You all know that I’m not a big fan of the Kinect. Part of me understands where Microsoft is going with it, but I don’t think it’s even necessary to go there. The bevy of craptastic Kinect games since the launch of the peripheral have proven me mostly right so far, but if you wanted [...]

This week, 4PP jumps the shark (Well I hope not…)! Jack joins the group this week as we try our best to calmly discuss the recently announced Resident Evil 6. Capcom seems determined to split the loyal Resident Evil fan-base even further by fueling the identity crisis that started with Resident Evil 4. It’s a [...]

Sega is currently not commenting on the push back, but we can only imagine that there is still a hefty amount of work to be done on [...]

Microsoft points, Moon Dollars, Banana Dollars, Orphan Tears,  Dicklish Globules. Whatever you’ve called them, they’ve been the much maligned currency we’ve been forced to use when buying Microsoft goods over XBLA.  Noone likes them, but we’ve all resigned ourself to the fact that they would be in our life forever.
