The following can only be described as completely brilliant.  Imagine the God of War franchise done as one of those ironic, uncomfortable, clearly cliche’ indie flicks. You know, the ones where there people where bad clothes (because doesn’t everyone wear track suits and pants that are too short?) and the music is of a particularly whiny-yet-catchy class that you [...]

Bizarre Creations Reveals 007: Blood Stone

by Nick Henderson · July 16th, 2010 · 12 Comments

In an unexpected turn of events, Bizarre Creations finally revealed their new Bond game entitled Blood Stone today. The reason I say unexpected is that the game really looks like a traditional bond game, with high octane driving sequences and third person ass kicking included.

Infamous 2 Gameplay Impressions

by Nick Henderson · July 4th, 2010 · 30 Comments

The reveal of the Infamous 2 trailer at E3 was incredibly underwhelming for me. The Game Informer article that revealed the first concrete details also left me a bit worried about the direction that the series was headed in. The hero, Cole, had been redesigned, the setting didn’t impress me the way I expected it [...]
