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. Speculation had been running rampant that the new Bond game [...]

Is ‘Final Fantasy Versus 13′ the wrong name?

by Brad Simons · July 15th, 2010 · 43 Comments

When Square Enix first announced the Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy 13 “series”, the news was met with many rolling eyes. It felt as if they were trying to force an entire universe on us before we ever had the chance to decide if it was something we wanted. This was probably due to the [...]

The Finer Details: Lethality and Humanity in Peace Walker

When playing games with options in combat, if there is a non-lethal path then I try my best to take that pathway. I figure I should take advantage of the ability to not kill people. Though in most of the games with a non-lethal option, the states of a character being dead versus knocked out [...]
