Ever start out hating a character only to be surprised by how secretly awesome he or she is?  Ever fall in love with a character only to realize they are one of the biggest douches in the world.  Did this happen in the middle of game?  Did this happen as soon as you heard this [...]

Monday Night Combat is not the Team Fortress 2 clone you think it is

by Brad Simons · July 30th, 2010 · 21 Comments

Remember that shitty GTA clone, Yakuza? Just like in GTA, Yakuza had the player driving from mission to mission, running over pedestrians, and wasting wave after wave of dudes with rocket launchers. At least that’s what was believed by people who think that a game that slightly resembles another, must play like another.  And there [...]

Review: Afterburner Climax

by Joseph Christ · July 30th, 2010 · 5 Comments

Afterburner Climax can be described as your basic patterned enemy shoot’em-up with a slight dose of bullet hell mixed in.   Bur just because you can describe it that way but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you should.  Much like you can watch Top Gun and only see a jet combat movie, you would at [...]

Halo Reach Campaign Trailer Tickles My Fancy

by Nick Henderson · July 30th, 2010 · 12 Comments

Halo Reach is the first game in the series that I have legitimately followed and built hype for prior to launch. The game seems like a complete package because of it’s obvious robust multiplayer offering, slick forge mode, and it is one of the only games in the series to really offer some new (at [...]

Waking up today, I was reminded of the times we live in now. I made a call to Japan via Skype. Had an hour or so video conversation. Then went browsing through the internet to find music for a few Japanese CDs. Finally, I finished up my morning by downloading the new AKB48 6th Stage [...]

Joe Danger Review

by Ben Alford · July 28th, 2010 · 6 Comments

Joe Danger is an interesting name. The first name Joe is about as ordinary as one can get, it even has phrases like “average Joe” attached to it. And the word Danger is something relegated to the middle name of stuntmen the world over, yet Joe wears it as his surname. If you want to [...]

Today, faithful readers, we trek on a land remembered and cherished for thirteen years. The game which defined the RPG genre, if not the PS1 era. We shall poke the soft [...]

Message to Valve: “Hire this team!”

While we all know and love Portal, much fewer probably know the game’s origin. In short, Valve saw this game Narbacular Drop made by a team of students from DigiPen and hired them immediately. This team and Valve then refined and polished this idea and turned it into the amazing game that is Portal. Now [...]
