Come Get Some…Again
I may be in the minority but I played the original Gears of War strictly for the single player experience (Coop Campaign included). Whenever I attempted to take my play online I was constantly met with players that were far superior and would be able to 1 hit kill me without me getting a single bit of enjoyment out of… Continue reading Gears of War 2 - Fashionably Late Review

Highway to the Danger Zone?
I truly can’t remember the last time I’ve even attempted to play a “Flight Simulation” game (possibly Top Gun for the NES?). Thankfully Tom Clancy‘s HAWX seems to be a solid attempt by Ubisoft to provide a more accessible dogfight experience. … Continue reading Tom Clancy's HAWX - Demo Preview
Leave Your RTS Baggage At The Door
Real Time Strategy games have had quite the difficult time attempting to come over to consoles. I’m not sure if it’s the constant moving around the battlefield that is the difficult thing to compensate for due to the limiting controller on consoles or whether there are too many commands and too little button real estate. From what… Continue reading Halo Wars Demo - Different Halo, Same Fun
Everbody Was Kung Fu Fighting…
The Cartoon Network animated series Afro Samurai has arrived onto the console scene in the form of a action game for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The game plays very much like the PS2 era Shinobi games rather than either of the… Continue reading Afro Samurai Demo Preview
Casino of The Living Dead
The only bad thing about zombies is becoming one yourself, otherwise they’re a blast. It can be quite viseral to take out a whole group of them with abandon. One of my favorite zombie games was the original Dead Rising for Xbox 360. The great mix of gore and outright silliness (Mega
Spreading The Love
I, like many of you gamers out there, have tried and failed when trying to share my love of games with others. While all of us may have the best intentions from the beginning, we usually meet failure because of lack of forethought or over enthusiasm for our hobby. Instead of adding new gamers to the gaming community’s numbers we usually only succeed in solidifying their… Continue reading 8 Tips for Gaming With Loved Ones
Far Cry 2 – An Exercise in Overachieving Mediocrity
I will start this semi-review with a caveat, I did not finish Far Cry 2. While Far Cry 2 is a very competent shooter, there seemed to be way too much working against me ever beginning to enjoy it. Whether it was the lack of a quick travel feature, the random battles, or having malaria, there were things in this… Continue reading Far Cry 2 - Initial Impressions
1. Large library of kids games and casual games that can please even the pickiest of gamers. These games can range from the kid friendy Viva Pinata series to the assortment of Xbox Live Arcade titles that can be downloaded directly to your Xbox 360 within minutes.
2. Netflix can… Continue reading Top 5 Reasons To Buy a Xbox 360
First Person Platforming
Mirror’s Edge reminds me more of an old school platformer ala Mega Man than it brings to mind any other games that use the first person viewpoint. Rather than picking up guns to take out your next target you’re steered towards running away from conflicts whenever it is possible. I found… Continue reading Mirror's Edge Review - Worthwhile Patience Tester
