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.

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.

I found… Continue reading Mirror's Edge Review - Worthwhile Patience Tester
Prologue
Flashback to my 14 year old self sitting in a hospital lobby trying to pass the time until my 10 minutes of viewing time with my grandmother would come around. We all knew what was coming but I spent 12 hours of the day sitting alone while the adults took turns visiting her all day or taking smoke breaks to talk amongst themselves. It was agony to be… Continue reading Child's Play - Charitable Gamers Unite!

While not perfect, Microsoft Community Games was released into the world late last year with a wide variety of “home-brewed” games to try and/or purchase.

Sequelitis – Curable Ailment or Terrible Epidemic?
I was checking out Twitter this morning when I came across this article from Planet Xbox360. I agree with most of the points Ivone Alexandre has written about in the article but there are a few that I feel are a little off point. Yes, last year’s tops games were for… Continue reading Bioshock - Does it need a sequel?
Around 1 AM last night I fired up my freshly downloaded copy of the Resident Evil 5 Demo that recently arrived on Live Market Place. Right off the bat I can say the environments look absolutely amazing but the character models seemed like they were plucked straight out of early 2002. I’m trying not to be too judgemental but I have to ask Capcom, Why are Chris Redfield’s arms so… Continue reading Resident Evil 5 - First Impressions
