Review: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD (XBLA)
Music is a very strong memory anchor. To this day, over a decade later, any time I hear Lagwagon’s “May 16th,” or Millencolin’s “No Cigar,” or Goldfinger’s “Superman,” I suddenly find myself grinding the helicopter blades in Hangar, or taking that first rolling ramp down into the Warehouse, or pulling off my first 900, or any of the various oth...[Read More]

Ubisoft Unveils More Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth at Comic-Con
With Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth, there seem to be three camps: anticipatory, apathetic, and dismissive. I place myself firmly in the anticipatory camp, because I honestly think that the potential entertainment value of this game is being nurtured and developed by the right hands: Ubisoft. The trailers, while definitely not representative of gameplay when compared to the less than stellar sc...[Read More]
Just Dance 4 Gameplay & Limited Tracklist
Whenever I see the word “Europe” anywhere, I automatically yell out (depending on location, sometimes in my mind instead of out loud) that it’s “THE FINAAAAL COUNTDOOOOWN!” Sorry, Europeans (internal on that one, given my current whereabouts), but that’s the lot that life has dealt you all. Alternatively, whenever I see the name Selena Gomez, I automatically hav...[Read More]
ZombiU Trailers and Screenshots From Comic-Con 2012
Between the PlayStation Vita and the Nintendo Wii U, Ubisoft has done more than its fair share of making handhelds and consoles look like they’re worth buying. One of the big titles that receives some derision for its title, but praise for its concept, is ZombiU. Yes, another zombie game. How, then, can it be receiving praise? If your character gets eaten by zombies, you start from the begin...[Read More]
Borderlands 2 Gets Whimsical New Trailer
When I was in fourth grade, I was in a radio commercial back in my hometown of Oklahoma City. The five best readers in the school district were chosen to participate in the commercial, so one day we all drove down to KOMA, the local Oldies station, and started to lay down some mad tracks. Even though they gave me a cassette of the commercial, I wanted to listen to it on the air, so I started liste...[Read More]
Starz’ Spartacus Coming to Consoles in 2013
The last few years have seen a very strong trend of historical fiction television earning great success, both critically and commercially. Rome, The Tudors, The Borgias, Spartacus, and more, have sparked an interest in history that is very welcome. Yesterday, Ubisoft announced that Starz’ hit series Spartacus would be making its way to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in early 2013 as a retail rel...[Read More]
Blizzard Raises $330,000 for St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital
In October 2011, Blizzard announced a charity auction in which they would sell their old server architecture. Interested parties could bid on the blades for their favorite World of Warcraft servers with the proceeds going to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. While the prices were a bit high for me, I found the idea and the cause to be compelling and novel. For those of us who...[Read More]

I have no doubt that Assassin’s Creed III Liberation is going to be one of the defining titles for the PS Vita hardware, and definitely a big driver of PS Vita hardware sales for the last quarter of calendar year 2012 and forward. I’ve been a huge fan of the Assassin’s Creed series, and am definitely looking forward to having two new Assassin’s Creed games to play this Octo...[Read More]
