Review: The Gunstringer (Kinect)
Sit right down and I’ll tell you a tale…a tale of adventure, brotherhood, betrayal, justice, and revenge. The Gunstringer, the rootinest-tootinest sheriff in the West, was betrayed by his posse. With the spirit of revenge in him, he rises from the dead to enforce justice on his former friends. All variety of bandits and bad guys are thrown his way, but he plows through them all. Nobody...[Read More]
Review: RAGE (360)
RAGE is an absolutely beautiful game. Regardless of what else may be said about the game, RAGE brings its post-apocalyptic world to stunning life with an amazingly crafted environment, wonderful character design, and smooth animations. And let me tell you something…by the time you get through the first disc of RAGE, you’ll be glad that it’s so beautiful…because you’re...[Read More]
Review: Orcs Must Die! (XBLA)
There are fantasy worlds in which orcs are noble creatures. Valiant, peaceful, and in harmony with nature, these orcs are worthy of respect and admiration. While I do appreciate the effort that has gone in to bringing a modicum of civility and gentility to a stereotypically barbarous and bloodthirsty race, my orcs of choice have always been, and always will be, Tolkien orcs. Orcs Must Die!, as you...[Read More]
October is Batman-month!

Trailer: Rayman Origins – Around the World
With just about a month and a half to go until we can get our grubby little hands on Rayman Origins, Ubisoft has given us a trailer that shows us the game’s environments and how our physiologically impossible heroes look dashing wildly around them. Beautiful colors, wonderful style, and smooth animation make the Glade of Dreams, Rayman and his friends, and the Darktoons all look quite appeal...[Read More]
Review: Child of Eden (PS3)
Just over two months ago, Child of Eden was released for the Xbox 360 and Kinect. Tetsuya Miziguchi’s follow-up to his visually stunning Rez was an absolute improvement, bringing gamers a truly beautiful visual and aural experience. Now, that same experience has made its debut on the Playstation 3 console, with Move support. How does it compare?
Review: Resident Evil 4 HD (PSN)
It’s no secret that gamers are ruled by nostalgia. Each time we pick up the controller we’re trying to recreate that incredible first time when everything was new and exciting. Like the drug addict, we keep trying, but we always refer back to what came before. With such a passion for the classics, the recent deluge of “High Definition” remakes is hardly surprising, and since Resident Evil 4 seems ...[Read More]

Spider-Man: The Animated Retrospective
With the arrival of Spider-Man: Edge of Time next week, as well as the reboot of the film franchise and the next animated series based on and inspired by Ultimate Spider-Man, I think it’s time we looked back at the webslinger’s long animated career. And where better place to start than at the beginning?

Loaded with new maps, updated classic maps from the original game, new game modes, ranked matchmaking, cross-platform play, leaderboards, new weapons, and more, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is going to absolutely kill any free time I may o...[Read More]
Review: Renegade Ops (XBLA)
A supervillain named Inferno is threatening the world, and the United Nations wants to negotiate, against the will of General Bryant. Facing the grim reality of the cowardice of politicians, General Bryant does the only sane thing there is to do; he forms a group of operatives who will work outside of the law to take down the threat that Inferno is presenting. These uncontrolled operatives, or Ren...[Read More]
Review: Radiant Silvergun (XBLA)
In the past, I may have made mention of my adoration for Ikaruga. I have spent many frustrated hours immersed in the bullet hell of Ikaruga, and I don’t regret a single second of it. Now, for the first time in my life, I’ve had the chance to play the game that made Ikaruga possible: Radiant Silvergun. Developed by Treasure, and ported as an XBLA exclusive, Radiant Silvergun is just as ...[Read More]
