E3 2011: Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure
Every now and then a game comes along that, while designed and marketed for a younger market, captures my interest and imagination in a uniquely satisfying way. No, I’m not talking about Barbie Horse Adventures. I’m talking about one of Activision’s E3 offerings, Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure.
E3 2011: Centipede: Infestation
Missile Command was tasked with defending the planet from a massive barrage of…missiles. Unfortunately, Missile Command failed. The resulting explosion brought about mutations in the local insects. The insects were not happy with their mutations and, led by the fearsome villain CENTIPEDE, they decided to make their previous oppressors (that would be the people who smush bugs) pay for their m...[Read More]
E3 2011: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
This year at E3, Nintendo was not only celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Legend of Zelda series but also showing off the newest addition to the franchise; The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Nintendo Wii. I got a chance to play through a bit of Skyward Sword during E3, and as a huge Zelda fan I fell they are finally doing justice to the series on the Wii.
E3 2011: Driver: San Francisco
It’s hard to imagine that almost 12 years have passed since the first Driver was released. I can still vividly recall the levels, the missions, and most importantly, the driving on one of my favorite driving games of all time. I can still picture the underground parking garage where the tutorial section took place. I played so much Driver on my PC, back in the day, that I actually wore out t...[Read More]
E3 2011: Will the Wii U Bring Traditional Gamers Back?
Nintendo did their thing, a new console was shown and my body was ready for it. Was yours? What did you think about what Nintendo is dishing out? More importantly, does this newest development make you want to sink some money into Nintendo once again?

Review: Virtua Tennis 4 (360)
I’ve been looking forward to Virtua Tennis 4 since it was announced. I may or may not have mentioned it before on the site (I totally have), but Virtua Tennis for the SEGA Dreamcast is one of my absolute favorite video games. I was a Virtua Tennis MASTER. Adding achievements, a multi-stage World Tour mode, a strong (but fundamentally flawed) character creation system, and vastly improved gra...[Read More]
The Philosophical Question of the PSN Outage
Is online connectivity really all it’s cracked up to be? In the wake of Sony completely losing their online service for over a week, I just have to ask one potentially-obvious-but-maybe-not question: Do we as gamers really need online? In this modern era of gaming where so much is convenient and instantaneous, is online service a necessity, the future of gaming, a perk that we take for grant...[Read More]
Review: Conduit 2 (Wii)
After all the waiting, finally I get to play Conduit 2. In this sequel to Sega and High Voltage Software’s popular Wii shooter, the stakes are higher as Michael Ford continues to chase his enemy Adams across the planet. Should we follow along? Let’s find out.
Review: Monster Jam: Path of Destruction (Wii)
Ah yes, Monster Jam. A bizarre obsession in America, ranking close with NASCAR as an one of our most popular vehicle-based "sports" wherein the drivers perform amazing stunts and complete speedy races to awe the crowd. Really, both are incredibly simplistic endeavors, but they manage to gather enough popularity to create a handful of console games, a few of which get ported over to the Wii. With, ...[Read More]
