Review: Rock Band 3 (360)
Strange as it may sound, my last real Rock Band experience was Rock Band 2 on my PlayStation 2 back in 2008. I enjoyed it immensely (I even lost my voice once doing Filter’s Hey Man, Nice Shot; I was committed to the song), but because of my wife’s susceptibility to Simulation Sickness (a kind of motion sickness brought on by certain video games), we ended up selling it due to disuse, ...[Read More]
Rise of the Triad Returning in 2012
One of the greatest tragedies this world has ever seen was the overshadowing of Rise of the Triad by the DOOM franchise. While others were running around fighting hellbeasts, my friends and I were co-opting our middle school computer lab to run LAN games of Rise of the Triad, and my nights were spent bathing in ludicrous amounts of gibs. Rise of the Triad had the best weapons, the best power-ups, ...[Read More]

Dishonored Shows You Multiple Ways to Escape
Every time I see something from Bethesda for their upcoming supernatural/steampunk first-person adventure Dishonored, I get more and more excited. While I’m generally not keen on first-person perspective games since I feel they don’t always provide the same range of peripheral visibility that normal sight offers, I still find myself excited for this one. Bethesda’s latest gamepla...[Read More]
Review: Mad Catz Wireless PRO-Drum and PRO-Cymbals (360)
Drummers absolutely need one skill to be successful: rhythm. It’s a funny thing, rhythm; you either have it, or you don’t. If you have it, you know you have it. If you don’t have it, you either know you don’t have it, or you know you have it and the people who tell you otherwise are just JEALOUS. I know I have it. It’s what makes me a great drummer, an absolutely phen...[Read More]
Review: Mad Catz Wireless Fender Precision Replica Bass (360)
I’ve always had an affinity for the musical arts. I picked up violin in the fourth grade after spending Kindergarten through third grade becoming a guitar virtuoso. To be fair, the guitar was made of plastic and had little buttons along the fret that played totally radical riffs, but I was a bloody rock god and I don’t care what anyone else says about it. Back then, in the late 80s and...[Read More]
