What the f*@& did I just watch…
Review: Warriors: Legends of Troy (PS3)
Anyone who has made it through high school English should be familiar with Homers’ “The Illiad.” The epic poem detailing the Trojan War has been made in to countless adaptations on stage, in film, in comics and now, thank to Tecmo Koei, this generations of video games. Warriors: Legends of Troy takes gamers on a rather loosely interpreted trek through the Trojan country side, controlling various f...[Read More]
Review: FroliCat BOLT Interactive Pet Laser Toy
I’m a cat person. Over the years, I’ve found that a cheap way to get a great deal of entertainment out of your cat is with the use of a laser pointer. Racing the dot across the carpet, tile, and wall results in frenetic outburst of feline chattering, agility, and aerobatics. The laser pointer is also a good way to keep your cat’s attention occupied so that they stay out of troubl...[Read More]
Review: Double Dragon (iOS)
When you think of classic beat-em-up style games, Double Dragon has to be high on your list. Double Dragon was one of the early beat-em-up games that made going to the arcade with your friends worth your while. The NES port changed things up a bit, with only one person playing at a time and Jimmy, one half of the Double Dragons, serving as the main villain. As consoles advanced, the game inevitabl...[Read More]
Review: ScanGauge II
I am a self-admitted technology geek (among other kinds of geek). As a technology geek, I am a firm believer in the value and necessity of data. Johnny 5 said it best with his oft-quoted phrase, “Need input!” Well, I need input. I want statistical and diagnostic data and information about EVERYTHING. I want to know how my computer is performing, I want to know how my net connection is ...[Read More]
Review: Slam Bolt Scrappers (PS3)
You know, I don’t even know why I’m doing this. I’ve said everything about the game in my preview. It’s Tetris with guns. It’s fun. The only new info I have is that multiplayer is definitely fun and the single player is way too short. But I am obligated to give some more words to this game, so lets get this thing going on.
Weekly Retro Review: Super Metroid
When the original Metroid first appeared on the Nintendo Entertainment System, few could have predicted not just the hit it’d become, but how it would influence the genre of action-adventure in gaming. I mean, here we had a game where you couldn’t finish in a single sitting, one that actually had you go LEFT as opposed to the somewhat typical right, and was a huge adventure where you c...[Read More]
Review: Total War: Shogun 2 (PC)
Great warlords battle for the soul of Japan as Total War returns to its origins and asks who will rise up to become shogun of 16th century Japan.
Review: Battle: Los Angeles (XBLA)
When I think of Konami my mind doesn’t go towards the FPS genre at all, so when I found out that they were teaming up with Saber Interactive to create Battle: Los Angeles, a FPS based off of the (supposedly) horrible movie of the same name, I got a bit worried. Yeah Konami is the same company behind the Metal Gear franchise, but last time I checked gamers aren’t going all Master Chief ...[Read More]
Review: Shadow Ranch (iOS)
Over the past several months I’ve played a couple Nancy Drew games, but they were always for the PC. When I heard that a new Drew game called Shadow Ranch would be hitting iTunes I was curious to see how the PC gameplay would be implemented on a smaller scale. I was surprised when I was presented with a proper story rather than a hidden-object/puzzle game, but that’s not necessarily a ...[Read More]
Review: The Simpsons’ “A Midsummer’s Nice Dream”
A vast improvement over last week's episode.
