E3 2011: Nyko
In addition to all of the crazy games debuted at E3, gaming accessories are a must-see. From the larger, well-known companies to the smaller ones ready to make a big splash, you never know what surprises are in store. I was thrilled when I had to chance to book an appointment with Nyko, as I absolutely love the Charge Station for our 360 controllers, and was excited to see what goodies they had to...[Read More]
Gaming is for Everyone – The Theme of the Year at E3
Amid all the new systems, games, bundles and other shenanigans throughout E3, one common theme can be discerned amid the mix of disconcerting euphoria: Gaming should be enjoyed by all, not just some. Is this the trend we can expect to see the upcoming generation of gaming to follow? Is it the path that has the interests of all gamers–and not just some–in mind?
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]
Ubisoft Releases New Child of Eden Trailer to Get You in the Mood
If any of you out there reading this own a 360 but don’t have a Kinect yet, go do so before June 14th. Why? Because Child of Eden is going to be ridiculously badass.
360/Kinect Gets Its Own Virtua Tennis 4 Trailer
So far, it’s been nothing from the SEGA Virtua Tennis 4 camp but PS3, PS3, PS3. Today, for the rest of us, we are treated to a trailer for the 360/Kinect! Granted, the first portion of the Kinect trailer shows them using…conventional controllers. But patience pays off, as Kinect play eventually appears!
PS3 Gets Exclusive Virtua Tennis 4 Content
Virtua Tennis 4 hits the 360, PS3, Wii, and PC on May 10, 2011 (May 14, 2011 for EU). When that day comes, PS3 owners will get a great little handful of exclusive content not available to 360/Wii/PC players. I can only hope that the 360 gets similar treatment and receives its own set of exclusives, since I don’t have a PS3, but I’ll just have to wait and see what happens. I am desperat...[Read More]
Carnival Games is Fun But Makes You Hate Monkeys

Review: Kinect Sports (X360)
First, there was Wii Sports and stories of people letting go of their controller mid-tennis match and smashing their TVs. Then, PlayStation Move came out with its version, Sports Champions, and we heard the same stories. Well, Xbox’s Kinect takes away that fear by taking away the controllers! All while still providing a great sporting experience!
Review: Kinect Adventures (X360)
Kinect Adventures is the game that comes with the Kinect Bundle for Xbox 360. Available with just the game and the sensor or bundled with an Xbox 360 S, gamers everywhere helped this product sell out quickly. Steve Balmer of Microsoft recently announced at CES 2011 that nearly 8 million Kinect bundles have sold worldwide. So, with so many copies of Kinect Adventures floating around, just how well ...[Read More]
Review: Kinect Sensor
First, I gave you delightful readers a review of PlayStation Move, then, Austin gave us a nice PlayStation Move vs. Xbox Kinect article back in September. So, now that the Xbox Kinect has been released, what’s the verdict?
Is Casual Gaming Killing the Industry?
The other day I had a thought about the gaming industry as a whole, and the direction it seemed to be heading in, and I wondered if the industry itself was slowly dying from the recent surge in casual gaming. Now, before you all think I’m about to bash the casual gaming genre, please take the time to actually read what I am about to say instead of jumping to conclusions.
