Preview: Alice: Madness Returns
Wonderland on ecstasy. Three words that sprung to mind when I had the chance to preview Alice: Madness Returns recently. Still driven to find the people responsible for the deaths of her parents, Alice is trapped inside her imagination, alone and imprisoned by her broken memories.
E3 2011: Skyrim
Five and a half years ago, the gates of Oblivion opened and its denizens poured out into Tamriel. Eventually, after dicking around for days, or even weeks in a staggeringly massive open world doing odd jobs, hunting in the forest, and picking random fights with guards, I helped save Tamriel and sealed shut the gates of Oblivion. In November, Skyrim arrives and throws a crap-ton of dragons in your ...[Read More]
Review: inFAMOUS 2 (PS3)
Superhero protagonists aren’t exactly new to video games. However, more often than not, those superheroes are the common newstand fodder we see in comic book shops and in the movies. What made the original inFAMOUS so incredible was not just the spectacular game play, but the creation of an original hero that felt new yet familiar. Cole McGrath managed to appeal to nearly everyone, whether they ma...[Read More]
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: Star Trek
I’m going to let you all in on a little secret: I love Star Trek. I’m going to let you all in on another little secret: Kirk is better than Picard. Picard has his merits, I won’t argue that. He’s #2 in the Captain rankings, after all. He’s just not Captain James Tiberius Kirk. Kirk and Spock represent one of the best dichotomous relationships in science fiction, and a...[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?

Are you ready to see Kratos jumping right out at you? Want Yorda to really hold your hand? Well, it won’t happen. But it will look like it could! For these collections are coming in HD upgraded 3D.
New Tomb Raider is Absolutely Brutal
You know how modern day reboots of things get all dark and gritty? Yeah, the new Tomb Raider is like that, except it took more dark and gritty than usual and used it like soap.
T3: Top Ten Best Video Games of All Time
Everyone has their own opinion about what video games are the best that have ever graced a console. What makes this top ten list different and totally unique is that my opinion is, in fact, the correct opinion, whereas the opinions of the past are incorrect and undeniably inferior. Actually, to call it my “opinion” is in itself misleading, as it is no mere opinion, but solid, irrefutab...[Read More]
Anarchy Reigns Character Bio: Leo
While last week’s unfortunate news of Anarchy Reigns being delayed from Fall 2011 to early 2012 has put a bit of a damper on my spirits, SEGA knows just how to pull me out of my funk. Today, they’ve put out the eighth character bio for Anarchy Reigns. His name is Leo, and in keeping with the tradition of making video game characters named Leo look animemo (anime/emo, it just popped int...[Read More]
Review: Thor: God of Thunder (PS3)
It’s officially summer, which means superhero movies, which means superhero games. And with superhero games, there’s always a fine line to walk. For every game like Batman: Arkham Asylum, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, we get a ton of lousy ones. Does Thor’s solo game debut from Sega and Liquid Entertainment soar, or does it plummet?
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]
