Vanquish
Bayonetta 10 Year Anniversary (Xbox One) Review- Infinite Climax
If you told me 10 years ago that a game called Bayonetta would be in my top 10 games I’ve ever played list and top 5 musical soundtracks list, I would have called you a liar or a mad man. Now 10 years later, Bayonetta still holds a special place in my heart.
Vanquish 10th Anniversary (Xbox One) Review
Vanquish is one of those games that blended in next to its contemporaries, creating a passionate group of players that discovered it as a hidden gem of the era. At a glance, this power fantasy starring a rather plain armored super-soldier seems to be a typical third-person shooter with various guns and cover mechanics. What lies beneath is a complex web of systems that all aim to let players expre...[Read More]
Xbox Games with Gold May 2018
Xbox Live Gold members you still have the opportunity to download Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate for free until May 15th. Although the Games with Gold May 2018 offer may not be as good as April 2018’s GwG offer, it will still offer Xbox Live Gold members two rather impressive titles.
Shoot Many Robots – Customization
I have a great fondness for shooting robots. Two of my favorite shooter experiences, 2010’s Vanquish and the very recent Binary Domain, are both focused on dismantling robots by way of bullet hell. That’s part of why, even though it’s a very different format and style than both of the aforementioned games, I’m very excited for Shoot Many Robots. I like shooting robots. Shoo...[Read More]
Marooners’ Talk: Episode 013 – “The One Where We Talk About Some Games…And Shit.”
I know I probably said this in the last episode (This is Episode 12), as well, but this time I mean it: Marooners’ Talk is returning to a weekly format! WOOO! FANFARE AND APPLAUSE! Today’s episode of Marooners’ Talk, titled “The One Where We Talk About Some Games…And Shit” (so titled because I forgot to think of a title prior to recording) marks episode 13 of ou...[Read More]
E3 2011: Binary Domain
When I first saw the trailer for Binary Domain a month or two ago, I thought to myself, “Hm. Did they just try to take Vanquish and make it a slower squad based shooter?” Now, Vanquish was one of my favorite games out of 2010, so this wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing; just an unoriginal thing. Luckily, from what I saw at E3, this is going to be something very different.
Review: Section 8: Prejudice (XBLA)
I’m generally not a fan of XBLA shooters. I’m generally even less a fan of XBLA shooters that poorly attempt to emulate the gameplay or design of full price retail release shooters. With those particular prejudices (hurr-hurr, see what I did there?) already in place, it would seem that I would be an odd fit to review Section 8: Prejudice, a first-person shooter based on a full price re...[Read More]
Platinum and SEGA Announce Anarchy Reigns
In mid-December we heard rumors that a potential fifth team-up between developer Platinum Games (Vanquish and Bayonetta) and publisher SEGA could occur this year. This morning, those rumors were solidified into fact, as the fifth game in the four-game publishing contract between Platinum Games and SEGA was announced: Anarchy Reigns.

It’s officially 2011, so it’s time to recap and present to you all our choices for the best and worst video games that came out in 2010. We’ve all been working on this for months, changing some of our choices as new games came out, but what you see below is what we’ve all finally settled on.
Platinum Games Not Done With SEGA Yet
2010 has been an excellent year for Platinum Games, with the North American releases of Bayonetta and Vanquish providing me some of the most memorable gaming I have had the pleasure of experiencing in a very long time. Now that they’ve reached the end of their four-game publishing deal with SEGA, what comes next for the studio that has made itself very near and dear to my heart? Well, obviou...[Read More]
Review: Vanquish
Vanquish is not the game you play for a deep, thought-provoking, socially-relevant story. Vanquish is the game you play for knock-your-socks-off, blow-your-mind, tear-a-hole-in-the-space-time-continuum entertainment that’s so good it will make you want to slap your mama. Don’t get me wrong, a great story is always welcome; but to me, it is always secondary to gameplay. Where was the st...[Read More]
