Review: Inversion (360)
Gimmick game mechanics can be hit or miss. NeverDead received mixed reactions for its gameplay, and MindJack was destroyed by criticism. Inversion attempts to set itself apart with the use of gravity as a gameplay mechanic. Developed by Saber Interactive (known for TimeShift, Battle: Los Angeles, and for assisting with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition) and published by Namco, Inversion is ...[Read More]

Review: Spec Ops: The Line (360/PS3)
Aside from the week I spent without power due to the storm that hit the east coast recently, I’ve been playing a lot of Spec Ops: The Line. Developed by Yager and published by 2K Games, Spec Ops: The Line is a third-person shooter that brings a new story to the Spec Ops games. After playing the demo, I wasn’t sure if this would be one of the top games of its genre. I felt like I was pl...[Read More]
Ready to Rock? Rock Band Blitz Release Date Announced
Earlier this year, at PAX East, I had the opportunity to play a bit of Rock Band Blitz, and let me tell you, it was pretty bad ass. It was easily one of those games that I just couldn’t wait to play again. After waiting, and waiting, and WAITING, Harmonix has finally announced the release date and pricing for Rock Band Blitz, previously scheduled for “Summer 2012.” Do you remembe...[Read More]
Enter The Dominatrix Being Incorporated Into Next Saints Row Title
Early last month, THQ announced an expansion to Volition’s wildly popular dildo-bat simulator, Saints Row: The Third. This expansion, titled “Enter the Dominatrix,” has as of today been canceled. Yes, you read that right: canceled. That being said, have no fear, Saints Row fans. The now-canceled Enter the Dominatrix content will be incorporated into the next Saints Row game, titl...[Read More]

Less than a month after Bethesda made many gamers break out into giant grins with the announcement of the DOOM 3 BFG Edition, they pull it off again with the announcement of a solid release date and pricing. I grew up playing this classic on the original Xbox, so the chance to see it with better graphics and more levels is sure to be a fun time. DOOM 3 BFG Edition is hitting stores on October 16th...[Read More]
Review: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (360)
At last year’s E3, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was one of the highlights of the titles Ubisoft had to offer. To be perfectly fair, most of the titles that Ubisoft had to offer last year were the highlights of what Ubisoft had to offer, but this review is for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, so for the purposes of this review, it was totally one of the more impressive highlight...[Read More]
Review: Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike (Anime)
As I’ve said before, video game movies can be pretty rough. At times, a movie based on a video game may have a terribly translated story, while at other times, it can cross over from one medium to the other beautifully. This time, we’re looking at Tales of Vesperia, a well known Xbox 360 RPG that I’ve played in the past. The movie version, Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike, doe...[Read More]
E3 2012: Dragon Ball Kinect Screenshots
Whether you care to admit it or not, you watched Dragon Ball Z on Cartoon Network, and you LOVED IT. Who didn’t look forward to sitting down and watching episodes of power-ups that lasted so long they would make the Energizer bunny jealous? E3 is full of news, and with Namco Bandai busy announcing games and releasing screenshots, I’m here to pass them on to you. You can probably guess ...[Read More]
E3 2012: Harmonix Announces Dance Central 3
If rhythm is a dancer, then call me rhythm. Oh, snap! Now that I feel incredibly old for making a musical reference that only about 20% of you will understand, let’s get to the point! Last October, about a week before my 29th birthday, Dance Central 2 was released to critical acclaim. Today, at the Microsoft E3 press conference down in sunny, clear skies Los Angeles, CA, Dance Central 3 was ...[Read More]
Review: EinsteinModz Xbox 360 Controller
Most standard Xbox 360 controllers, whether they’re manufactured by Microsoft or by a third party, are pretty much the same in every way but price. That’s not the case with the Xbox 360 controller I’ve been using recently. When it comes to modding, I support it to a certain point, ranging from cosmetic changes to additional functionality. The team at EinsteinModz creates some ver...[Read More]
Capcom Announces Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Edition
Capcom loves releasing fighting games. I’ll admit, I own quite a few Capcom fighting titles, but I don’t always give them the love that’s needed. Maybe it’s because I’m bad at them…one day I’d love to have a nice fight-stick to help increase my chances of winning. That being said, today Capcom has announced the limited edition Street Fighter 25th Anniversa...[Read More]
