Let’s Think Deep: Motion Controls in Games

Oh the lies these kids have told us over the years. If you’ve been paying attention to the gaming world this week, Sony gave an official name to their motion control add-on to the PS3. While not exactly awe-inspiring, the Playstation Move makes sure you know exactly what you do with it. We’ve known about it for a while, same as Microsoft’s Project Natal, but this week was the first we saw what sort of games were being developed to make... 

Twenty Years and Still Going: A Simpsons Retrospective

I don't think I'll ever get tired of these people. True Fact: I grew up in the United States of America. I’m not trying to brag or anything, it’s just simple stating of fact. Why this is important to The Simpsons has to do with what The Simpsons is to me: An American Institution. This in no way means that I believe The Simpsons is only for Americans. Oh heavens no, The Simpsons is a show for the entire world. It’s been aired all over,... 

The Luckiest Number: Final Fantasy XIII Review

Sure, that's a motorcycle made out of summon goddesses. I can think of nothing weird about that. I’m fighting with myself regarding the best way to handle this review. It’s probably best that I make a few things abundantly clear right away since anyone that thinks about it and runs the numbers will figure out my chief reservation: Final Fantasy XIII came out today and I have no money. There is no way that I could have written this review after... 

Actually You’re In Pretty Good Company: A Review of Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Like Army of Two but a whole heck of a lot better and not at all like Army of Two. Can anything come along and uproot Modern Warfare from its place as the dominant FPS? For a while it didn’t appear so, but just as Halo was ousted by Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare has been outshone by Battlefield: Bad Company 2. How is that possible? Read on and I’ll tell you.  Read More →

The Blue Bomber Strikes Again: A Review of Mega Man 10

Whoa, that looks pretty tight. Do I love Mega Man? Yes I do. I even wrote about how much I loved Mega Man 2, specifically. Not long ago Capcom decided to bring the Blue Bomber back to his NES roots and copied the style of his original games exactly for Mega Man 9. Everything was just like it was on the NES, graphics, sounds, controls, and even screen-stutter if you really wanted the authentic experience. Mega Man 10 continues this trend, but is it... 

Shame on the Globins: Resident Evil 5 and Racism

I agree Emoglobin, they should have known better. Yesterday we shared a pleasant time thinking about Resident Evil 4 and how great of a game it is. All that happiness is now gone since it’s time to talk about Resident Evil 5. I just beat it, and while I thought it was terrible compared to RE4, I couldn’t help but think more about whether the game happened to be, oh how was it put, ‘racist’? Is RE5 racist? That was the topic of discussion last... 

Games You Should Have Played: Resident Evil 4

Remember, Leon has proven that Kung Fu is an acceptable defence against zombie-ish villagers. If you’ve been following me on Twitter (which you should), you may have noticed that I’ve been playing Resident Evil 5. I’ll have a full article on that tomorrow but for now I’m more concerned with its predecessor, Resident Evil 4. RE4 is without question one of the best games of all time and easily within my top 10, if not top 5. Why was that? Well...
