Too Much Awesome

The Donkey Kong Country Trilogy stands as one of the best grouping of video games you can possibly find, and certainly one of the best platforming experiences next to the holiness that is Mario and early Sonic. Nintendo set out to recreate the glory of DK’s finest hour, tasking Retro Studios with the job. Did [...]

Guys and gals, regardless of your preference behind the Call of Duty series, we have a clear winner this year for outstanding sales: Call of Duty: Black Ops. It’s managed to sell over 5.6 million copies in just its first few days, and I’m pretty certain it’s going to keep right on selling those. What [...]

The year is in its eleventh hour now with some of the biggest games coming and going too fast to keep up with. My only hope is that a small arcade-style title named Super Meat Boy doesn’t get washed away with the rest of the usual fodder. Much of this rests on my love of [...]

I feel very sad now. You know why? Because I have just finished playing Ninja Theory’s new game, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and… well… it was really really good. I am sad because I realized that I merely rented it and will have to return it tomorrow. While the length of the story is [...]

So we all know my opinion of the first Dead Rising game. I dinged it heavily due to escort missions, limitations on weapons, and above all, a ridiculous timer affecting everything I did. Now that Dead Rising 2 is out, how do I feel about a largely unchanged sequel? Well, that’s what you’ll have to [...]

Game nerds my age all remember the game “GoldenEye 007” with fond memories. For me personally, “GoldenEye” was the reason I bought a Nintendo 64, and that was how I became a gamer at all (my early days of button-mashing on the NES don’t really count).

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.

I am not a fan of hype. Any time I hear too much on a title I start to dislike the game on principle alone, so Heavy Rain was big on my skeptical radar. I had been hearing all sorts of things about the PS3 exclusive regarding the detail of graphics and the amount of [...]

I called it. I’d only played the demo for Dante’s Inferno but that was all I needed to figure this one out entirely. Now that it’s been out for a week or so, let’s take a look at Dante’s Inferno as it plays as a game, though I could probably just tell you to go [...]

If you’ve read my Bioshock review, you already know that I like Bioshock. If you read my preview for Bioshock 2, then you know I’m pretty psyched for the sequel. Well, the sequel’s out now, so did it live up to my expectations? There is some good, some bad, and some blah, but let’s save [...]
