Dantes Inferno Winged Devil 580x326 Blasphemy Unto Kratos: A Review of Dantes Inferno

No seriously, you've seen this game before.

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 play God of War and get the desired effect. Whoops. Let’s start. Read more

FIFA Soccar 10 Mad Skillz 580x326 There Might Be Something To This Soccer Thing: A Review of FIFA Soccer 10

If I had any amount of stamina, I'd totally want to play soccer.

Something about football games don’t exactly appeal to me. Maybe it’s the fact that year after year they tend not to focus so much on progressing the series in favor of just updating the roster.

Probably. Let’s continue.

Dantes Inferno Big Bad 580x326 Lets Think Deep: Dantes Inferno and Its Place In The World

Is Dante's Inferno offensive? Let's Think Deep. Also yes.

However, I’m about to go into a Let’s Think Deep that is going to tread on some extremely serious, touchy, and possibly inflammatory grounds. I’m going to be talking about Christianity, or more specifically, how Christianity appears in Dante’s Inferno. Not the classic Italian poem. No, the new video game based on said epic, and I use the phrase “based on” extremely loosely. So if you’re ready to Think Deep, let’s begin. Read more
