Too Much Awesome

So lately, I’ve been playing a lot of InFamous 2. Since my review, I have completed both the good and evil story lines and am on my third playthrough with a friend. One thing that a game like InFamous 2 did so well was create an open world that is just plain fun to explore and [...]

Microsoft’s big new motion controller apparatus was officially released last week, showing the world what a non-controller could look like. A handful of games have come out for it (notice that I’ve reviewed none of them) and huge changes occurred to the Xbox as a whole. But what does Kinect really mean for us? What [...]

One of the biggest releases of this month, Dead Rising 2, will be out tomorrow. Somehow without even planning it, I managed to play the first game in the series, Dead Rising, right before the sequel comes out.

Usually I’m pretty on the ball about getting reviews of games out when the game is still extremely fresh. God of War III is a huge title for the PS3 and has been out now for half a month or more, but no review from me yet. That’s because I wanted to actually play this [...]

I love video games. I play them frequently (and sometimes write about them, as you may have noticed). I always get excited with every new Mario and Zelda game, or anything that seems to interest me beyond a simple, “Oh, that looks like a fun game to rent.” But when I get down to it [...]

At this moment in time, the Nintendo Wii is set up to be known as the “winner” of the current console cycle due to the unexpected amount of sales and complete reversal from the previous console cycle. I for one couldn’t be happier for reasons I’ll get to eventually. Regardless of sales numbers, the Wii [...]
