Too Much Awesome

“Will the Play Station Move continue to struggle and boggle down Sony’s progress? Or was 2010 simply a relapse year before the PS3 gets ready to blow our minds again? Only time will tell.” -Me, Last year. Well, the time has come. After a pretty uneventful 2010, with God of War 3 and Heavy Rain [...]

Well gang, I hate to admit it, but it’s spelled out in the skyward ceiling of the Grand Hall. The Legend of the legendary Harry Potter, a 20-year-long book series and a 10-year-long movie series that launched a pop culture phenomenon which now occupies roughly 9¾% of my childhood memories, has finally come to a [...]

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night, in the dusty recesses of their mind, wake in the day to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day, are dangerous men, for they may act out their dream with open eyes, to make it possible. This. I did. T.E. [...]

Back in 2009, Rocksteady’s brilliant Arkham Asylum reinvigorated my devotion to the Dark Knight. Jump ahead a bit and here we are at 2011 with its sequel, Arkham City, and a whole new level of Batman to explore. I’ve played through at least half of the total game experience and have quite a bit to [...]

Oh Insomniac Games, if only all developers were as motivated as you. You have delivered a new quality title every single year of the Play Station 3’s life cycle. Let’s count them. 2006: Resistance: Fall of Man 2007: Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction 2008: Resistance 2, AND the downloadable Ratchet and Clank Future: [...]

There are very few games out there that really get my gears turning and heart pumping like a good round of God of War, the epic tale of a one-Spartan-army and his rampage through the pantheon of Greek Mythology with the power of chain blades and quick time events. Praise him or condemn him, there [...]

Everyone and their cousin Fred have weighed in on L.A. Noire, and I thought it best to give a more in-depth look at the game now that the smoke has cleared. You have probably heard the basic premise of Rockstar’s latest interactive movie-game: As L.A.P.D. detective Cole Phelps, you sleuth and gumshoe your way around [...]

It would be quite an understatement to say that the development process of InFamous 2 was indeed an uneven road. Fans of the first InFamous back in 2009 were immediately taken in by the game’s strong sense of action and variety. It took the GTA open sandbox motif, and turned it on its head with [...]

It’s finally come to this. Over a decade later and the weight of this game’s release is too much for anyone to handle. Duke Nukem Forever was a joke that’d never die, and when we heard it was coming out of development hell during PAX Prime 2011, it seemed too good to be true. And [...]

It’s really difficult for me to get into the FPS genre. Most of this isn’t actually because I’m bad at First-Person Shooters though. I found a lot of enjoyment with Modern Warfare 2’s online mode, or more specifically I’ve learned that I function better on a team where different members are given different responsibilities, so [...]
