Too Much Awesome

I don’t think I’ve ever had the chance until now to point this out, but I’m a huge fan of the Fight Night series ever since Fight Night Round 3 drug me into the ring and forcibly taught me the sweet science, me kicking and screaming the whole way. EA is releasing the newest edition [...]

Hi there. Is this the final straw? Are you tired of games like Killzone and Call of Duty taking themselves too seriously? Do you want to play a game so over-the-top that you can brag about it? Wouldn’t you rather tear out your brain stem, run with it all the way to the nearest four-way [...]

It’s been a long time coming, but Capcom is back with a proper follow-up to its hit arcade series, Marvel vs Capcom. MvC 2 is one of my favorite and most-played games on my PS2, but now Marvel vs Capcom 3 is out and taking a whole new group of players for a ride. So, [...]

I don’t think it’s really easy to classify a game as a “Survival Horror” title anymore. Games too often take the “Action Horror” route, meaning that instead of scares you find yourself just mowing through enemies at breakneck speed while laughing and thinking marginally racist thoughts (maybe that’s just Resident Evil 5?). Not Dead Space [...]

Why haven’t I Thought Deep for a while? I’m not really sure. I might as well fix that by diving into a topic I’ve mentioned before: Fanboyism (or Fangirlism, but it’s easier to write “fanboy,” so just replace the gender pronouns to enjoy the article more if that’d otherwise be a deal-breaker). What makes someone [...]

This November, Game Informer Magazine released a cover story for their 212th issue that resulted in both positive and negative reception. It was a story that took 30 video game characters created over the last decade, and declared them as the ones who defined the video game community with the leaps and bounds we have [...]

Sony and Nintendo already had their moment in the spotlight; now it’s Microsoft’s turn to step forward and accept their yearly judgment. A lot, and I mean a LOT of great games were released for the Xbox 360 this year, but so was a lot of crap. Want to know what we thought was good [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m in sort of a corner here. I wasn’t shy to the concept of writing slander about Fable II no more than a few weeks ago, mostly because I played it to completion. Fable III, however, is a game that I’m told is roughly identical to its predecessor, though things have been simplified even further [...]
