The Last Story
September 13th, 2012 gunsage It should be noted that this is not the pre-order kit. There is actually quite a lot of swag for pre-ordering. General Overview An action RPG that has semi-real time strategy elements, close and long-range combat, lots of optional side missions, and even stealth gameplay? Surely, there’s got to be something wrong with it. That’s [...]
Down On The Bot Farm
February 7th, 2012 Bruce McGee Uh oh looks like someone is screwing with the app store. According to this news post from Joystiq. People are employing a bot service to alter game rankings. First off, I’m surprised we don’t hear about this more than we do. iTunes and the app store are a crowded market to break into. As someone [...]

AIW Absolution 6 Review
October 2nd, 2011 daddyof1 This was my first time to watch an AIW show. I started out being very intrigued by all the promos at the beginning.

Mortal Kombat 9
August 25th, 2011 sugarraydodge Hey friends. If you are like me, you love yourself some Mortal Kombat action. I myself own a Wii, so I haven’t been able to participate in this year’s revival of that klassic (with a k, get it?!) experience. HOWEVER! I have seen the story mode on YouTube and it is FANTASTIC.

Pottermore
August 4th, 2011 Glasenator So I don’t know if you guys ever read any of the Harry Potter series, but for my generation it’s sort of a big deal. I literally grew up with J.K. Rowling’s novels. The first one came out when I was only 6, before I could even read well; so my mom would read a [...]

Skyrim – Teaching Us How Frail And Weak We Are Through Gaming
When you play an RPG, you’re constantly told that you’re the chosen one, but still made to feel weak, even though you have incredible powers. It’s a constant contradiction. Look, in the Breath of Fire games, you can change into A FUCKING DRAGON, but often there are forces far more powerful than you and your [...]
