I come from a family of gaming brothers and while it’s fun to play online or talk about the interesting incidents that occurred during a recent play through, it wasn’t always this way. When we were much younger versions of ourselves we had 1-2 consoles to share between the three of us (usually one last gen and one current gen), which meant that a hierarchy of sorts was established in relation to who had “dibs”. We didn’t necessarily fight about [...]
Never judge a book by its cover and never judge a game by the cover art. My initial opinions on Kingdom Hearts were 100% wrong. I thought the game would be corny and only kid friendly. My experiences with Kingdom Hearts have grown into a very tumultuous love affair. Throughout February, Horrible Night will be featuring articles on Gaming Crushes A Love Letter Game Character Fantasies are Dangerous Podcast: Will They or Won’t They? Until You Opened Your Mouth The [...]
I don’t play or buy into the whole Facebook app thing. Frankly, I find them highly annoying and spammy. However, that didn’t stop me from clicking on the WWE All-Star Fantasy Warfare app. The main reason why I did so was to help all the other wrestling fans find out who the free DLC character will be.

I have sold my soul to the devil….. the devil of course being Steve Jobs and his trendy, fruity little company, and my soul being my insistence on staying far away from anything that comes from it. I couldn’t help it. I hardly had a choice! My contract was up, I didn’t want [...]
Winner for the most dry press conference goes to Sony. Overall a very solid show, but it failed to surprise or have a huge impact on the audience. They did detail the release of the PlayStation Move, reveal their PSN subscription program PlayStation Plus, but Kevin Butler stole the show with his inspirational speech to all gamers. Killzone 3 – Kicked off the show with a stunning trailer for the 3D sequel to this solid shooter franchise. One of the most visually [...]
If you never thought you could make a million dollars playing a video game you either: A. Don’t live in Korea or B. Didn’t pitch a perfect game in MLB 2K10.
