2011 was a much better year for me than 2010. I learned how to use Twitter, I got to go to PAX, there were a crap-load of really great games and I met my future wife. (Author’s Note: that list was not arranged in any particular order of importance like the one below, for the record). I also learned that while some games can make phoenix-like returns to awesomeness after a decade, other games should just stay dead. I learned that [...]

Each day this week, I will be revisiting A Call to Gamers 1st 24 Hour Charity Gaming Challenge (24HCGC) for Child’s Play through our video highlights currently available on our Twitch.tv channel.

The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile Reflex Review with Video Preview

With 4 hours remaining in the A Call To Gamers 24 Hour Charity Gaming Challenge, my final challenge was to play through Ska Studios‘ latest title, The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, from start to finish. I knew that it was possible to make it through one of the story modes in under 4 hours, but I had no idea how good you had to be in order to achieve a time like that. The challenge for me was based from the history [...]

Everyone comes across a game at some point that you just absolutely love and keep coming back to. But, it’s so excruciatingly difficult that in the end it’s just going to beat you down repeatedly until you find yourself bashing your head against the wall.
