STOP REPLYING: Soul Calibur V Ads Find Their Audience
In what started out as an innocent email conversation of one man looking for sparring partners in Soul Calibur V quickly devolved into a sarcastic and chauvinistic display of what may actually be the game’s target audience. Well, at least according to the marketing team behind the recent ads for the game in Japan. Disclaimer: While this [...]

Sometimes the world isn’t fair. There are things that happen that can’t be controlled.

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Review: These Old Bones
The latest installment of the Assassin’s Creed franchise takes you on a journey in which Ezio Auditore’s story is ending. He’s much older and somewhat “retired.” Yet, in Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, he will find himself in one more adventure and a race against time. What about Desmond Miles? He’s been the “puppet master” in the Animus as [...]

Gaming Regrets: It Took Zombies to Make Friends
Years ago, the name H21 was not a household name. As a matter of fact, it still isn’t. The point is not that I’m not famous (though I should be); the point is that beyond a few friends and my family, my H21 gamertag was unknown and nowhere to be found. I have been playing [...]
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Demo Impressions: A Familiar Challenger Appears
The role playing game genre has never been more popular than it is right now. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has sold 10 million copies. Mass Effect 3 is coming out in March. Those two series are arguably the two most popular RPG franchises ever made. It’s going to be hard to find a place [...]
NFL Blitz Reflex Review: A Safety is Not a Touchdown
Hey, NFL Blitz is back! That is a factual exclamation. Licensed arcade football is something I’ve been missing since my Nintendo 64 and arcade days (PS2 and “The League” versions be damned). Needless to say I was thrilled when the rumors started churning that EA was going to push out a new NFL Blitz on [...]

Battlefield 3 Takes Action Against Cheaters
Justice is a dish best served cold, but is that dish cold because it was intended to be cold or just cold because it got served a bit late? That is the question going through many Battlefield 3 players heads as the rampant cheating associated with the PC version of the game has made it difficult [...]
Gaming Regrets: Not Playing Rage is Not an Option
I found myself dealing with a conundrum this past holiday season that only obsessive gamers with steady cash flow and extremely generous relatives ever have to deal with; I didn’t know what game to play. I know, first world problems, etc, etc. Don’t worry, I’m not emotionally unstable as a result, so save the STFU [...]
Kid and Play: Fruit Ninja Kinect (Slice)
On Christmas Day, my wife presented me with an unexpected gift: Kinect. While it’s been out for some time, and many “hardcore” gamers loathe it entirely, I had it on my list, but because budgets usually come into play, I really didn’t suspect I’d be getting the device. I thought the Kinect, with two young [...]
