Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Review: When Worlds Collide for the Third Time, Again
Games today can be far too serious. We are usually being asked to save the world, princess, ancient artifact, etc. Sometimes I need a break from being an upstanding video game citizen. Occasionally, I want to be allowed to fight ridiculous people in ridiculous situations. Well, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has all of the [...]
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Special Editions Limit Trolling
When a new studio has been working on a new video game franchise and generally promotes the franchise by touting the names of the producers/directors behind the game for years before unveiling the name of the actual franchise, you can bet that they will try and tap into the fans of that big name team. [...]
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Review: If Michael Bay Started a War
War is hell unless Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games have anything to say about it. From roaring gunfire, explosions on all sides and invigorating cut scenes, players have very little opportunity to rest on their laurels when playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Since it’s release on November 8, gamers have questioned whether the [...]

Capcom announced this week that soon you will be able to buy 8 XBLA games in one nice package as an Xbox 360 exclusive.

That’s right a convenient action pack of 8 downloadable games available at your [...]
Proprietary Gaming Staring Death in the Face?
The 3DS is making a resurgence (or first-surgence depending on who you talk to). The PS Vita is going to release to North America on February 22, 2012, and there are people already claiming how the PS Vita will “die a horrible premature death.” Well, that’s just not good news when you’re launching a new…anything. [...]

Co-op Clash: Gears of War 3 – The Gear Code
It isn’t easy working together as a team. This is especially true when blood-thirsty, bullet hurling, snarling, emulsion-spewing lambent are screaming at the top of their lungs at you while we argue which one should receive the first bullet to the head. Let’s face it. The COG is dead, and all we have is each other. [...]
The Downloads Aren’t Done This Year: Trine 2, Joe Danger XBLA, Stranger’s Wrath

Co-op Clash: Portal 2 Wasn’t Always Perfect
Mention the Portal series to anyone who has played it and you are sure to get a smile. It is a series that is met with adoration and pleasurable memories by its fans. It is a genuinely positive reaction not usually found so widespread amongst jaded adult gamers. However as Portal 2 revealed, the history [...]
Co-op Clash: Dungeon Defenders for Homeland Security
I want to start this article off by thanking Fox News. Up until the day I happened upon their fair and balanced take on journalism, I assumed the world was safe. Sure, the economy is in the crapper and there is a ton of upheaval in the Middle East, but being the Disney-fied and apparently [...]
The 3 Degrees of Gaming Innovation
From flame wars to mega-gaming marathons that would shake lesser gamers at their cores, this holiday season is filled with record-breaking numbers, controversy and gaming (duh). Holiday gaming seasons are no strangers to massive quantities of AAA games along with their cohorts of lesser-known games that become sleeper contenders for games of the year. While [...]
Shiniest Objects: Seriously Stuffed
Let’s just catch our breath everyone. For all intents and purposes the madness is over and thankfully for us in America, that meant we had a shortened holiday week. Sales and review sstole most of the headlines, but there was a bit of a legal battle going on amongst all our gaming. While content was [...]
I Learned Something Today: Halo: Combat Evolved
Some people think that technology has ruined our appreciation for the finer things in life, but maybe those people should take a step back and appreciate the technology they have. Our very survival may depend on it if we are to believe the lessons of Halo: Combat Evolved. The Lessons of Halo: Combat Evolved Alien [...]
Battlefield 3 Review: Don’t Go to War Alone
Electronic Arts came out swinging with some great marketing to highlight the new Frostbite 2 engine behind Battlefield 3 as well as taking shots against that “other shooter.” For the most part, Battlefield 3 delivers on a frantic multiplayer experience complete with explosions, vehicles and intense graphics, but the single player campaign doesn’t quite feel [...]
Dead Island Review: Group Rates Available but Unstable
Dead Island has a long and difficult history for a game with such a short life. It was a game that seemed destined to find itself in the graveyard with thousands of games that just never quite survived the development process. I first heard about Dead Island nearly two years ago and back then the details were a [...]
