Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain for the Playstation 3 is a title that tends to have a polarizing effect on gamers. Love it or hate it, it has generated a lot of discussion. Some deride it as a waste of time–a game that holds your hands with a long cutscene advanced by button presses. Others consider [...]

In some video games there comes a time where you know that you are going to be in it for the long haul. No other game will be played until this one is done. No TV. No Internet. Nothing.

Flakwolf – Stop getting ripped off.
December 2nd, 2009 · 5 Comments · Reviews
A while back, I was contacted by the owner of Flakwolf, a new site looking to make a name for themselves in the online game trading business.

+800 Microsoft Points
October 14th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Gaming, Reviews
Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade has come and gone. A couple of weeks ago I got a message from LIVE letting my know that 800 points had been credited to my account. This made me look back at the 5200 points I spent to get this rebate.

Rip-Off Warning: Not much danger [...]

2 Minute Review: Shadow Complex
August 26th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Gaming, Reviews
In my opinion these kinds of retro-retreads are unnecessary since technology has since advanced enough that we can move beyond the old “side scroller”. There is a reason the Metroid series went first person. The only reason why I’m reviewing this game is because I downloaded the demo just to see what all the fuss was about.
Then something miraculous happened.
