Many of you may remember an old game called Splatterhouse. It was a side scrolling brawler for the arcades, and later the Sega Genesis, that caused one of the first controversies over video game violence ever. You played as a muscle-bound bruiser named Rick that smashed his way through level after level of horrid Lovecraftian [...]

Tales of Innocence is a game I wasn’t even supposed to play. Hell, I wasn’t sure it even existed. Sure, I have been a big fan of the Tales series of JRPGs ever since Tales of Phantasia, but Bandai Namco seems to be very choosy about which ones make it here to the states. Tales [...]

I have to hand it to Atlus and the Megaten team, they sure know how to make a good game. I first bought Persona 3 way back in 2007 when I heard about it through the grapevine of controversy over the sight of teenagers shooting themselves in the head to summon demons. Then, not more [...]

TRON: Evolution is Disney’s attempt to make a game that is true to the TRON universe. I’ll tell you this right now: they succeeded. In terms of story I can’t complain about TRON: Evolution. I’m a massive TRON fanboy and the story pretty much pleased me, so kudos Disney, your story delivered an authentic Tron [...]

Spelunker … wow. Do any of you even remember Spelunker? I do, because it was one of those strange games for the NES that I got from a relative one Christmas who had no concept of what video games were, or which ones were good. That’s not to say Spelunker was bad. It was just [...]

A lot of you might be asking why I am reviewing Disney: Epic Mickey when our shtick seems to be balls-to-the-wall hardcore action games. Well SHUT UP that’s why! In all seriousness, the reason why I am reviewing Epic Mickey on an action devoted website is because Epic Mickey is, at its core, an action [...]

Stop the presses! I have found the single best game to come out this year. It’s for the DS, and its name is 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors. This game is advertised as a psychological thriller, and it did exactly what it was advertised to do. It engaged me in a deep story, [...]

Nintendo is experiencing something of a 2D renaissance right now. They were one of the first mainstream developers to realize that games with 3D graphics do not necessarily have to have 3D gameplay. As a result, we got awesome games like New Super Mario Brothers Wii, Kirby’s Epic Yarn, and now Donkey Kong Country Returns. [...]

I recently reviewed Call of Duty: Black Ops for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, and all things said and done, it was a decent first person shooter. However, I can’t really wrap the Wii version up into that review, because the game was changed drastically in parts just to be compliant with the Wii’s [...]

Recently, I applauded Sonic Colors for being “a 3-D Sonic game that didn’t suck” and I am sticking to that review. However, after finishing Sonic Colors on the Wii, I felt myself jonesing for more speed-based gameplay, so I picked up a copy of Sonic Colors on the DS. Though the game shares the same [...]

REJOICE EVERYONE! THE SONIC CYCLE IS BROKEN! SEGA HAS MADE A 3D SONIC GAME THAT DOESN’T TOTALLY SUCK! BUST OUT THE CHAMPAGNE!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!! Alright, now that I have that out of my system, let’s talk about Sonic Colors, which is possibly the best 3D Sonic game to come out since … well ever. It’s not [...]

Welcome to another Call of Duty review by a man who neither likes the Call of Duty franchise or first person shooters in general. This time around we are tackling Call of Duty: Black Ops, Treyarch’s attempt to keep the franchise going at top speed after the monstrous momentum boost it got from Modern Warfare [...]

Sonic Riders has never been that popular of a game franchise. In fact, every iteration of Sonic Riders has been so bad, I have no idea how the series keeps getting new installments. Enter Sonic Free Riders, the newest entry in the Sonic Riders series. In this iteration, Sega’s developers have actually listened to fans, [...]

Alright, let me first start by saying that I don’t actually own a Kinect. In fact, my room is far too small for a Kinect to work. Screw that, my LIVING ROOM is far too small for a Kinect to work. So I had to find my way to a local Kinect release party in [...]

Everyone pack up your valuables, hide the children, get into your safe rooms, the apocalypse is coming, Sega made a Sonic game that doesn’t suck! You have no idea how surprised I was when I first downloaded Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1. I was fully expecting another major Sonic flop, but color me stupefied. [...]
