When Heavy Rain was first introduced it was talked about as revolutionizing the way video games are structured, creating a more interactive experience rather than just an empty button masher. After playing it I can say that they achieved the majority of what they set out to do, and though I wouldn’t go as far […]
Read more "Gaming Review – Heavy Rain (PS3 exclusive)"A few years ago BioWare opened my eyes to what RPGs could really be like with the first Mass Effect, a game that wasn’t hard to love. It created a massive universe with humans as the babies of the species still needing to prove themselves among a broad group of alien races that were all […]

Read more "Q&A Review – Mass Effect 2"Side note – Because I am so popular… Okay, because I have one other friend that has this game, I have yet to just play it by myself so everything I say is in response to the co-op campaign mode of the game.

Read more "Gaming Review – Gears of War"Assassin’s Creed 2 improves greatly on the first game of the series (which was solid on its own, repetition and all), proving that listening to an audience’s complaints can be more than beneficial.

Uncharted 2 opens with our favorite treasure hunter, Nathan Drake, bleeding from the gut while taking an unintentional nap in a train car threatening to fall off the edge […]
Read more "Gaming Review – Uncharted 2: Among Thieves"Wanted: Weapons of Fate does little more to expand on a film-based game, and suffers greatly because of it.

Read more "Gaming Review – Prototype"(Originally written June 1, 2009) Talk about an ending… With a lot of games today the gameplay is all that seems to matter, with a story often tacked on without being smoothed out.
