So we all know that Gameloft is now bringing out 2-3 games a month for iPhone and that quite a few of them are quite impressive.  As a player of pretty much all things that are strategy games the one coming up next week has really gotten my interest.  Rogue Planet seems to have a [...]

If you’ve been reading the blog or listening to my podcasts over the last few years you would have me gush on the newest puzzle game I’m playing. From Tetris to Bejeweled to Peggle, I’ve played them all and am always eager to play the new kid on the block. When I heard that Chillingo [...]

Street Fighter IV, First Impressions [360]

3. March 2009

I’ve been playing Street Fighter since Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike came out back on the original Xbox.  Ever since that spending-spree in Gamestop, I was addicted to fighting games.  Since then, however, I’ve never found a fighting game that really delivered.  Well, let me tell you… Street Fighter IV really delivers in fireballs and [...]

New Xbox Experience Hands-On Preview

16. November 2008

On the hardware end of things, the Xbox 360 has seen more than its share of troubles, whether it’s the red ring of death, a lack of integrated wi-fi, or even a standard hard drive. But when it comes to software, Microsoft clearly gets it. A few years ago, the PSN was an unproven (albeit free) [...]

22. October 2008

The first James Bond game was released a quarter century ago.  James Bond 007 was a 1983 side-scroller developed and published by Parker Bros for Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Commodore 64, and ColecoVision. We’ve come a long way since then.  Bond’s next-generation debut, Quantum of Solace for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, is mere weeks [...]

E for All: Gears of War 2 Multiplayer Hands On

5. October 2008

Last year’s E for All Expo was a depressing event, but at least it had Metal Gear Solid 4 and Super Mario Galaxy to help cut through the obscure sci-fi convention vibe. This year, Nintendo decided to stay home and Sony continued to want nothing to do with the show, so it was up to [...]

Defense Grid, Previewed [PC]

29. September 2008

“Keep playing” was the response I received from Hidden Path Entertainment’s CEO, Jeff Pobst, when I questioned the apparent lack of difficulty in Defense Grid: The Awakening. Hidden Path’s upcoming PC (and later, Xbox Live Arcade) tower-defense title had seemed a little easy up until this exact moment — and as if on cue, a [...]

Fallout 3, Previewed

13. September 2008

1 Comment

Hidden somewhere under appropriately post-apocalyptic shades of grey and brown, there’s a deep Role Playing Game in Fallout 3.  Somewhere. Granted, it’s hard to demonstrate the intricacies of a naturally long game in such a lamentably short period of time, I’m confident that somewhere, somehow, Bethesda has the ingredients for next great blockbuster western RPG. So [...]

PAX 08: Saints Row 2 Hands On

13. September 2008

6 Comments

If there’s one game with a lot to prove this holiday, it’s Saints Row 2.  The original Saints Row was widely accepted as a quality title — even branded  by some in its pre-release hype as a “GTA-killer” –- but pop it in your disc drive now, a year or two after  the wake [...]

Sex Drive is a new film directed by Sean Anders and written by John Morris and Anders.  It is out later this year and it is going to be a smash it.  That’s right I’m calling it.  It will be a hit much like Superbad.  The plot of Sex Drive is Ian, played by Josh [...]
