Like We Need More Great Looking Games, Giant Bomb Shows us Blur

The last thing we need this year is more games that look excellent. I’ve mentioned Blur a few times before, and how I thought it had serious potential, now Giant Bomb has been able to visit Bizarre Creations and show us more of the game than we’ve seen before. I’m gonna be so poor by [...]

Test Drive Unlimited 2 Announced

It’s been a hell of a week. First someone stole my GamerTag (Yup, I’m not Silence, for now, Microsoft is investigating), so I can’t play Xbox. My copy of Battlefield Bad Company 2 arrived from Amazon looking like it was used by the UPS driver to soften his hard seat (to Amazon’s credit they are [...]

New Splinter Cell: Conviction Trailer

This is one hell of a scary year for games, and gamers wallets. The amount of high profile games that are being released in 2010 is simply staggering. The first quarter is like most year’s forth.

Dice Shows us some Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Maybe it’s because I really don’t think there’s ever been a game where Etta and I could so dominate and control the fate of 24 player matches so effortlessly, but I can remember games were [...]

A Preview of Realtime Worlds Upcoming MMO: APB

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who absolutely loved Crackdown, despite how short it was, and those who seem to think no one can make an open-world sandbox style game except Rockstar. Personally, I loved every second of Crackdown. Realtime Worlds follow-up looks like basically a multiplayer only version of GTA [...]

Too Human Review (Xbox 360)

It’s become obvious to me recently that I will almost never buy a game for $60 again. It’s a lot of investment for something you can’t be sure about in most cases, and it’s going to become a problem for the Video Game Industry, an industry already built on the success of mega hits like [...]

Splinter Cell: Conviction Xbox 360 Exclusive, Badass

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a big Splinter Cell fan, particularly the Ubisoft Montreal developed 1st and 3rd games in the series. Montreal has had quite a bit of time to work on Conviction and even [...]

Microsoft showed quite a bit of expected and unexpected things at their E3 Press Conference today, but if there is one thing that will get people talking, it’s Project Natal. This is the kind of thing that, if it works, could change the game in a lot of ways. Of course in the likely event [...]
