I finished Call of Duty 4 last weekend. I never thought I’d be able to since I utterly suck in using analog sticks, but I did. Did I find it easy? Heavens no. How then was a staunch PC gamer able to finish one of the best shooters of 2007 on a console?
At first, I […]

You may be waiting forever for another look at Far Cry 2. The things we’ve seen so far are concept art and spectacular gameplay footage. Ubisoft has just released a new trailer showing off the sequel’s Dunia engine, but it doesn’t do the game justice.

Metroid Prime 3, one of the most awesome shooters of 2007, is finally hitting Japan on March 6th. According to Kotaku, Metroid would be worth ¥6,800, which is roughly $64. That’s a big leap from the $49.99 price tag we’re used to.
Metroid’s journey to Japan has been a long one. It first came out in […]

I spent majority of my time early this week plowing through the PS3 version of Stranglehold and finished it. Of course, I also took the time to play the game’s multiplayer component, so I’m ready for a review.
Is Stranglehold really Max Payne 3 with Chow Yun-Fat? Not really.
You see, Max Payne, particularly its only sequel […]

I am a cheapskate. I’m so cheap I don’t intend to upgrade my current PC ever again. I’m so cheap I’ve resorted to borrowing PS3 games from my neighbor, who is conveniently a fellow PS3 owner. The first game I borrowed? Stranglehold, that John Woo shooter that’s a tribute to Max Payne, which in turn […]

Whether Crysis is really selling well or not, is up for discussion. What’s undeniable is the recent buzz that Crytek’s resource hog game is mentioned in—a console port. Sure, Crytek may huff all they want that the “current-gen” consoles can’t handle Crysis, but you can’t deny that porting them over to the Xbox 360 and […]

Evlmidget25 has a lot of time in his/her hands. So much time that this Halo 3 owner spent quite a while putting together a strange level in Forge designed blow his/her MJOLNIR ass up.
The video isn’t inherently funny. What’s funny is that someone had so much spare time to put this all together. It […]

It’s been over a year now since “next gen” has become current gen. While the Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 3 have been ranked in terms of sales, the debate on which is “best” continues to rage among its…enthusiasts. I’m not going to fall into that trap and set you up for a word war. […]
