So Danger Close has announced a sequel to their failed attempt (based on the fans) of a reboot of the Medal of Honor franchise. The announcement came along with a quote of the numbers sold by the original – somewhere around 5 million copies. Wait what? 5 milli… whew maybe I need to stop writing and start developing a First Person Shooter. The news angered gamers, especially fans of Mirror’s Edge, who felt that the run and jump parkour... 

Boxing has been one of my favorite sports up until recent times. It seems that “real life” boxing has lost its heart over the years but thankfully EA Sports has blessed us with the Fight Night series. Through Fight Night we get to relive the glory days of the gladiatorial pugilists of old in the squared circle. I’ve enjoyed all of its predecessors over the years and cannot wait for the release of their next installment, which is Fight Night... 

I’ve recently had the opportunity to check the multiplayer open beta for Killzone 3 and like any shooter out there it’s your standard affair of capture the flag, death match, etc. If you play FPS games then Sony’s Dual-Shock Six-Axis controller should be familiar ground for you when moving around gunning and dodging in these games. So what does Killzone 3 do differently you ask? The answer is simple:  Playstation Move! A lot of skepticism... 

Rockstar Games is widely known for its controversial series Grand Theft Auto and more recently Red Dead Redemption. But before either of these games stepped into the limelight on current generation systems, Team Bondi announced a new open world crime drama titled L.A. Noire. Set in time period of the late 1940’s, L.A. Noire is reminiscent of old classic film noir where speakeasy clubs, jazz music, and soft black & white films were abundant. The... 

Bioware has done it again with a fantastic trailer to win over the haters and doubters to their upcoming MMORPG The Old Republic, the follow-up to their award-winning series Knights of The Old Republic. this trailer shows the trooper class in a most glorious way, tough as nails no fear of the Sith and willing to give their life for the cause. I am digging the way Bioware makes each class relevant within these trailers in order to garner interest to... 

Good news fellow Mass Effect addicts, it seems that we will finally be shifting from “bored in space” enhancements (sorry Kasumi this means you too hon) to some actual Mass Effect 2.5 DLC. A real expansion would be nice, and I don’t mean some alternate crap like my beloved Dragon Age Origins sold us. BioWare’s Casey Hudson: “We have a bunch of packs that are in the works right now… So, for the time being there’s... 

The legend of Starcraft is back with Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty. For a hardcore SC fan like me, who still played the 1998 version until 2009, this is a momentous occasion indeed. There was something that made the original stand out among other real-time strategy games. In its prime it was compared to games like Command and Conquer and Total Annihilation. This comparison was kinda like comparing the iphone to comparable phones: Yeah they have perks,... 

Now isn’t this sexy, Lara Croft with a buddy running, gunning and dodging in a full on Diablo-esque  adventure with a birds-eye view. Many of you may dislike it but hold your nerd-rage for a bit, this is simply a DLC coming to X-Box Live and PSN. I for one look forward to playing it, being the fan that I am and loving this type of gameplay. Be on the lookout for Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light coming to your game system soon!  Read More →

So in preparation for Phil Fest, Shinzo Shoryuken and Greg Dragon squared off a couple nights in an attempt to de-rust their mains and alts in order to become competitive once again. The rust fell away pretty quickly and aside from some memory issues with timing and a bit of frustration with some other characters (Viper, Ehonda and Balrog) that they forgot how to play, it was a good match up that led to some anticipation for the new Street... 

After kicking off the new year there really wasn’t anything out there to look forward to. But rolling into February I was delighted to know that Quantic Dream announced that a playable demo was available for the psychological thriller Heavy Rain. It tells of the story of the psychotic “Origami killer” that seems to hunt children as his prey only to leave behind an Origami piece in their hands. You play as four main characters that live out this...
