Salem and Rios are back and this time the platonic pair find themselves stuck in Shanghai when the proverbial crap has hit the fan. The entire city crumbles around the duo and the simple goal of getting out of dodge quickly spirals into large scale fire fights and unexpected moral dilemma's. Rios or Salem, the choice is yours. Just make sure after you pick one, you find a friend to pick the oth... more.

You know, I was not really interested in Brutal Legend at first. Granted, Tim Schafer is a brilliant game designer, having made games the defy genres and are considered among the best made, even if they did not sell well. It's just that I am not a fan of Jack Black. Sure, he can be funny when he is reigned in, but he often is not, and I figured with the game being M Rated, he would be allowed to r... more.

I first saw WET when it was announced a while back and I wasn't very impressed. I thought it was a joke and I was positive it would be a flop or not even get published. Well, the day has come and WET has been released into the wild and boy did it exceed my expectations by far. WET reminds me a lot of Stranglehold, the emphasis is on slo-mo and acrobatic kills. Basically you do certain actions l... more.

Best Buy is having a sale on PS3 games. What was first thought to be a rumor, is now true. The sale is this, when you buy one PS3 game, you get the second half off. The catch is that you have to get qualifying games. However, there are over 100 games on the list so I am sure that you can find one you want. So for all you PS3 gamers out there, go to Best Buy and pick up some games you have been wan... more.

First, let’s get this out of the way.  Batman: Arkham Asylum is an exceptional game worth the price of admission.  Your wait for a game that actually makes you feel like the Dark Night himself is over.  Doing my best to keep you hidden from spoilers, your trek through Arkham Asylum will have you swinging, sneaking, destroying, bludgeoning and detectiving (wait is that even a word) until the v... more.

Some games are just addicting in a way that really defies explanation. Tetris was that type of game. All we actually did in this game was complete lines, and yet we played it for hours on end. If you think about it, there are probably several different games you could list in this category. Just think of those games you go back to time and time again and yet really cannot explain just what draws y... more.

So we are into the final week of this series. Have you noticed that I have been taking the time to review all the the games in my top ten? If you have, then the fact I am reviewing Marvel VS Capcom 2 should come as no surprise. Since the 360 and PS3 version just came out, I think it makes more sense to review that one then the old Dreamcast version, even though it is based on that model. It may... more.

So week two of the 30 Reviews in 30 Days feature is now behind us. This is the half-way point: after today's reviews, I will have written half of the reviews I will end up writing for this feature. Before I get to a review I have been needing to write for a long time, let's take a quick look of last weeks games: Monday: Following my feature review of Damnation, I reviewed one of the most uniqu... more.

When the first videos for Mirror's Edge debuted, I remember being really impressed. Visually, it was a stunning game, with a realism that was just awe inspiring. As more came out about the game, I found myself getting more excited to step into the role of Faith in this not so distant future where runners are used to carry important messages in order to bypass a corrupt police state. The game seeme... more.

Fat Princess comes to us from Titan Studios, makers of...Fat Princess. The emphasis of FP is multiplayer. While there is a single-player campaign. It feels more like a tutorial than anything else. There are 4 modes: Rescue the Princess, Snatch N' Grab, Team Deathmatch, and Invasion. Rescue the Princess has to be the most popular of the group as I would say it's what the game is built around. Ea... more.

I knew I was going to be reviewing this game eventually. Truth is I've been kind of avoiding it. It's not that I hated FEAR 2: Project Origin. Far from it. It was overall an enjoyable game, but the end left such a bad taste in my mouth that I have not been sure how to approach reviewing it. In the end, I decided to just kind of try to explain how you can both love and hate a game at the same time.... more.

The LittleBigPlanet: Game of The Year edition is slated to be released for later this year and is supposed to add more value at a lower price. The cover states that it will feature over $30 worth of content. However, no one knows exactly what the content will be and the Amazon listing doesn't mention either. The release date is also not stated. So for now, we will have to speculate what the conten... more.

Now some of you are probably considering this a cop out. After all , Rock Band 2 is not exactly a new game; it came out last year, and it was the sequel to a game that came out the year before. Well, I don't really care if you think it is a cop out. It's one of my top 10 games of all time, and in my opinion it may be the best party game of all time. As such, it is a perfect candidate for review in... more.

You know that rumor about a downloadable version of Marvel VS Capcom 2 we posted about a little while back? Well....it's not longer a rumor. Capcom announced the return of the celebrated brawler last week. The new version will feature a filter for the graphics, online play and all the characters unlocked from the start. That's right, all 56 characters from he two universes will be available fro... more.

Bethesda has just announced the next game in the Fallout 3 universe: Fallout New Vegas. According to Pete Hines of Bethesda, the game will not be a sequel to Fallout 3 but a new game that takes place in the same universe, just in Las Vegas this time. Not much else was revealed at the company's London press conference. The game is due next year for the 360, PC and PS3. Looks like a lot of us ... more.

Capcom announced today that shortly after the games release ( Friday March 13, 2009 ) mutliplayer DLC is on the horizon.  The 2 modes entitled Slayer and Survival will support 4 players and set you back 400 MS points or $3.99 on the Playstation Network.  Slayer pins you and up to 3 others against the Majinis, in a points based competition.  Survival is an every man for himself versus battle.  ... more.

Codemasters gives word that Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising will now be known as Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, sans the 2.  Along with the name change a new video was released, giving an inside look at EGO Technology, touting the ability to take advantage of the multi-core aspects on consoles and PC's.  Realistic military shooter fans should have a short wait on their hands as Drago... more.

The Top 5 Things The PS3 Needs to Do Well I gave Sony there day in court and proved irrefutably, with my Top 5 Reasons to own a PS3, why if you don't own a PS3 by now you're a dork (give or take). Okay "irrefutably" and "dork" might be a little strong. Never the less, I believe there are some very compelling reasons to own the system and hope I have demonstrated if nothing else why you sho... more.

Capcom takes game immersion to the next level.  The "My Fist Your Face" campaign allows you to upload a mug shot of your choosing (in my case give Chun-Li a case of the uglies) and then apply it to in-game video.  Is Guile sandbagging or shocked by Chun-Li's strange metamorphosis, you decide. My Fist Your Face ... more.

EA will be serving up a G.I. Joe video game along side it's theatrical release this August.  It appears we will be getting a Marvel Ultimate Alliance style action game on every console imaginable.   The "first look" is promised to hit the Toy Fair in New York City on February 15-17, 2009.  Let's hope EA can provide a worthwhile game to Hasbro's iconic franchise. REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Februar... more.
