Battlefield 3: Xbox 360 Console Game Review

by | October 28th, 2011 |

Battlefield 3 is what EA/DICE promises will change the face of shooters forever.  Huge maps and insane vehicular warfare all running on its new “Frostbite 2” engine. As a result of all the awards it was winning and all the footage showed, I was excited.  I soon played the “beta” on Xbox 360 and hopes […]

Real Steel: Xbox Live Arcade Game Review

by | October 22nd, 2011 |

Real Steel was a very awesome movie.  I’m not one to see movies much, but the trailers caught my interest.  After watching it I fell in love, especially because I love boxing (the anime “Hajime no Ippo” helped tremendously).  I was hyped as soon as I found out there would be an XBLA game. Getting […]

Respecting Different Play Styles: Don’t Be a Scrub.

by | October 9th, 2011 |

Far too many times in gaming have I seen people complain about how their opponent plays.  Not that they are using an insanely overpowered character (Broken), using a mod to exploit the game, or even a known problem the developers missed  and will update to fix (Universally accepted  broken glitches); they choose to complain solely […]

Sawed-Off Shotgun: Entirely too noob friendly.

by | October 7th, 2011 |

With the final iteration of Gears of War (at least within the main series) Gears 3 wanted to help new players to the series not feel overwhelmed by the wall-bouncing Gnasher shotgun experts that have honed their skills in the last two games.  However, did Epic go too far? In this article, I want to […]

Street Fighter X TEKKEN: Let the Hype Begin!

by | April 20th, 2011 |

When it was first announced that we would have Street Fighter X TEKKEN, and TEKKEN X Street Fighter, I was a bit skeptical on how things would play out.  CAPCOM and NAMCO are both respectable companies, and both reign over their own fighting-game environment.  But how exactly would a 2D and 3D game clash on […]
