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
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 […]

Bejeweled 3: Xbox Live Arcade Game Review
Bejweled is a puzzle sensation that everyone has heard of, with games being able to be played across all platforms as well as practical social networking sites like FaceBook.

Respecting Different Play Styles: Don’t Be a Scrub.
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.
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!
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 […]
