Really, Best Buy? THIS Was Necessary?

So, I got a package from Best Buy today and I was shocked to see a rather large box waiting for me on my doorstep, especially since I knew what was in it wasn’t anywhere near big enough to justify it. So I got to thinking, was this big cardboard box and all the plastic […]

My Xbox Live Woes Continue

It’s been nearly two months since my Xbox Live account, The Game21xx, was hacked and suspended. This is not okay. Nearly two months’ worth of the subscription I paid for has gone completely unutilized because Microsoft is taking its sweet time with the investigation of the hacking that took place on my account. Oh, and […]

When Developers Fight, Gamers Lose

It has been rumored for months now but yesterday, in a statement from Turn 10 community manager Brian Ekberg, the rumors were finally confirmed. Forza Motorsport 4 will not feature any vehicles from one of the most prominent and revered automakers, Porsche. Why? Because the Porsche license is wholly owned by EA and they have […]

Jersey GTL Review

If you’ve seen the wildly and perplexingly popular Jersey Shore (I haven’t…and I intend to keep it that way), you’re probably familiar with the “Guido” stereotype that show seems to focus on. The type of guy who spends his time tanning, working out and womanizing on a daily basis. Jersey GTL, which I presume stands […]

Tiny Tower is Evil

It wasn’t long ago when I was lazily browsing the app store on my iPod Touch and found an interesting little game by the name of Tiny Tower. It’s a game that gives players a small building to work with that will steadily become larger as more floors are built, eventually becoming a towering skyscraper. […]

Minecraft Review

This review is based on the beta version 1.4. Many people have asked me, “So, what’s the point of Minecraft?” and then I tell them, “Well, here’s the thing. There is no point.” Some people take that in stride, others can’t comprehend a game not having a goal to work toward. Minecraft is an excellent […]

Crysis 2 PC Multiplayer Demo Footage

I’ve been playing a bit of the Crysis 2 PC multiplayer demo and decided to record a few short clips of myself playing it using FRAPS. I uploaded these clips to YouTube for your viewing pleasure. I’ll have my full impressions of the demo posted sometime in the near future. But for now, enjoy!

Gran Turismo 5 Review

Gran Turismo 5, a game that was long speculated to be vaporware by many people within the gaming community, is finally here. Polyphony Digital’s follow up to 2005’s Gran Turismo 4, released on the PS2 was nearly six years in the making and has seen its fair share of publicity because of it. Expectations were […]

Gran Turismo 5 First Impressions

I can’t believe I’m playing this. After nearly six years of development, Gran Turismo 5 is finally spinning inside my PS3. To be honest, the cynic in me never thought I’d see this day. With each passing year, it seemed like Gran Turismo 5 was less and less likely to ever see the light of […]

Halo 2 Review

Editor’s Note: Halo 2 was released on the Xbox on November 9, 2004. Thus, I will be treating this review as if I am reviewing it in 2004. All comments are made in regards to the standards of that time period, as I don’t believe it is fair to review an older game in comparison […]

Splinter Cell: Conviction Review

For nearly four years, Ubisoft had been hard at work on Splinter Cell: Conviction. Originally unveiled as a very different game from what the Splinter Cell series has represented in games prior, Splinter Cell: Conviction was a very intriguing change to the established Splinter Cell formula, forcing former secret agent Sam Fisher to hide in […]

Snap Judgment – Sins of a Solar Empire

Editor’s Note: This is a new feature I’m starting in which I give judgments on games that I’ve played for only a couple of hours. While this idea may seem similar to first impressions or previews, it’s definitely not. Why? Because I said so. Anyway, a game is meant to grab the player within the […]

Halo: Reach Beta Impressions Part Two

Continuing from the first half of my Halo: Reach beta impressions, I am going to run down the various game modes that were included in the beta as well as give my thoughts on the new maps showcased in the various modes. So, without further delay, check out the rest of my Halo: Reach beta […]

Halo: Reach Beta Impressions Part One

Introduction The Halo: Reach beta has come and gone and now exists in the memory of hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of Halo fans worldwide. I, of course, played quite a bit of the beta and now I’m here to give you my impressions of what I experienced in my time with the game. […]

Perfect Dark XBLA Review

The original Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64 is perhaps my favorite game of all time. I remember fondly playing it with my friends, all of us huddled around a television, the Nintendo 64’s oddly shaped three prong controllers clutched tightly in our hands as we played split-screen deathmatches against each other or against the […]

Splinter Cell: Conviction Demo Impressions

For a long time, I’ve been a fan of the Splinter Cell franchise. I remember opening a copy of Xbox Magazine and playing the exclusive demo for the original Splinter Cell on my Xbox and immediately hating it because I couldn’t run around, guns -a-blazing, like I originally thought. Then, slowly but surely, after many […]

Final Fantasy 13 (PS3) Impressions

Let me start by saying hello world, I’m Skittles McGee. I noticed Game mention he’s the only one who contributes to the site and I was like “‘ey man. Lemme help you with that”. So, for my first contribution, lets talk Final Fantasy XIII. Final Fantasy XIII is the latest entry in the main series, […]

Saints Row 2 Co-Op Mode Review

“This game has a single player mode?” This was a question I jokingly received from my buddy SkittlesMcGee (a soon to be contributor here) while playing Saints Row 2 in co-op as we so often did. So far, I’ve clocked somewhere close to 180 hours in my main Saints Row 2 save game and I’m […]
