In case you couldn’t tell by now, I’m a huge Sam and Max fan. Telltale Games has been doing a fantastic job of keeping the humor and fun of the original game intact with their episodic series, and if Ice Station Santa (review here) is any indication of the quality of the rest of the … Continue reading

Whole bunch of Wii titles this week, and that’s it! Guess some kiddies still have Christmas cash to spend. Or don’t, considering all these titles are budget games and hit for around 20 bucks. Nothing too exciting, of course… but since Xbox Live’s being all spotty, maybe you’ve got nothing else to do. As if … Continue reading

Sometimes it amazes me that some companies allow demos to be made of their games, especially for the current line of consoles. When practically the entire userbase can download a sample of the game, you’d think that if you didn’t have anything special to show off you’d keep it hidden from people. Case in point, … Continue reading

Well, it looks like this column covering weekly video game releases (that only kicked off last week!) has already hit a wall. See, there are no games coming out this week. None. The fat old man with boots of black has scared off all the releases, and you’re all probably too broke to buy anything … Continue reading
I’m back. I was going to explain where I was all this time, but it’d involve me explaining the practicalities of the legal system and frankly, no one gives a shit. Instead let’s go with “sorry, I was at a Gamespot protest and lost my plane ticket home.” By the way, Manhunt 2 rocks! Here’s … Continue reading
Rock Band hit a major snag when it was released for the PS3. The major selling point of the game, the 4-player band mode, was not playable… unless you knew someone else who bought the 170 buck bundle. See, the set only comes with one guitar, one drum set and one mic. The game’s developer … Continue reading
We’ve all been looking forward to a Sin City game, ever since the comic was released. The style would work beautifully for a game and they wouldn’t even have to change much. Hell, just controlling Marv on a black and white rampage of destruction would be fun. A game was announced back in May, but … Continue reading
