Hey everyone.  Today I want to take a step back from some of the recent new releases and touch on an independent title making a lot of noise all over the gaming world.  Braid is a puzzle/platformer created by Jonathan Blow, originally released on Xbox Live and recently on the PC and Mac.  Currently you [...]

Final Fantasy IV (or 2 for the Super Nintendo) really brings me back to my childhood.  This is the first real role-playing game that got me hooked.  The graphics and music were great, the story was intriguing, and the game was pretty tough.  Well June 1st Square Enix released what was to be the sequel [...]

GhostBusters is one of my all time favorite movies.  It had it all, comedy, monsters, explosions, Proton Packs!  Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to be a full-fledged Ghost Buster.  Hell, I’ve even dressed as them the past few years for Haloween.  Well now I finally get my shot at it!  It’s [...]

For the first time ever, Lucas Arts brings you the entire Star Wars story from start to finish in a single game. Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga encompasses the exact story from Star Wars episodes 1-6. Unlike the many other Star Wars games over the years that take place as prequels, sequels or side [...]

Overlord was one of the most highly underrated and unknown titles to most gamers in 2007. You got to play as the bad guy, reigning destruction on the world by burning down towns with your minions, killing the villagers, taking yourself a mistress and even having a few laughs along the way. It’s not too [...]

Hey everyone; Today I’m going to jump right into one of my favorite gaming genres, the Japanese RPG. Being a fan of RPGs since the first Final Fantasy on the Nintendo, I’ve seen my fair share of them over time. RPGs have tried new things to try to make their title a little different from [...]

Lucasarts has given us more Star Wars games than I’m even familiar with on more consoles than I can count on my fingers. Some of these games follow the movies and some of them take place along different timelines and with different characters. We’ve been given star fighting battles, Lego adventures and tons of light [...]

Mario is the quintessential title character from gaming consoles of the past and present. Starring in 2d platformers and side-scrollers, Mario has seen his fair share of action over the years stomping goombas and koopa troopas and tracking down the vile Bowser. Mario continued his journeys into the 3d realm with Super Mario 64 for [...]

“The Legend of Zelda” is a phrase synonymous with excellence in the world of gaming.  It has been with us since the early years and each iteration provides us with hours upon hours of great sword-slashing entertainment.  Twilight Princess is the 13th Legend of Zelda game to hit the market as one of the first [...]

Hey everyone.  The Sims 3 just came out today and I was really excited to pick it up and give it a shot.  I’ve only had a chance to play the first 8 hours of the game but I’d like to show you what I was able to get accomplished.  This is my first Sims [...]

Raven Software, you’ve given some GEMS over the years.  Heretic 2?  Quake 4?  Jedi Outcast?  Hell yea!  You’ve also tackled a few X-men games and Marvel Ultimate Alliance.  Alright, you’ve got a pretty impressive resume.  I see you can handle super hero games, but lets not forget the overwhelming number of terrible video games made [...]
