With the PSN still down, it was suddenly much easier to get Keri, Chris, Ross and Blake together for a podcast.  As you can imagine the PSN downtime was a prominent topic of discussion, along with Redbox starting game rentals and bad 3DS game designs. Once again iterating on the PSN biting the dust topic,...

Welcome back to another edition of my odd and weird musings on a life involved with gaming, movies, comics, and whatnot! Thanks for taking the time to read the words of a 14th level Geek. Game Time: Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood (Xbox 360) After the 100% completion of Assassin’s Creed 2 (AC2), I...

Angry Birds may be on every damn device just shy of your toaster, but there is only so much cuteness one can handle during their gaming sessions. Appy Entertainment realized this and swapped the birds and pigs for machismo infused trucks and some fiendishly attractive skulls. However, is there enough here...

I’m an old school Sonic fan. I’m not ashamed to admit it. Sonic the Hedgehog – in his original Naoto Oshima Genesis-era design – is one of the greatest designed characters of all time, who also happened to be the star player of some brilliantly constructed 2D sidescrollers. As a character,...

When the original Puzzle Quest appeared on the scene, no one could have predicted the surprising popularity of the puzzle RPG genre. Now, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is the latest pretender to the throne, bringing with it some deep and strategic gameplay. Game: Might & Magic: Clash of...

Finish Him. In 1992, that simple phrase helped revitalize an aging American arcade industry, extend the competitive arcade fighting scene, and singlehandedy manage to get politicians interested (and concerned) about video games and their effect on children. Yes, I’m talking about Mortal Kombat;...

Darkspore is the latest game from Maxis Software, the developer powerhouse behind Sim City, The Sims, and Spore. An Action-RPG may seem like a strange genre leap for Maxis, but once you see the game, it will make sense. Think of it as a cross between Diablo and Spore, with a hint of Pokemon for good...

It would appear that Twitter is not the only place where the 3DS collects dust, as the results from last week poll show a large portion of you have a new dust collecting paperweight. I only hope that the third party support kicks up over the next few months and we see some great games dropping, but until...
