Community Question of the Week: What game has the best audio package?

Tweet Last week we had a poll asking what people thought was the most import aspect of game design. Nearly every area received a vote, except one. For some reason, audio was not that important.

A Second Opinion: Mortal Kombat (PS3)

A Second Opinion: Mortal Kombat (PS3)

Hector: Badge Of Carnage Review (PC)

Tweet Hector: Badge of Carnage wants you to cringe. It seems like the developers of Hector want you to contemplate whether you should even continue playing in the first minutes of the game. Fans of the adventure genre will no doubt be surprised when they boot up Hector for the first time.

Review: Conduit 2 (Wii)

Review: Conduit 2 (Wii)

Tweet It is finally time to bury the term “for a Wii game.” The overused review qualifier that was imagined as a means to quell the fervent and insistent Nintendo fanbase has become a liability that has lead to the creation of a bias towards an underpowered system with ambitions far beyond its scope.

Weekly Poll: Will Microsoft unveil a new console at E3?

Tweet Thank goodness I am not the only person who thinks the whole effing experience is what counts when it comes to games.

Release of the Week: Brink (360, PS3, PC)

Tweet It wasn’t much more than a year ago when I first saw Brink. I got to see a demo at E3 2010 where I customized a character, shot some bad guys, and spilled my drink all over the carpet in Bethesda’s booth. Not one of my finest moments and one that I would rather forget. I did not, however,...

Community Question: Do you still enjoy single player campaigns?

Tweet In case you have not heard, the PSN is down, and it has been down for far tooooooo long.

Weekly Poll: What is the single most important part of any game?

Tweet Last week we asked if you were excited for a new piece of hardware from Nintendo, and boy, were the results split. A healthy majority of you have just given up on the Big N altogether, while another big group is stoked to see what Nintendo has to offer. Me? Well, I am curious what they have on the...
