Review: Soul Calibur V (Xbox 360)

Tweet The Force was somewhat strong with Soul Calibur IV, but it was held back by a combination of controversial guest characters, egregious DLC, and a fighting system that wasn’t very friendly to high-level tournament play.  Three years later, Project Soul is back with a new title in the...

Import Review: Kidou Senshi Gundam Extreme VS (PS3)

Tweet In Japan, Gundam is everywhere.  It’s literally impossible to walk two steps in Tokyo without encountering some sort of franchised product featuring the giant robot-themed series.  There are more Gundam console video games than versions of Madden or Call of Duty (by far), and they continue to...

The Birth of the Modern Blockbuster

The Greatly Exaggerated Demise of the Nintendo 3DS

Tweet What do Zach Braff, Bob Barker, Fidel Castro, Sean Connery, Miley Cyrus, Will Ferrel and the Queen of England have in common with the Nintendo 3DS?  Each have been erroneously reported as dead in the press at one point or another, and each is still very much alive and kicking.

Review: Mario Kart 7 (3DS)

Tweet I’m playing through Mario Kart 7 with a ferocity I haven’t had with the series in some time. Part of that was for this review, but the other is because I’m actually enjoying Mario Kart once again. I’ve made it no secret over the past few years that I hate Mario Kart Wii. There...
