Top Five Franchises on the Decline

Top Five Franchises on the Decline

Fanboy-ism aside, I think everyone can admit that some major triple “A” franchises have jumped the shark, and just don’t know it. Yeah, I know that this article might be controversial, even among my fellow writers here at GrE. That being said, let’s discuss some of the franchises...

Playing Through The Pain: Deadliest Catch Edition

Playing Through The Pain: Deadliest Catch Edition

So the first game that I reviewed for this section didn’t really turn out to be that bad at all. Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm however, is probably one of the most boring games I have yet to play. Being a huge fan of the show, I figured I would give this one a shot. I knew just by the sheer fact that...

Playing Through the Pain: Eat Lead Edition

For whatever reason, I have some sick and twisted love for really bad games. I love watching them, playing them and making fun of them.

Will Games Write Our Future?

Television does not make you happy.  It once held your attention, but the watered down programming that has spread itself out over the endless number of channels makes you sad.  You’re tired of watching things happen; you want to make things happen.  OK, that may involve more time and effort than...

Will Wii Music be worth the wait?

Will Wii Music be worth the wait?

Wii Music’s REAL competition isn’t going to be Rock Band or Guitar Hero, but rather itself. Full Disclosure: I set out to write this article about how uninteresting Wii Music seems. How every time I watch a new trailer for it doesn’t seem to capture my attention. But at the end of taking...
