A lone hero versus a creepy madhouse filled with zombies and other horrific creatures of the night? It’s been done before, but it’s never felt this real. Sega’s Rise of Nightmares is the first ESRB M-rated title exclusively for the Kinect peripheral, and after taking one look at the...
E3 Hands-On: Resistance 3 Multiplayer
Of all of the assorted kiosks that were available to play after the Sony E3 press briefing, there was just something about the Resistance 3 multiplayer preview that seemed to be calling out to me. This was particularly odd to me, especially considering how middling my opinions have been about prior...
E3 Hands-on: Majesco Entertainment
Majesco Entertainment has become synonymous in recent years with its localizations of the popular Cooking Mama franchise for the Western market. Their lineup this year is impressively diverse, ranging from casual titles such as a new 3DS iteration of the aforementioned Cooking Mama franchise and a Hulk...
E3 Impressions: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
When it comes to must-see games at this year’s E3, Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was very obviously near, if not at the top of the list.

The Baldur’s Gate series is one of their most beloved...
Hands On: Rock Band 3
Other than the Guitar Freaks over at Konami, Harmonix has been singlehandedly paving the way for innovation in the musical gaming space since 1995. Everything from Frequency and Amplitude, all the way up through the past Rock Band iterations has had an emphasis on translating what the player is hearing...
Preview: Spec Ops: The Line
It is always a pleasant surprise when you get more than you bargained for while looking at a game early. I came into the demonstration of Spec Ops thinking that I was going to be treated to a hybrid of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand and SOCOM, so my bar was VERY LOW. In a strange twist of fate that even...

Are you a fan of trench coats? Do you like mobsters? Have you ever woken up, only to find yourself spooning a disembodied horse’s head? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then you are definitely going to want to check out the newest installment in the Mafia franchise. After taking...
