Now With Motion Controls!

Since E3 has already passed and now the roar of both angry and happy fan boys and journalists everywhere has become only the sound of tears I figured it was a perfect time to discuss what seems to be the flavor of the week for this generation: Motion Controls. I can’t honestly say that I’m excited about these new ideas. Maybe my problem is that I grew up with a controller and as much as I want to love the idea of a new way to play games I just don’t see it being the way that I want to play my games. The fact is that they’re really going to have to try hard for my gaming dollars especially since my Wii is collecting more dust as each day passes and I grow a bit more cynical and my heart breaks a little more and now I’m depressing myself so let’s move on!

Review: Red Faction:Guerrilla

Blowing things up has never been this much fun

“Better Red than Dead” is an occurring theme throughout the Red Faction series but in none of the other games have you been able to see it and feel it as well as you can in Volition’s (makers of the previous Red Faction games and Saints Row) newest installment Red Faction:Guerrilla.

Mini-Review: Plants Vs. Zombies

For those who love gardening and are interested in the Zombie Apocalypse

So as I was looking for a break from the free-roaming mayhem of Infamous and Red Faction: Guerrilla (which I’ll post my thoughts on next week when I’ve played some more of the multiplayer) I remembered that Popcap games (makers of insanely popular games such as Bejeweled and Peggle) had released a new tower defense game (well, they termed it a “Flower-Defense” Game) that I had been dying to get my hands on.

Review: Infamous

He’s so famous, he’s INfamous!

So I finally blew the dust off of my Playstation 3 and tried out Infamous. I’m a fan ofthe Sly Cooper series (which came from the same developers, Sucker Punch) and definitely am having a good time with the game so far. If you liked Crackdown or are a fan of super-powered sandbox games in general then Infamous will be a game for you. The graphics are a nice, dark shade and the controls work pretty well even with all of the options the different abilities give you. Read the rest of this entry »

Apologies All Around!

So it’s been a while (most likely too long) since a post has been made on this website. For a while it seemed I lost the desire to actually write anything and then was overwhelmed with school, work, and the sliver of a social life that I do have. This all makes for a very difficult chance to actually write something that I want to.

Well Summer has come and a well needed vacation has reinvigorated me to write again. After a weekend of burning on the beach I’m back home and ready to get back to work on this website.  So without further ado, let the show go on!
