Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review
The highly popular Call of Duty series has returned in grand style with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The game not only continues the epic series in a grand way but, for my money, is the best in the series to date and is one of the most intense and gripping games ever crafted. [...]
Dragon Age: Origins Review (PC, PS3, 360)
Bioware’s new epic, dark fantasy RPG has been receiving a lot of attention lately. The game’s marketing team has hit the internet hard and you would practically have to be blind to miss all the online ads for the game. This is a special case in which all the hype and pomp is very much [...]

Batman Arkham Asylum Review
As far as video games are concerned, Batman hasn’t been very lucky. With the exception of a great NES game based on the first Tim Burton movie, all efforts to make a game with Batman have been below average or just mediocre. It’s not for lack of trying, some games had you beating up hordes [...]
Tekken 6: Hands On
Tekken 6 is essentially done, been out in Japan for a while, and will hit American shores within weeks. With all that said, we had to get our hands on the new fighter at PAX. The first thing you’ll notice is the character roster is even larger than the one in Tekken 5. Just about [...]
God of War 3: Hands On
After the eternity that the gods of Olympus lived, we broke through the line and got to play God of War III. If you didn’t like God of War (yes, all three of you) then you probably won’t find anything here to like in the third installment. The game plays just the same as the [...]
Red Dead Redemption First Look
OCmodshop was first in line to get a glimpse of Red Dead Redemption; the sequel to 2005’s critically mixed Red Dead Revolver. Keep in mind, Rockstar was very tight about security breaches. No pictures could be taken, videos recorded etc. So we have only what we saw. The game takes place around 1910 in the [...]
Dante’s Inferno Hands On
Play God of War? Then you have a good idea of what we saw when we played Dante’s Inferno for the Playstation 3. The games are virtually identical in gameplay and control structure. If you’ve read “The Divine Comedy” then you know what to expect here. The game follows Dante as he heads through hell [...]

Nyko Metal Pedal Review
What do you call a person who pretends to be a musician? A drummer. In all seriousness, not everyone can be as awesome as me while playing a little guitar controller for Rock Band or Guitar Hero. Thanks to Rock Band and Guitar Hero World Tour, those people can play the drums. Playing these toy drums [...]

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Review
It is hard to believe that 25 years have passed since that summer day when I first watched “Ghostbusters”.
