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 [...]
Left 4 Dead 2 Preview
One of the biggest draws at PAX 2009 was the Left 4 Dead booth. Unless you’;ve been living under a rock the past year or so, then you no doubt know about this shooter that throws you and three other survivors in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. The original Left 4 Dead is a [...]
SAW: The PC Game: The Review
I couldn’t think of a better game to review on the eve of Halloween than one based on torture devices and cringe-inducing deaths at the hands of the infamous Jigsaw killer. Zombie Studios and Konami, the marvelous guys behind Silent Hill, have brought the Saw series to life in the third-person survival horror game SAW. [...]

Mixing action, humor, and heavy metal, Brutal Legend makes a statement as one of the most enjoyable and unique games in recent years.

Guitar Hero 5 Review
Following on the success of its preceding title, Guitar Hero World Tour, Activision brings gamers Guitar Hero 5.

Star Wars the Clone Wars Republic Heroes Interview
Recently I spoke with Cris “Soup” Lee, assistant producer on the new Star Wars Game The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes. I want to thank Cris and Christopher for setting up the interview and answering my questions. GVK: What is the background and setting for the game? The game picks up at the end of Season [...]
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 [...]
Mass Effect 2: Hands On
We checked out a playable demo of BioWare’s Mass Effect 2 at PAX when we promptly entered the showroom floor and it seems to be on the right track. From the get-go the game seems to throw you into the story, offering some dialogue options to uncover hoopla in some instances, while others can let [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
TMNT: Smash Up Hands ON
With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters as the only game worth remembering as a licensed fighting game, in the TMNT universe or otherwise. TMNT: Smash-Up aims to change just that. If that’s the case, it has a long way to go. The game was on hand at PAX offering a roster of popular favorites [...]
Darkest of Days Hands-On
I had a chance to speak with Jerry Whitehead about the new shooter, Darkest of Days. This game throws the player into catastrophic historical events such as Little Big Horn, World War II, the Civil War, and even Pompeii. What ties all of these disasters from different time periods together is the game’s sci-fi twist. [...]
Marvel Vs Capcom 2 (Xbox Live) Review
When Marvel VS Capcom 2 hit arcades in 2000 it marked not just the pinnacle of the crossover fighting genre, but it also was considered the last great 2D fighter for some time. While Street Fighter 4 has changed everything, MVC2’s release on X-box Live and soon Playstation 3 could be just as enjoyable if [...]

With Fall on the horizon, it will soon be time for collegiates all over the nation to gear up for fierce gridiron combat. In NCAA Football 10 by EA Sports, fans can get into the action in style. Playing on my Playstation 3 with the Dual Shock 3 control, I was easily able to setup [...]

Red Faction: Guerilla Review
Volition and THQ have scored with the high enjoyable third chapter in the Red Faction series, Red Faction Guerrilla. The game wisely ignores the very disappointing second game in the series and returns the game to it’s’ roots on Mars. Picking up years after the events of the first game, players take on the role [...]
