Fresh off Blizzcon, Starcraft II was available for a 20 minute play-through at PAX. After years we finally have a chance to play a sequel to the beloved real time strategy released back in 1998. If you’re looking for something that reinvents the genre much like Warcraft III did a few years then ago-keep looking. [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

World of Warcraft Cataclysm FAQs
A: While the attention of the Horde and Alliance remained fixed upon Northrend, an ancient evil has been lying dormant within Deepholm, the domain of earth in the Elemental Plane.

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 [...]
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Movie Review
It has been nearly two years since fans last witnessed Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), battle the evil Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). At long last, J.K. Rowling’s beloved saga continues with “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”. The film picks up a year after the events of the previous film with the evil Death Eaters wreaking havoc [...]
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 [...]
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs Review
Scrat and the gang are back, and this time in stunning 3D in the new “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs”. The third chapter in the popular series once again follows the adventures of the unusual mix of friends, in their frozen home. As the film opens, Manny (Ray Romano), is a nervous wreck as [...]
The Sims 3 Interview
Recently I got the chance to ask a few questions to the creative team behind The Sims 3. I want to thank them for taking the time to answer my questions and I also want to thank Angie at EA for arranging the interview. What is the background and setting for the game? Sunset Valley [...]
Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings Review (PSP)
Since we have already published an official review of IJatSoK for the Wii (read it here), I decided to publish my thoughts on the PSP version of the game. I’m glad to see a lot more Indiana Jones around, because there was such a drought of content between the third and fourth movies. I’ll just [...]
Guitar Hero: Smash Hits Review
The hits keep on coming in the highly popular Guitar Hero franchise with the latest release, Guitar Hero: Smash Hits. The 48 song collection contains all the best tracks from the previous Guitar Hero games, and allows gamers to not only play Guitar, but add vocals and drums as well. The game is not a [...]
EA Sports Active Review
I don’t think I can drive five miles from my house without coming across a fitness center. LA Fitness there, 24 Hr Fitness here, Curves that way. Everywhere I turn, there’s a flyer or coupon touting great deals for new members. Sure, I get tempted. Goodness knows this body needs more exercise. But in my [...]
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen Movie Review
Following up the success of “Transformers” was not easy task, and thankfully Director Michael Bay and the amazing wizards at Industrial Light and Magic are up to the challenge as “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is the rare sequel that outdoes the original in almost every way. The film once again stars Shia LaBeouf as [...]
Rock Band Unplugged Review
All I can say, is: it’s about time. Why did it take so long to get Rock Band on PSP? Nintendo DS has had Guitar Hero On Tour for a couple of years now, and while everyone else was playing FPS and old rips of Playstation One games, we got the pleasure of watching other [...]
The Problems with BioShock 2
Everyone has been anticipating the release of BioShock 2 ever since it was announced, and has been really hyped by the media. Many review websites gave it very high marks, like a 9.5 or 10 out of 10. While BioShock 2 is a very good game, I disagree with other critics that it is nearly [...]
