Five Things Square Needs to do so Final Fantasy XIII doesn’t suck.
It’s no secret that Square-Enix isn’t the juggernaut they once were during the PS1 and PS2 eras. That’s not to say they aren’t a respected company, they just aren’t the be-all, end-all RPG empire that they were. Most of this happened with Final Fantasy XII, a game that was critically acclaimed by the media, and [...]
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. [...]

Obscure: The Aftermath (PSP) Review
I don’t believe there are enough survival horror games. Resident Evil rocked for a while, then they decided to focus on insane hillbillies instead of what they were good at… zombies. The original Xbox hailed tons of awesome horror games, which made it my favorite console to play when it was popular. Cold Fear, Doom [...]

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.
