*NOTE: I know this game was made by Blue Castle Games, in Canada, but it’s still basically the same game as DR1. Same people worked on it too, and Capcom made the first game.* I believe this game demonstrates the theory that Eastern game developers have already lost to the West. What is this new [...]

Heavy Rain Walkthrough
Heavy Rain is a game about being a nearly completely interactive drama. You may think “why not just film a live action movie rather than make them virtual”, but there are so many different endings to see that make this game far more than just a simple play-by-numbers interactive movie (which is what people are [...]

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. [...]
Lost Planet 2 Preview
Capcom was on hand at PAX09, and one of their hottest previews was definitely Lost Planet 2.

Like the previous game, Lost Planet 2 is a science fiction third-person shooter [...]
Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena Review
It has been five years since we saw Riddick shredding up enemies in 2004′s ”Escape from Butcher Bay”. That game was a runaway hit that came out of nowhere, and left many PC gamers wanting more. Atari has now developed the sequel to this sequel (Riddick’s character was originally introduced in the movie Pitch Black), but this time [...]
Left 4 Dead Used as Training Simulator by Military
If you’ve ever been to Idaho, you’ll agree with me that’s it’s a nice place to visit. They have more potatoes than anyone else really cares to brag about. But there’s something else there just behind the thin veil of potato chips and skinheads. There is a group of people living on a twenty-acre tract [...]
Bionic Commando (classic) Review
With a remake on the way along with a sequel, it got me to reminiscing. Not on what old school remakes were, but when Bionic Commando was Bionic F**KING Commando. Even if you didn’t have this game, someone nearby did, and every kid in school had played it. Upon starting the first stage there was [...]
Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs Review
The second of the straight to DVD Futurama movies, “Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs” has arrived and it comes loaded with laughs. Picking up shortly after the end of the previous film, “Bender’s Big Score”, the people of our universe are in fear of what the new inter-dimensional rift will mean to them [...]
Interview with Haze’s Rob Yescombe
Recently I got the chance to speak with Rob Yescombe from Free Radical, Screenwriter on the hot new PS 3 Shooter Haze. I got the chance to play an early version of the game at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, and Rob was kind enough to take the time to update me on what [...]
Linux on Strike!
The newly-appointed head of the World Linux Bureau (abbreviated WCP) issued a recent statement that has the potential to affect every living soul on the planet. If their demands are not met, Linux will go on strike. The Linux operating system is one of the longest-running computer systems in history, and has gone mostly unappreciated. [...]
The Wait for Halo 3 Ends

By the end of the week, 37 countries will be playing one of the most anticipated video games of all time.

Sam & Max Season Two Preview
I had a chance to sit down with the great folks at TellTale games, who wanted to show off the work they’ve done on Sam & Max: Season Two. The lovely Emily Morganti was seated next to the demo laptop, and several of the key developers and program managers were also present, interjecting comments as [...]
Assassin’s Creed First Look
On August 26th, 2007 an 11 minute demo of Assassin’s Creed was shown at the PAX 2007 by Ubisoft Montral’s Creative Director, Patrice Desilets. Too bad Jade Raymond, the producer of Assassin’s Creed, wasn’t there… there would have been a page dedicated just to her! The level that was shown was the same as in [...]
Rainbow Six: Vegas Walkthrough
Well, darn. Money is tight around here. I don’t own this game, I rented it for five days and I decided to get a guide going once I saw that no one else did. Geez, it’s been a long time since this game came out, I would have thought I was hella late. Oh well, [...]
Boom Boom Rocket Review (Xbox 360)
At first glance, a game about fireworks doesn’t sound like it would be very fun. The concept itself makes you curious, and that is enough to snare you into the addictive world of Boom Boom Rocket: a game that enhances on the proven gameplay of Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero. Instead of distracting background [...]
More Adventures in Line for a Playstation 3
I went to Best Buy Thursday night with one very clear goal: To talk to and photograph the brave souls who had been waiting for 36 hours. I had no illusions about getting a PlayStation 3 for myself. Weeks earlier I had camped out all night to pre-order one at GameStop and that was good [...]

Ultra Aluminus Case Review
Nearly every component of a computer is designed to go into a case. There have been plain boring cases built for the last 30 or years, with very few manufacturers taking the time to make their computers look as appealing as their performance. A few exceptions pop into mind: Apple, Alienware, and well…those are really [...]
