Hyperkin PS3 Text Link Remote Review

Despite its slow start in the console war, the PS3 has come into its own of late, as it is a very strong multimedia powerhouse in addition to a great gaming machine.  What the commercials say really is true: The PS3 just does about everything.

Black Friday relapse, Spike TV Awards

Black Friday relapse, Spike TV Awards

Welcome to the Wrath of El Pato. The column that somehow can be…weekly? So the Xbox 360 kicked ass during Black Friday. That’s surprising.

Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots Walkthrough

I’m not the ultimate fan, and if I liked pixels awkward controls I would play the first two games. This game is a large part fan service, where MGS3 was  really just a game for anyone.
