Gaming mice can be expensive, though, and it really sucks to purchase an expensive mouse just to find out it wasn’t as good as you thought. The Avatar S mouse has been out for a while, but still holds strong because it is one of the cheapest gaming-grade mice you can find.

Dead Rising 2 Walkthrough
*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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

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.

Star Trek Online Interview Two
Recently I spoke to Craig Zinkievich Executive Producer for Star Trek Online at Cryptic Studios who was kind enough to do a detailed follow up to our previous interview.

5 Classic Games You Need to Play
I used to do these a lot a few years ago and I don’t know why I didn’t do one last year. So this time I’m bringing another Pato game club. This is essentially my version of a book club but with video games. My goal is to cite a few niche titles that this [...]

Work was such a nightmare that I was working 23 days straight with no day off. Anyways, I’ll just go off a few things happening lately and call it good. I…think…I’m [...]
Final Fantasy IV Revisited
There was once a time when RPG’s didn’t have flashy cinematics, real time battles, and overly clichéd plots. There was a game that was innovative for improving the turn based formula, giving a story like none have ever seen, and a translation none would want to see again. Of course, I am talking about Final [...]
