Winning the 2012 Console War
There’s been a lot of talk recently about the three major console manufacturers announcing their next generations of consoles in 2012.

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.

The 2009 installment of PAX has come and gone. As the show seems to get larger and larger, so do the lines, the swag, and of course, the games. Before I go into my review, I want to state right now to the general public that for 50 dollars (not counting parking) you’re getting a [...]

Rock Band Unplugged Review
