Oh ho, what's this? A photo of an advert. You know those little cards you find in your video game cases now? The Dragon Age: Origins expansion Awakening came with one as well, with just the game's blood dragon and a date:

Could it be the sequel-prequel-we-don't-know-what? Dun, dun dun...

Probably the most anticipated review/game is God of War III for PS3, though XBLA's Scrap Metal is also up there. The first, you already know, and the second is a lovely little vehicular combat game by Slick, the people who made N+. Also note that our Blur multiplayer beta key giveaway is actually still active, even thou

Heavy Rain Journal 1

Incredible game! It's definately a must play. I'm not too far into the game, and I can easily say it's a favourite. The game is a huge quick time event game. It can get tricky, and messing up will result in a different end outcome, but when you get it right, it's fun to watch everything play out. The characters are likeable, and you feel their pain, victory, or stress. This game is incredible in every way, and it's also very appealing.
Am I also the only one who wants that ARI thing the FBI Agent has?

Greed Corp review up (finally)


Yes, I had previously said this baby would be on our front page by Friday night. I lied. Whoops.

Well, it's Saturday night/Sunday morning, and you will find our Greed Corp review up there now. As well as in the forums. But you know, the front page deserves love, so give it some. Hey, I'm awesome though, so I'll give you the link right here!

If you haven't a clue, Greed Corp is the first game to be based in W!Games' Mistbound world. It's a strategy game with a puzzle twist. It's rather difficult to explain everything, especially with how complex the game is. Just read about it here.

I included the launch trailer in the article, so be sure to click on that. Hilariously cute stuff. And if you dig the default image above, I uploaded the game's concept art to its profile just this week.

Sonic the Hedgehog by Gamecube Guru

Winner of the 55th round of Articles of Excellence. No, this isn't one of the old 2D side scrollers. Gamecube Guru takes a critical look at the 2006 3D incarnation on the PS3 and examines just why the game has been slammed by many. His own thoughts are quite negative about the game as well and you can see why at the source.

 Sonic the Hedgehog     Score: 1.5/5
 Genre: Platform

 It just didn't want to cooperate with the player, especially when it
 comes to certain characters, situations, and the camera controls themselves.


quote Gamecube Guru


Revival? From what!?
Sega promised that this particular game would revive the Sonic franchise, and get it going the way it was. May I ask... how did Sonic die, exactly? Shadow The Hedgehog? Nah. That game was decent enough. Sonic Heroes? Maybe... I remember that game glitching out towards the end, though it had a strong start, so... I'm kind of in limbo her

The Uncharted 2 1.05 update?

I realised that I haven't been doing many actual blogs, and videos instead, so I found this a topic to be an intresting one to write about.

Well, just a couple days ago (I think it was Tuesday? Can't remember) Naughty Dog realeased the 1.05 Version Update on us Fortune Seekers. This was a big ol' update, hitting roughly 100MB, more than any COD update I've had to do anyway. It was arguably worth it though.
The update was to co-side with the huge chunk of DLC Naughty Dog are realeasing onto the Store Thursday I believe. It will be all Uncharted 1: Drakes Fortune themed, look here:



Now that is badass. There are two maps, bigger than any other by the look of 'em. One, Flooded Ruins, takes parts from a lot of chapters; The Cathedral, Trapped e.t.c and mixes them up. The other, The Facility, is based around those levels after you escaped the mutated Spaniards. Plus some skins like Old Drake, Ga

Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce review + tons more awesome


So I hear you guys like video games. That's good, because I like video games too, which means we can not be enemies. That is optimal for all parties.

If you gamers haven't been keeping track of the front page content, shame on you. We've got a crap ton of new reviews and other gaming features... so SHAME ON YOU. Don't worry, I know how you can redeem yourself. Yes, it's not too late to read all that awesomeness, and I've got the links right here.

The most recent is, of course, DYNASTY WARRIORS: Strikeforce for Xbox 360 and PS3, from KOEI. Caps are official, yes. Japanese companies, what're you gonna do, right? Anywaaaay, you should read this review, especially if you like DW. One thing about the game that bugged me was the lack of custom character creation. Turns out it's still awesome, and I'm betting we'll get Create-A-Warrior in the sequel, assuming there is one.

Let Fanboys Reign?

I dunno, maybe I'm just an overspeculative ass, but it seems to me that, at least in the gaming category, society has turned into one great big competition between consoles, constantly warring over which one is better, which ones sucks, which is really worth your money, etc. I've never been in such a society where such things matter so much to people.

And yet it all seems so normal to me. Is that wrong?

Well, let's look back, shall we? Back to, say, the PSOne. Maybe it was just me not tuning in enough, or the sheer lack of interest over the whole critical aspect of gaming, but it's almost as if there were a lot less fanboys back in that day. I had my PSOne, I had my games; I couldn't care less what Kevin Van'Ord on Gamespot had to say about Spyro the Dragon. Hell, I didn't even know Gamespot existed back then. It was almost as if gamers were just that: gamers. There didn't seem like there

Bioshock 2 Review

Bioshock 2 is an atmospheric sequel to the 2007 game, Bioshock. It has a few things lacking, including the length of its predecessor. Oh, and it has Multiplayer. Now for the detailed review.

Graphics:
Bioshock 2 is extremely detailed, especially in the underwater portions, but it isn't something we haven't seen in the first Bioshock. Bioshock 2 does a very nice job of portraying a decrepit underwater city, but again, the first Bioshock already did this. Rapture is still very detailed, and it has a couple new locations, which is nice for people who are already a fan of the Bioshock series. I did have some framerate issues, but it went away almost instantly. Graphics get a 9.8 .

Sound:
Extraordinary. The sound in this game is perfect, whether it be the old music used, the dialogue of the ferocious Splicers, or the audio diaries you find scattered throughout Rapture, even though all of
