Plants vs. Zombies (iPhone)

Ok, I’ve talked about this game a enough already but I feel that a review is required.  While discussing this game with a co-worker the other day, we had a complete conversation that consisted of phrases like, “the stars make it almost too easy to decimate the zambonies,” and, “if you don’t plant a giant tator [...]

Battlefield 1943 (A Non-FPS player's take)

So this isn’t to say I’ve never played a FPS (First Person Shooter) but I usually stay away from the genre. My background as a gamer has demanded that I not play them as Nintendo isn’t really friendly toward it. Since the Super Nintendo, my console ownership pattern has always been the current [...]

No More Heroes (Wii)

For all those gamers out there, I know what you’re thinking. “Another one, really?  Why don’t you review fucking Super Mario Bros. while you’re at it?” Yeah I’m reviewing a game that has been analyzed to death since it came out back in ‘08. In fact, in its two year anniversary and [...]

Heavy Rain (PS3) Demo Impressions

Ghostbusters: The Videogame

If you wanted to see a Ghostbusters 3, then this is probably as close as you’re going to get.  Personally, I’m holding out hope for the Ghostbusters 3 that stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen and is directed by Edgar Wright from a script penned by all of the aforementioned talented gentlemen.  [...]

Guitar Hero: Metallica

I have to get this out of the way first.  I’ve kind of lost track of how many times Metallica has raised a hand to me.  I’ve been beaten so many times, it’s hard to remember every incident.  And when the smoke clears for a moment, rather than hold them accountable for their actions, I’ll [...]

Resident Evil 5: Demo Preview

Let me preface by saying that I am a really big fan of the Resident Evil games.  Not that horse shit shooting gallery stuff they threw in the series a few years back and don’t even talk to me about the garbage they passed as movies.  But I love the original games.  To give you [...]
