I Never Talked About Lost Planet

There were a few games I had planned to review, but after losing all my progress when I deleted my profile and having pretty much made the decision to ditch the formal reviews, I just never got around to them. Over the next week or so, I’m going to roll out a bunch of posts [...]

Reader Poll: Keep Reviews or Ditch Them?

For some time now, I've been toying with the idea of ditching my "formal" game reviews for lower key, casual observations. Take this post where I discuss my thoughts on Dead Rising and Saints Row after spending some time with the demos of each game. Now compare it to each game's review. Another good example of a casual, open-ended post is my take on Splinter Cell: Double Agent after playing the first few missions. I never did get around to reviewing that game.

Dead Rising: Review

So how did my experience get turned around as it did? Let me first explain a little about what Dead Rising is and is not...

Bashing Zombies and Cleansing Ghettos

Apparently, August is a good month for the Xbox 360. Actually, the whole summer has been great come to think of it! 2 games that are hitting shelves this month recently made their way to the Xbox Live Marketplace in demo form. I will admit, I wasn't overly excited about either of them until I got my hands on the demo offerings last week. Now I can hardly wait to spend a combined $150 on them.
