All reviewsAssassin's Creed III2012
3 out of 5 starsI've been on an Assassin's Creed tear since Black Flag arrived at my doorstep for the Playstation 4. While being wholly aware that the previous games aren't required to fully enjoy the latest one, I felt that if I played 4 it would be difficult to go backwards. So I burned through Revelations and Liberation, enjoying the former and loathing the latter. I paused on whether to play 3 given the bad criticism it…
Mutant League Hockey1994
3 out of 5 starsGames that take traditional concepts and turn them on their head appeal to my nonconformist sensibilities. Base Wars for the NES, Cyberball in the arcade--Battle Chess on the PC, all games that use the familiar as a main ingredient while throwing in a little spice of crazy for flavor. Mutant League Hockey (and Football, for that matter) is a hockey game, to be sure, but it's also features additional concerns for the…

No one cares, Marcus. Hoping to finish up Gears 3 tonight or tomorrow. The game is definitely the best in the series but the combat does get monotonous. Still, as shooters go it's mindless in a good way, things certainly blow up well enough and humanoids gib as they should. I could care less about meeting / rescuing Marcus's dad but instead enjoy the banter between Cole, Baird and Sam. Marcus a...
The Binding of Isaac & Bastion
Mar 4, 2012
Hearing about Nintendo's decision to reject The Binding of Isaac from their eShop piqued my interest. I think Sw0rdfish gifted me the game during the Steam sale and I never touched it. All I can say is wow, I can see why Nintendo would have issues with this game. Between the amounts of cartoon blood everywhere to making deals with the devil, it was probably a good move considering their image....
So this is the New Year.

As resolutions go, I'm as good as the best of them when it comes to failing to follow through. That is, I'm like most people. Day-to-day promises to myself start out positive around 6:45 in the morning, and once I'm out of the shower my enthusiasm for changing my life in some remarkable way cools off by the time I'm hanging up the towel. Weekends are a black hole entirely; I rarely shower on Sa...
Console Gaming's Keyboard and Mouse Moment
Feb 20, 2011
Killzone 3 comes out this Tuesday. Besides being what Metacritic reports is a solid sequel to Killzone 2, it includes full support for the Playstation Move. Up until now, consoles have managed to host some of the best first-person shooters around, but ask someone with a deep history of playing PC FPS and you’re liable to encounter a tsunami of disdain for console shooters. For someone skilled a...
Left 4 Dead 2 Impressions
Jan 3, 2010
It's...Left 4 Dead, with more weapons and unique zombies. I picked it up for $33 bucks off Steam, so given that first impression, I can't complain too much. I mean, that's an expansion pack level price. My friend Joe and I played through the first two campaigns, we haven't touched any other multi-player modes yet. The level design captures the feel of the area it's based on, so it doesn't feel...
Getting Outside of What's Comfortable.
Jul 5, 2009
Knights in the Nightmare is unlike any tactics game I've ever played. And the more I play it, the more I wish games in general would take risks with breaking with convention. Having to dodge bullets while giving your soldiers orders seems kind of arbitrary, but it's like throwing hot sauce on what would otherwise be an ordinary burger. I like hot sauce. A lot. I guess Atlus is ultimately respon...
