PS3, X360, PC- Game of Thrones
- Review
- There is probably a great role-playing game to be made out of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, but Game of Thrones isn't it.
MAC, PC- Diablo III
- Review
- The first Diablo game in over a decade is also one of the most insidiously satisfying loot treadmills in almost as long.
PS3N, PS3, X360, PC- Prototype 2
- Review
- Prototype 2 gives you some interesting abilities that can be fun to use, but it doesn't give you enough good opportunities to cut loose with all that power.
PS3, X360, PC- Max Payne 3
- Review
- Rockstar Games modernizes and makes Max Payne its own, creating something grittier and more grounded in reality, if not quite as singular.

Great to see this series of blogs make a return. I played the first Max Payne for the first time last year, and while I found the mechanics a little primitive, I really enjoyed the presentation and the twitchy nature of the shooting. I have Max Payne 2 and had intended to get around to it by now, but other games have distracted me from it. Perhaps when I've put ...

created a blog post Enduring Final Fantasy VII - Episode Twenty-Seven.
Hey guys, dankempster here. I would write up a fancy preamble to this blog post, but I'm too busy Enduring Final Fantasy VII right now. Sorry.Episode Twenty-Seven - Tying Up Some Loose EndsIn the last episode, we witnessed Cloud and the gang infiltrate the Underwater Reactor near Junon, recovering another piece of Huge Materia and pilfering a Shinra submarine in the process. Rather than press on with the main task ...

I plan to make up for last weekend's lack of Enduring Final Fantasy VII with new episodes coming in the next two weekends. Sorry to anybody who was waiting on Ep 27 on Sunday.

@Sparky_Buzzsaw: There are definitely a few franchises that I want that from, and after playing all three core games I'd be willing to say Halo is one of them. When a core formula is as solid as Halo's, sometimes iterative improvements really are all that's needed. I guess it also probably helps that the Halo games have been fairly well spaced-out as far as releases go - the first game ...

This is kind of frustrating news. I remember this game being one of my most highly anticipated releases of 2011, long before it saw its first delay into the final quarter of this year, and now it's suffered another. I guess part of me is also worried because the last Tomb Raider game to see multiple prolonged delays was The Angel of Darkness, and we all know how that turned ...

I think I'm about as far into Vagrant Story as I've ever been right now. Still absolutely adore the game.

It's always nice to read some well-formed thoughts on Enslaved. I really enjoyed that game when I played it last year (around this time, weirdly), and for most of the same reasons as yourself. The characters of Monkey and Trip, and more specifically the rapport that develops between them, keeps Enslaved's otherwise bare-bones story really engaging. The gameplay is simplistic, yeah, but I kind of appreciated that - if it ...

Sorry I didn't get the scheduled episode of Enduring Final Fantasy VII out yesterday. I got hit in the face by a cricket ball.

Brief update - Soul Reaver's back on the cards, Vagrant Story is effin' awesome, and I'll hopefully catch up on blog-reading on Friday night. Stay cool, Giant Bomb.

created a blog post Finishing The Fight.
I really enjoyed playing through Halo......and its sequel at the end of 2011Right at the end of last year, I played through the first two Halo games back-to-back. It was an impulse decision, encouraged by the atmosphere surrounding the time - I was halfway through Persona 3, eager to start Skyrim, but wanted something straight-forward to tide me over without distracting me from the commitment of writing my usual string ...

Was it not between Persona 3 and Deus Ex that I recommended the former to you? Well now you should probably play the latter. That, or finish up Soul Reaver.

So with Halo 3 wrapped up, and a blog on its way tomorrow, the only thing left to do is decide what to play next...

I keep trudging through Majora's Mask, despite its inherent bad game design in many areas.

How can anyone play a Diablo-esque dungeon crawler for hours without Yosuke antics or Georama or something to break up the tedium? I've clearly been spoiled rotten since Diablo II came out.
