Rekoil: Liberator
There are "growing pains" in all professions. Video game design is no exception. From 505 Games and rookie development team Plastic Piranha, this Xbox LIVE Arcade title for the 360 is a port from a multiplayer-only FPS available for PC. While I haven't played the computer predecessor, Liberator is, unfortunately, quite bad in pretty much every aspect.
Call of Duty: Ghosts Onslaught
This winter, prepare for an Onslaught! Activision, Infinity Ward, and Neversoft have officially kicked off the CoD: Ghosts DLC season, and a season pass or $14.99 on Xbox LIVE grants access to four fresh multiplayer maps, (technically) two new guns, and the opening act to an Extinction "series."

The Blu-ray combo pack includes unrated and theatrical versions al...[Read More]
Prisoners
Being held captive can sometimes be a personal, internal struggle. Warner Bros. brings us the Blu-ray release of this mystery thriller directed by Denis Villeneuve starring an unbelievable ensemble of: Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Maria Bello, Viola Davis, Mellisa Leo, and Terrence Howard. Incredible performances turned in by all members of the cast make up for a lack luster twist and unbalanc...[Read More]

Astro, makers of premium, audiophile level, personal gaming audio solutions are bringin' the noise again. This time, their wireless A50 headset is suiting up Battlefield 4 style.
Call of Duty: Ghosts
Despite the title, this game will be seen and heard by millions. Activision flew me out to checkout the lastest installent in the yearly Call of Duty life cycle, developed by Infinity Ward, Neversoft, and Raven. A new IP, Ghosts, brings familiar core principles with some fresh ideas and new ways to experience CoD.
Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate
Bring the battle, Ultimate style! Koei Tecmo and Team NINJA line up as tag team parters once again to bring us an expanded, more feature rich, version of last year's contender for fighting game of the year, Dead or Alive 5. While there aren't "extreme" differences between then and now in terms of gameplay, the additions do make this release better than it's predecessor and might be a worthy inve...[Read More]

This past Wednesday, the world got to see the entertainment software heavyweight pull the proverbial tarpaulin back on Infinity Ward's newest project that promises to take the CoD brand in a new direction, while still holding true to th...[Read More]
Saints Row IV
Things are about to get crazy, really crazy! From Deep Silver and Volition comes the fourth trip into the insane world of the Saints. If being President, fighting aliens, and having super powers piques interest, you're in for one blisteringly over-the-top ride. Although all of these abilities may be just a little too much, and detract from a very well designed and constructed action game.
