Haven’t I played this before?

Fans of Oblivion and other third person D&D style RPGs should definitely look into a new one from Atlus known as Demon's Souls. The PS3 exclusive title has an awful lot of great things going for it, but the entire experience is considerably hampered by a brutal difficulty that requires a tremendous amount of repetition and patience. But don't let that keep you from trying what is otherwise the bes...[Read More]

World War II airplanes have always fascinated me; I have Steven Spielberg's 1941 to blame for that. Ubisoft has released another way for me to experience combat flying in WWII without actually having to be a part of it. Heroes Over Europe features some of the most beautiful scenery imagined for a WWII simulator. The question is: Could it actually have more than that? Come fly with me.

With the success of Left 4 Dead, the Resident Evil series, and the sweet zombies mode in the latest Call of Duty, it’s easy to see why the zombie craze has taken off. Zombies are a universally hated foe across all races and cultures, and the ferocity of their bloodlust is only matched by the cheesiness of their inherent humor. Couple that with modern game’s reliance on making sure ther...[Read More]

With preseason NHL games on TV and the MLB entering the playoffs, it's that time of year again for 2K Sports and EA to showcase their newest NHL games. Late last month, I participated in a 2K Sports conference call on NHL 2K10 that got me excited about this year's offering after the disappointment that was 2K9. Well, while 2K10 is a step forward from 2K9, it still can't match EA's offering and unl...[Read More]

I was very fortunate enough to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in August (early screening) and enjoyed the humor. My kids would have loved to see the film (which I'm going to take them to because I'm a good parent), so I understood going into this game what audience the title was geared towards. Still, did it make a difference that I knew it was for the kids? Let's find out.

I had always avoided racing games involving 'Rally' in them. For the most part I always got frustrated when playing them because there was little room for failure when it came to over compensating a turn or bumping into a vehicle.  Basically, I blame Sega Rally for most of my distasteful woes towards this genre of racing.  Sega's popular Rally game brought confusion, cursing and eventually the thr...[Read More]

This is what fun is all about.

Follow the legendary career of The Beatles from Liverpool to Shea Stadium to Abbey Road. Play drums, lead guitar, and bass guitar and sing three-part harmony with up to three microphones. Feel what it's like to perform The Beatles classic songs, on stage and in the studio.

I wonder if Bob Kane knew that his creation, Batman, would reach such heights of pop culture significance and popularity. The Caped Crusader is as popular today as ever, after decades of comics, TV shows, toys, movies, and video games. The Batman video games have been everything from terrible to good over the years, but Rocksteady Studios and Eidos Interactives' newest, Batman: Arkham Asylum, is b...[Read More]

Time to put on the pads again and strap on your jocks; it's Madden time! (Oh, don't forget the cup)

The Wolfenstein franchise is alive and well. It's been years since Return To Castle Wolfenstein, and many more years since the original Wolfenstein Blitzkrieg'ed gaming and changed it forever. Just recently, two iPhone games based on the exploits of OSA Agent BJ Blazkowicz, including an RPG, were released. Now, Raven,  id, and Activision, one of my favorite trios in gaming, have teamed up to bring...[Read More]
