Afro Samurai started out as a very unique concept on television. You have a samurai in the middle of some futuristic Japan (it's hard to tell the exact timeline), who is out to get the number one headband and will do anything in his power to obtain it. A head band, you ask? It brings immortality to the bearer. What more can you ask for?
Relax.

Wow, that was quick. It was just yesterday I was taking out Terrorist in the middle east somewhere. Now, we're back to the historical documents (thank you Galaxy Quest) and into World War II battles. Is it the same old stuff? Could it be that Activision went back to what worked so they didn't have to work so hard? Or is it something more? Read on...
The PS3 has grown up quite a bit in these last two years (happy birthday, by the way). When the system first launched two years ago today, most gamers picked up their copy of Resistance: Fall of Man as soon as possible. Clearly the best launch title, Insomniac Games put together a fine story with great gameplay in this first person shooter set in the 1950s. Now, Insomniac has returned to bring us ...[Read More]
The wildly popular Naruto anime has seen several video game releases in recent years, but the first to reach the PS3 is a system exclusive in the form of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm. CyberConnect2, who have plenty of Naruto experience behind them, have clearly spent a great deal of effort capturing the visual feel of the anime, but perhaps at the cost of solid gameplay.

Don't you wish you could have the amenities and privileges of being ...[Read More]
