Sorry for the delay in posts, but I've been banging my head agaisnt the wall for the last few weeks trying to beat Rainbow Six Vegas 2 on Realistic. I actually got my PS3 version exchanged for the Xbox 360 version of the game, and will be writing a new review based on that version. But that's not what I'm here to talk about today.
( But there will be shooting. )

(Keep in mind that this is based on the PlayStation 3 version of the game. Owners of the Xbox 360 version may have a different experience ( Read more... )

Gibson's lawsuits against Activision over Guitar Hero and the trio of Electronic Arts, Activision and Viacom (owners of MTV) over Rock Band are getting messy.
( Lawsuits. They're the new rock & roll. )

I previously mentioned my annoyance at being unable to play House of the Dead 2 on my LCD television, which is a shame since it was one of my favorite Dreamcast games. Thus, it's easy to imagine that I was all over House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return for the Wii.

( Though I wonder where the house is... )

One of the bugbears that normally prevents me from beating a PC game in a timely and efficient manner is when they're buggy. Whether it be an unreasonable amount of glitches, or just a few broken side quests here and there, bugs can make a game, even one as enjoyable as S.T.A.L.K.E.R, a bit of an exercise in tedium.

In news that I'm sure is going to cause celebrations to break out throughout the United Kingdom, The BBFC has finally been strong-armed into giving Manhunt 2 an 18 certification. Yes, now you too can experience a mediocre piece of shock-value crap. Or not, if you're smart. BBFC Director David Cooke wasn't very happy that their attempt to force ( Read more... )

As some of you may have heard, New York's esteemed governor, Eliot Spitzer, was arrested on charges of soliciting prostitution after being caught on a federal wire tap hiring an "escort." He's being publicly shamed, his wife doesn't look like she's taking it all that well, and he's likely to be forced into retirement from media and political ( Read more... )

A recent Kotaku article debunked a fake PlayStation Store picture, and while the fakery is pretty obvious, what is also obvious is that people hate the PlayStation Store.

( It's not that bad, really. )

I remember as a kid loving the absolutely silly movies that channels like USA would show on their Up All Night program late at night. They had hilarious premesis, shoestring budgets and actors that would probably fail a high school drama class. However, their absolutely fantastical, off-the-wall plots would keep me enthralled from beginning to ( Read more... )

As some of you may have heard, a gamer had his signed Xbox 360 erased by the braindead morons at Microsoft tech support a few weeks back. Microsoft, slow as ever to handle anything that doesn't specifically deal with their poorly-designed piece of shit falling apart at the seams, eventually got around to promising to rectify the problem. As I ( Read more... )
