Some things in life are remembered long after we leave them: good friends and family members after they move away, a great movie, even a delicious meal. Games, on the other hand, have to be spectacularly remarkable to leave a long-lasting impression. It doesn’t necessarily have to do with the game itself, either, it might have something to do with who you were playing the game with at the time.... 

The viral commercials showed women who were being portrayed as actual “mothers” watching a video – one can only assume – of something horrific. The pure glare of horror bled through their eyes and jumped out of their emotion-filled body language as you watched their reaction to them watching what must be something so brutal, so inhumanely evil, one could only guess they were... 

The last game that physically took over my dreams and made me look at the world differently went by the name of World of Warcraft. I would drive down the freeway on my way to and from work and see a small shrub off to the side of the road and immediately think to myself “ooh, I bet I can gather that.” Realizing I wasn’t in the game made me feel foolish for a split second until I... 

The easiest way to define DC Universe Online (hereafter abbreviated as “DCUO“) would be to classify the game as a console-shooter in an open world environment. I’ve talked with friends who are deeply playing DCUO, and they constantly compare DCUO with World of Warcraft, which I can only assume would come naturally to anyone playing a multiplayer online game. I believe the two games... 

As someone who has enjoyed the entire Kingdom Hearts franchise, I was excited to see a giant banner at Wal-Mart pre-Christmastime for the upcoming sequel to the series. Granted, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 could have been a better game, however Re:coded is actually a remake of an older Japanese release of the game chronologically after the Kingdom Hearts 2 game. Even though I was hoping for something similar... 

As a child, my mother would go to yard sales during the summer and pick up all different types of old, discarded items from families of all types of life. She particularly loved finding patterns for sewing, which are small packages containing printed designs of clothing parts on tracing paper to create clothes. Most of my clothes I wore up until middle school were created using this process. I,... 

I sat wondering what my favorite films of 2010 would end up being and came up with a list that imitates everyone else’s 2010 favorite list: Toy Story 3, Inception, etc. I started thinking to myself, “Wait, this is the end of the decade, why not make a favorite movie list of the decade?” And sure enough, those are all over the internet also. After spending dozens of minutes snooping... 

Editor’s Note: Yes, Chris’s review makes all sort of references to the Christmas season and asking (or not asking) Santa for the game. Yes, we’re running the review in January. Chris is awesome and had this turned in well in advance of Christmas and some idiot editor lost it… until January. Commend Chris for reviewing games and support him in striking out against the evil incompetent... 

I should state directly up front: I didn’t care for Assassin’s Creed 2, due to the fact that I’m not a fan of the “sneaking-around” style of game play. I don’t have the patience for the style of game play. I didn’t care for Thief or Rainbow Six due to these similar effects. I can appreciate the design of the game and the artistic merit used to develop a... 

Dear Santa, I have been extremely good this year. In fact, better than last year with only four B&E’s, three DUI’s, two domestic assaults, and a partridge in a pear tree. In all seriousness, you can thank me later for putting the song deep in your gooey membranes, I would like to go over what I feel is this season’s “must have” in terms of technological gaming entertainment...
