When people first hear the name “Crysis” involved with gaming, one of two impressions first pop into their mind: “level of detail,” and “high hardware requirements.” Crysis 2 expands upon these two facts by bringing us an amazing first person shooter (FPS) surrounded by highly detailed environmental effects and the ability to weave an invigorating and enveloping... 

The year of evil sequels are upon us. Is the magical land of Hollywood “out-of-ideas”: 27 Sequels are slated for 2011. According to Moviefone, these 27 sequels account for a 5th of all releases this year. Here’s the ones I’m fairly certain I’m never to see: First, we have Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Oh say it isn’t so!) and than we have the 4th iteration... 

I enjoyed playing the game Street Fighter IV to some extent, however not enough to shell out $60 to have a copy sitting on my shelf. Mortal Kombat, on the other hand, is one of the few games that rarely leaves the sheltered cozy confines of the old Sega Genesis wedged between the television and the wall. Sometimes if you catch the timing right, you’ll see a cat sleeping on it for some reason. Some... 

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... 

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... 

Most people I’ve talked to typically don’t read the first few paragraphs of reviews because the author seems compelled to write about their feelings and how they got to this stage in life and all that other nonsense. And since I’m no different then anyone else, I’m going to write about what I feel in the first two paragraphs as well. Now that the first paragraph was brilliantly... 

The PlayStation 3 was already the system to beat in many ways. Most people think it outsold the other two systems in previous years mostly because of its Blu-ray functionality. Even people who weren’t buying it for games would pick up the system as a nice Blu-ray player. Now, with a nice price drop, and an increasingly impressive selection of games, Sony is really moving in on the video game market....
