That was quick – Firmware 2.4
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008 by christianBad Company, good reviews for EA?
Monday, June 23rd, 2008 by christianRecently I played the single player demo of Battlefield: Bad Company. While opinions on the single player may be worthless for a game that everyone is anticipating for its multiplayer, such excuses don’t fly here at vl.
The fact is that Bad Company’s SP is the worst kind of worthless. It is a squad …
Review – Grand Theft Auto IV
Friday, June 20th, 2008 by christianWhen it comes to reviewing GTA IV, I am not even sure why we bother. We all know the game is going to sell more than anything else in 2008. We have all decided whether to buy it before reading reviews. Grand Theft Auto is such a part of our industry and …
….Metal Gear?
Thursday, June 12th, 2008 by christianFolks, it’s that time of the month. No not that; the monthly blockbuster is out. Hot off the heels of GTA IV, Metal Gear Solid 4 gives PS3 users a reason to rejoice. It also makes a hell of an excuse for me to finally pick up a PS3. I’m not …
Review – Call of Duty 2: Big Red One
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008 by christianI have a confession to make.

The next gen consoles then and now
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008 by christianFolks, it has been some time since the “next gen” was actually the next. I think it is about time to call it the current gen, and on that note, I think it is time to re-evaluate the three major players in the race. Much has changed, and my opinion of each console …
My First Import
Monday, June 2nd, 2008 by christianAs much as I love this hobby, the truth is I have never bought import games before. I’ve been given one (as seen in picture), and played quite a few, but never did I lay out my own cash. The main problem was finding a way to play them. I just didn’t …
Gametap tightens the faucet
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008 by christianAs reported by Game|Life, Gametap’s editorial website and video content is getting axed less than a year after it was started.
I have voiced worries about Gametap in the past, and this is another bad piece of news. The problem the service has is that it …

Sunday, May 25th, 2008 by christianA couple of things on my mind that I decided to condense into a tidy post for you to ponder over the weekend.
