Rockstar Games’ Hot Coffee scandal is something of a classic debate among myself and some of the staff writers. Long before that in the summer of 2005, I waged war against two good friends (and even better gamers) about the topic. We spent the last hour and a half of work arguing about …

Review - Manhunt 2
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008 by christianReview - Guitar Hero 3
Thursday, November 1st, 2007 by christianGuitar Hero 3 does a lot to make me question game reviews. Or should I say, it brings to light many of their problems.
As I expected, it loses out with much of the standard, value driven review sites. While it stays afloat in many reviewer’s minds by adding online multiplayer and more …
Review - Metroid Prime 3
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007 by horatioThe moment I saw it at E3 I knew it would be one of the Wii’s killer apps. If you read any of those lesser video game sites around you know that their reviews have borne my predictions out. This review then is not meant to tell you whether or not you should buy this …
Review - Mario Party 8
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007 by zenstraboMario Party 8 is great for those who love board games, but don’t have a properly calibrated floor to play one on. I was so bored playing the required 80 hours of remedial shoots and ladders needed to unlock all of the party games that I started to appreciate Warhol’s “Sleep”. The party games combine …
Review - Madden 08
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 by zenstraboThe Madden Curse Comes to the Wii
For years we’ve seen each Madden cover supermodel fall to the “curse” of becoming overpaid, injured and irrelevant. And just as eerily, the infamous curse is plaguing the upper right corner of its cover as well.
I know I’m supposed to unconditionally lower my expectations for the Wii’s substandard graphics …
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition - Mini-Review
Monday, June 25th, 2007 by mattZOMG, I love Resident Evil 4. It’s damn-near my most favirotest game evar. If I could, I would cuddle with it:) And after putting in over 10 hours of delicious zombie(?)-filled action with the Wii Edition last weekend, I decided to write a review for it, to show you guys how much I like you….
Review - Metal Slug Anthology
Wednesday, May 30th, 2007 by christianOld games don’t stop aging, and when they get old enough anniversaries are certain to pop up. These are great opportunities for everyone in gaming. Publishers get a fantastic excuse for re-releasing old games from dead platforms, and despite what message board all-stars will tell you, gamers can also benefit from these “franchise-milking …
Review - Godfather: Blackhand Edition
Tuesday, April 10th, 2007 by christianThere seems to be a belief among some third party developers that in order to make a Wii game, it is essential to attach meaningless gestures to everything you do. The best example is Red Steel, which forces the player to drag and drop icons on the main menu or shake the remote several …
Best Game Ever / Review - Dragon’s Trap / Curse
Thursday, April 5th, 2007 by jayIt’s somewhat bizarre that my normally useless extensive knowledge of the Sega Master System would come in handy because a Turbo Grafix 16 game is released on the Wii. But despite the comical circuitousness, I happen to know a thing or two about Dragon’s Curse. You see, as far as Master System games go, …
Review - Wario Ware Smooth Moves
Monday, March 19th, 2007 by chuckWario Ware Smooth Moves for the Wii – In playing this game I discovered a maxim that holds true. In observing my personal failures and some of my friend’s successes in playing the Wario Ware mini games, I discovered this: The extent to which you are good at Wario Ware is the extent to which …
