Retro City Rampage Review (PS3)

When I saw her, the first thing that went through my mind was that she doesn�t belong in a place like this. She�s leaning up against the bar, drink in hand and facing the crowd, oblivious to the mass of people. Her blood red dress contras...

NASCAR 2011: The Game - Review

I�ve driven on two NASCAR tracks in my life. And by driven, I mean I�ve sat in a car, pressed my foot to the ground, and went around those ovals as fast as my nerves would let me. The first time was at Richmond Raceway, a high banked oval...

 
 
 
 
 
 

Review: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (PS3)

(Please Note: I thought I had posted this months ago, but I was mistaken. I'm posting it now for the sake of completion.) The best part about video game conventions aren�t the games on the show floor, it�s the parties afterward where a b...

 
 
 
 

Gran Turismo 5 Review (PS3)

You really don�t have to go very deep to find the truth about someone. And because of that, no matter how much you change on the outside, the essence of you is still there. It�s a blessing and a curse, because it�s comforting to know that ...

Review : Gunnar Optiks Paralex

I have a big head. So when I was sent a pair of Gunnar Optiks eyeglasses to review, i was worried that I wouldn't be able to wear the 'Digital Performance Eyewear' without looking like a bobble head. Sure enough, Gunnars seem to be made fo...

 
 
 
 

Gridrunner Revolution Review (PC)

What's the one thing that will get you shunned? Gay, Straight, Black, White, Male, Female, Fat, Thin? No. You can be any of those and somewhere, there's a group that will accept you. The only crime that is truly considered a sin is being d...

King of Fighters XII Review (Xbox 360)

This year , I drove to the E3 Expo from Virginia Beach, Va to Los Angeles, California. The round trip took 6 days. When I think about the drive, I don't cut it in half with 'to' and 'back'. I see it as all one trek. Sitting alone in the ca...

 
 
 
 

Madden 10 Review (Xbox 360)

I should play football. That's what everyone said. In high school I heard the phrase enough times that I started to believe it. I should play football. Why not? I was a big, imposing guy. It was a small inconvenience that I never really p...

Raiden Fighter Aces Review [XBox 360]

Women say they're unattractive all the time. They do it to feel better about themselves. It's an old trick they've had in their repertoire for ages. Proclaiming to the world that they're too fat, having a bad hair day, not pretty enough, e...

 
 
 
 
 
 

NASCAR 09 Review [Xbox360]

Nascar 09 sucks. I hate it. I didn't like any of the previous Nascar games and I don't even like Nascar in real life so I can't explain why I walked out of Best Buy with the game in a bag. That's a lie. I know exactly why I bought it. Its ...

 
 
 
 

Race Pro Review (Xbox 360)

There's a difference in being beautiful and being pretty. Pretty is a commodity. It can be bought from a makeup counter or a lowcut dress. When it fades, you can replenish it via a plastic surgeon or strategic doses of alcohol. For games,...

Street Fighter 4 Review (Xbox 360)

There is something extremely satisfying about a well thrown punch. The feeling of contact between your fist and bone. The sharp snap it makes. The tinge of pain in your forearm from the shock of the impact. I'm not talking about just hitti...
