Editorial: Games are Too Long

By Ethos
But hey, I

Two nights ago I finally finished Tales of Vesperia. And while I’ve only had a 360 for about 6 months, I had ToV before any other game for the system. In fact, I bought the special edition a few months before I even owned the console. Anyway, I had some fun with the game, and [...]

Review: Watchmen: The End is Nigh

By Riddles

Many may view an action game wearing the Watchmen name with skepticism, and this is certainly understandable. Alan Moore’s original 12-issue series, published by DC comics in the late 1980s, hardly conformed to norms of the superhero genre. To a slightly lesser extent, this holds true for Zack Snyder’s recently released film adaptation as well, [...]

By Ethos
Action Packed

Halo, whether you love it or hate it, is a phenomenon in the gaming industry. It single-handedly sparked Microsoft‘s success in the race against Sony and Nintendo, and many argue it was the first truly successful first-person shooter on a console.

Editorial: Super Metroid

By Vortex

Classic: gamers throw this word around far too often. I want to spend the next few weeks talking about what I consider to be classic games. Many of the games written about will be old, however I want to pose the following question: does a game have to be old to be considered a classic? [...]
