All reviewsL.A. Noire2011
4 out of 5 starsWhen someone tells you Rockstar Games is working on something new, assumptions are made, and in the past, have been mostly correct. Rockstar’s craftsmanship has flourished from their first encounter with open-world gameplay in Grand Theft Auto 3 . L.A. Noire breaks that pattern and offers a variety of drastically different mechanics that arguably counter the freedom of their past work. For the avid fans of the GTA…
Portal 22011
5 out of 5 starsSlight spoilers regarding the events of Portal. Also this review covers only the single-player experience. The co-op was unavailable to me at the time. I'll admit it. Offing multiple dudes with a variety of dangerous objects and guns can be very entertaining, but shotguns, machetes, rocket launchers, and plasma guns all do the job just fine--it's simply a matter of efficiency and pints of blood. Outside of that, the…
Alan Wake2010
4 out of 5 starsAlan Wake is not just the title of the game, it is a man grasping for answers throughout his frantic, foreboding search for his missing wife. As each hour passes by he tries to grab hold of his mind while it derails itself from sanity. He becomes tormented by the inhabitants of Bright Falls, a small town somewhere in the Pacific Northwest where he and his wife decide to take a short vacation. Alan Wake is by no…

All articlesRyan Davis and my father
Jul 8, 2013
I should've walked up to Ryan Davis and said hello last year at PAX, but I was too shy. Davis was a personality in my mind, a charming, affable personality that I couldn't believe existed in a real human being. He was the voice and the figure I had spent hours listening to and watching on Giant Bomb. I didn't want to ruin the image I had of him. My only interactions with him were small. He "blo...

Venturing into Unknown Territory: The Next-Generation of Consoles
Mar 25, 2011
The first of what I would call the “next-generation” consoles has officially hit the U.S. market this Sunday. Of course I’m talking about Nintendo’s newest foray into the third dimension, the Nintendo 3DS. The 3DS is the first Nintendo console that takes anything other than games seriously. It’s also the first system in a long time that attempts to break down the online multi-player boundaries...
Where do Wii go now?
Mar 16, 2011
Question: Do you think the Wii should go for a round two so to speak and catch up with its next gen contenders? Or should they just give up and try to make an entirely new system? Was it a failure? The Nintendo Wii is a perplexing system. On one hand it broke the controller-barrier we've had with games for years, and on the other hand it's last-generation material. If you ask any family out the...
My Commander Shepard is better than yours
Jan 1, 2011
The game of the year lists are out. The nominees have been argued, and the winners have been chosen. For most, this winner is Mass Effect 2 . Sequel to the well-received Mass Effect back in (if you can believe it) 2007. Mass Effect carries a very specific attribute that we’ve never had before. It’s not a game, it’s a world. When I say its a world, I mean BioWare handed us a universe expanding c...
