All reviewsFar Cry 32012
3 out of 5 starsI had no frame of reference for what to expect from Far Cry 3, having never played the previous entries in the franchise. Like several series that were off my radar before it, the hype surrounding Far Cry 3 in late 2012 was too much to ignore. Claims of “Skyrim with guns” from the game’s marketing were enough for me to take a chance on it. The result is a game that succeeds in many aspects, but stumbles in an…
Sleeping Dogs2012
5 out of 5 starsSleeping Dogs (Xbox 360) I abandoned the open-world crime genre with 2004’s Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I became weary of the game half-way through (having played the two previous entries in quick succession) and completely passed on GTA IV. In 2011, Volition released Saints Row: The Third and completely renewed my interest in this type of game. Sleeping Dogs, much like Saints Row, was a surprise hit and had me…
XCOM: Enemy Unknown2012
4 out of 5 starsI downloaded a package of XCOM games during a Steam sale a few years back on a friend’s recommendation. He was adamant I would love the game, based on my enjoyment of another game he had introduced me to; Final Fantasy Tactics. However, I have difficulty going back to older games these days and I didn’t make it that far. Like Fallout before it, I needed an update of a classic PC series to understand the hype. Enter…
Assassin's Creed III2012
3 out of 5 starsMy expectations for Assassin’s Creed 3 were very high. A few shorts months ago I was trudging through Assassin’s Creed Revelations; the last entry in the main Assassin’s Creed franchise to deal with Ezio Auditore. Revelations gave an interesting closure to the characters of Ezio and Altair, but the familiarity of the experience wore on me. The promise of a new numbered entry in the series gave me the push I needed…

All articlesMy Summer with the Souls Series
Jul 20, 2013
During my summer gaming doldrums, I decided to work on my backlog. After enjoying The Last of Us, it was time to move onto the pile. I incorrectly decided to start with Dark Souls; a game I had purchased back at the beginning of 2012. Following up The Last of Us with Dark Souls had about the same effect as the night I watched Hostel followed by Requiem for a Dream. Suffice to say, I quickly rep...
Microsoft Points
May 3, 2010
So the deal of the week on XBL is Zombie Apocalypse for 400 Microsoft Points. I currently have 390 Microsoft Points. Shoot me in the fucking head please. Any news of the 400 point purchasing system coming to Canada? I know it recently hit the States and I'm wondering if any of you have found it better.
Diablo 3
Apr 19, 2010
I've been on Giant Bomb only a few months now and haven't seen much about this game on the site. I know updates are few and far between, but as one of my favourite franchises I was curious about how the Giant Bomb staff and the community feels about it. I'd like to hear about what people want to see out of the game and just any thoughts on it. I'm pretty excited about it and Borderlands and Tor...
Gears of War Books
Apr 14, 2010
I recommend reading Karen Traviss' Gears of War books; Aspho Fields and Jacinto's Remnant. They do a great job of filling in the story of Gears 1 and 2 if you're a fan. I just finished the first book and am in the middle of the second. Started reading after I saw the Gears 3 trailer.
