All reviewsOlliOlli 2: Welcome to OlliWood2015
5 out of 5 starsTime. Is there a more pure metric of love than time? All gamers know what it feels like to fly close to the sun - the excitement, the elation, the entrancement - when it's new, yoo hoo, when it's old... mold . The honeymoon phase can be a real phenomenon. But what about those games that truly stand the test of time? OlliOlli 2: Welcome to OlliWood was released just over 2 years ago today. It is on a very small list…
Valiant Hearts: The Great War2014
4 out of 5 starsValiant Hearts is a World War I puzzle adventure game with an elementary school approach to education. It's simple, clean and very straightforward. Historical facts abound through hidden collectibles but the focus of the game is the human relationships in the middle of the war. And not necessary those of the "main" characters - no, Valiant Hearts is just about relationships in general. Well, relationships during a…
DmC Devil May Cry2013
4 out of 5 starsYes, the sound effects and reload animation for this Shotgun is exactly the same as in DMC. That's what you call attention to detail kids. Also, love. Also, crazy. DmC Devil May Cry comes with my full recommendation to character action game fans who have history with the series and also those looking for a way into the genre. DmC isn't especially challenging until the later, unlockable difficulties, and is I think a…
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow2010
2 out of 5 starsThe writer was inebriated during the writing of this document and cannot be held responsible for its energy. Castlevania is one of those franchises. As of the date of this writing, it's still hard to imagine a world where the franchise isn't important to games, regardless of its general absence from the big-budget 3D space. When Lords of Shadow was announced, there was much collective anxiety abound - of course…

Metal Gear Scanlon is a Giant Bomb video series that follows Drew B. Scanlon's quest to play the core games of the Metal Gear Solid series (1, 2, 3, 4), a plot hatched by none other than Daniel J Ryckert. Drew has zero experience with Metal Gear Solid.

Backlog CatchUp: Lords of Shadow, Ni No Kuni, Last of Us, DmC and SMG
Jan 16, 2014
So I been playing games. Ever since big daddy PS4 came home and took the spot in the big TV room, ye old PS3 has been relegated to "The Office". And by office I mean room-where-I-do-most-of-my-playing-because-no-one-is-watching-Netflix-there. Through a twist of fate I also discovered a dusty ass Wii in the office. Oh and there's a PC there too! Long story short, instead of playing shiny new PS4...
PS4 Day One! (Set Up Woes, Dat Controller, Resogun, Warframe)
Nov 19, 2013
So after a wee bit of shipping troubles my launch PS4 arrived yesterday, Monday November 18. Not counting handhelds, this is my 12th console, but only the 5th I picked up at launch (GC, PS2, PS3, 360). I'm a big, big lover of the launch - no , I don't need any software to justify my purchase. Since I've been gaming in 1990 I really can't remember very many years that didn't see the release of s...
the game always holds up... sometimes the playa don't
Aug 19, 2013
For too long now there has been an idea spreading, and this idea is that games age out, and become no longer awesome. It's one thing to say a game's old graphics make it unplayable (you know who you are, you sonsofbitches) but it's another thing entirely to insult the integrity of its design. Facts aren't a nebulous concept that applies to half of this thing and half of that thing, no - a fact...
Music of the Day: Moroder's Good Old Germany (Best of a Young G)
Jun 8, 2013
Music of the Day Music Blog Volume 1 Since Giorgio Moroder has been (re)introduced to so many people recently I thought I'd take the opportunity to share some of my favorite tracks and reflect on how awesome he is. Good Old Germany & The Best of Young Giorgio: A Young G Rises Long before he was a half-robot genius, Giorgio Moroder exhibited a penchant for dark synth and bass and a general tende...
Simple game? Or shocking simulation of life? Douche Defender Review
May 23, 2013
I told a special amigo I would post this review last night (sorry boss) , but since the Douche Defender page is still pending approval from our moderators, I've decided to blog it here in the interim, and maybe get a little more attention for this game. Very often Douche Defender feels like the videogames your mother warned you about. It’s a little bit like those old websites that still exist i...
