All reviewsUnit 132012
4 out of 5 starsZipper Interactive's track record has been uneven at best since their Combined Assault SOCOM game on the PS2, and some would say even before then. There was a lot of positive reaction to MAG, but in a lot of ways it seemed like a game ahead of it's time on the PS3. SOCOM 4 was looked at unfavorably overall, and now with the launch of the PS Vita, they have released Unit 13, a game that feels and looks a lot like a…
Uncharted: Golden Abyss2011
4 out of 5 starsWith any new console, it's good to have at least one launch title that makes people look up and take notice. Uncharted: Golden Abyss was definitely that game for the PS Vita. Sure, you had Wipeout, Lumines, Ridge Racer, and a few other more niche titles, but at the end of day, most PS3 owners who have ventured into the world of Nathan Drake are going to be salivating at the idea of another adventure, and for good…
Wolfenstein2009
5 out of 5 starsI went into Wolfenstein with not a lot of expectations, after reading some pretty scathing reviews online for the game, with Jeff G's being one of the few giving me hope that this would be a decent followup to Return to Castle Wolfenstein. After hearing that it's not that hard, and assuming that reviewers were playing on normal, I figured I'd get my money's worth out of Raven's newest shooter, and picked Bring 'Em…
Left 4 Dead2008
5 out of 5 starsWhen I think FPS, I normally think 15-20 weapon types, at least half of them with an alternate firing mode, 15-20 minutes of mowing down the same enemy with a different hat, pants, or skin color over and over until you reach a room on the other side of the map with a guy in a wifebeater who can take 50-60 solid shots to the chest and head before he finally either dies or jumps in a chopper laughing and disappears…

All articlesPutting PSN/Sony-gate into perspective
Apr 27, 2011
Great article where you realize there are companies you probably haven't even heard of that have done worse. http://wikibon.org/blog/the-11-largest-data-breaches-in-recent-history/ The minute they officially brought down the entire PSN network, I assumed something bad was up. Yeah, it was bullshit that they waited days to inform people to that fact, but I think we all had a pretty good idea tha...
5 hours in, my initial thoughts on Fallout New Vegas
Oct 20, 2010
I put 200 odd hours into Fallout 3, it was an amazing experience, and I still go back into that world occasionally just to putter around. I still haven't beaten the last couple of pieces of DLC, I should definitely do that, but now there's Fallout New Vegas. I spent about 3 hours playing yesterday, and woke up 2 hours before I needed to leave for work this morning and jumped back in again. The...
Bobby Kotick - Master of Chest Beating and Idle Threats
Jun 19, 2009
Bobby Kotick is threatening to stop publishing PS3 games if Sony doesn't drop the price on the PS3 to up the attach rate for Activision games. Yeah, I'm sure Bobby is really going to dump publishing on a major gaming console, specifically the one that, to date, can't be pirated. I think Bobby's big concern is that, after buying a PS3, Joe Average isn't going to be too excited about throwing for...
No online support for Ghostbusters PC? And DRM'd up to boot!
Jun 13, 2009
http://www.ecto-web.org/~spookcentral/scblog/index.php/2009/06/10/ghostbusters-video-game-box-backs-specs Apparently if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Turns out Ghostbusters PC is (of course) DRM'd up. Also turns out it's stripped of the multiplayer component, which is an offense I cannot forgive. Good work Atari, you just lost my business as far as this game is concerned.
So excited about Ghostbusters on the PC
Jun 12, 2009
If you haven't seen the HardOCP video footage of Ghostbusters running on a quad core PC with a GTX 280, it's definitely worth checking out. Their engine scales "infinitely" based on the hardware and does all of the physics work through the CPU you're using which means that a high end quad core CPU or an I7 should kick ass in this game. Comparing this to some of the PS3/360 footage I've seen, I...
Mirrors, starring Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer as Ben Carson
Feb 27, 2009
I watched Mirrors last night, Unrated version, dunno what is different between it and the theatrical cut, but it's pretty good, generic at worst, but has a cool premise. While the ending seems tacked on, it was still worth watching. As a semi-fan of 24, it strikes me that Kiefer Sutherland in this movie is the equivalent of 24 if Jack Bauer was fighting demons. Not a bad thing, definitely a bet...
