A console’s controller is how you interact with your games. It’s often an extension of the character you’re controlling on screen. It’s how you physically feel connected to the games you play. So the controller should be of good, if not great, quality, right? Aside from a junk d-pad, the Xbox 360 controller was widely considered the best of last generation, if not ever. Through the hundreds, po...

After playing Forza 4 for two years I had 42M credits. I felt like I had all the cars I wanted in my garage and then some, yet I played the game so much I still ended up with an abundance of credits. This was mostly from multiplayer too, because after 100%-ing Forza 3 I barely touched F4’s single player. I have no doubt the same will be the case in Forza 5. Even if the borked multiplayer system...

As sleep eludes me this night before Dragon Age 2 is released a random thought popped into my head; why I love Bioware. I figured I would jot my thoughts down hear for others to read as they come to me. I apologize in advance, as these are not planned out in any sort of order and it's nearly 3 am as I start this. In a way I'm missing out a bit in DA2. I never played the first game you see. I sa...

So this is like Hot Pursuit 2 + Burnout 3: Takedown. No lie. I could probably just end it there, but I'll go on a bit more. I've played it for about an hour and a half now. A handful of racer events, and a handful of cop events. It's been so very long since I played HP2 but the Racer races seem like they're out of HP2, but with the new stuff in there (not a bad thing). The rest of the game seem...

Okay, I just saw the tv commercial edited version of the launch trailer. I'm officially hyped for this game. Yay for PR blitzes. About a month ago I figured I would just wait until Christmas to get this game. Last week I figured, yeah, I'll probably be getting it on Tuesday. Now there's not a chance in hell I won't be getting it tomorrow. Be it bad publicity or good, this game is getting a good...

I'm oh so very tempted to use a guide with this game. I'm what you would consider a slow individual. Not stupid (in... most cases), but it takes me longer to realize something than others. Therefore, I can't really be arsed to stare at one section of a level for an hour and make no progress. I still find it to be a magnificent game though.

So the second update for Burnout Paradise is FINALLY here for the 360 (well, in like 12 hours). Ever since the second delay I've been giving Criterion crap for developing on the PS3 and just making sure it doesn't red ring the 360. Obviously this isn't the case, but two updates in a row? Something fishy is going on. However, without anymore details, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the d...

Final Fantasy. Choo Cobo games? Riiiiiight...

Retroactive updates. Not that I'm complaining about getting ridiculous amounts of points for things that were on a page before, but I'm constantly having to reinput information that was deleted when someone submitted a typo fix a few days ago. This may also lead to giving the mods the ability to manually dish points out, instead of things being character based as they are now (multiple instance...
