Hey Duders! On a bit of a nostalgia kick lately, but as I sat down to boot up Earthbound on the Wii U Virtual Console I had a question burning in the back of my mind. Do I seriously have time to play this? Admittedly the amount of games I am able to play through has drastically decreased since beginning my teaching career 3 years ago. I manage to keep up to date with the hits, but recreational...

This year has been an odd year in gaming. Since the launch of the Playstation 4 my interest in gaming has decreased drastically. I purchased a tonne of games, and finished a couple, but I am increasingly becoming less satisfied with the experience. I find myself turning to the Wii U for fulfilment. This year countless launch day disasters, disappointments, and sub-par HD re-releases have plague...

Kieran here with your March 2013 Playstation Plus update! PlayStation 3 Spec Ops: The Line Spec Ops: The Line is a narrative-driven modern military third-person shooter set in Dubai during the aftermath of a series of destructive sandstorms. Reviewed by Jeff Gerstmann June 29, 2012 Metacritic score: 77 Check out the Quick Look (Xbox360): Joe Danger 2: The Movie The sequel to Joe Danger, featuri...

Did not realize how short this game was. I enjoyed my time with it. Going to wait a little while before I go back and complete the second quest. I might pick up Zelda II over the next few days, but that could lead to me trying to complete the whole series, and that could be a costly venture. I've played the majority of the games in the series, but it would be nice just to slog through them all...

Well it is 2013, and that means a whole new year of gaming is ahead of me. Started off this year playing a lot of Call of Duty Black Ops II. I am really digging the campaign so far. The changes they made to the story structure is a welcome relief and I look forward to playing that more. I picked up The Legend of Zelda for my 3ds, and I am almost finished it already. I may tackle the second ques...

Enough is enough. I love video games, I love writing, so I am gonna review some damn games.

Tutorial Complete. Class Chosen: Pyromancer Item Chosen: Master Key After watching Giant Bomb's Quick Look of Dark Souls and the first part of IGN's Dark Souls' marathon I found the tutorial rather easy. Lucky for me I stopped watching shortly after that section. One thing that I did stumble upon though was the giant crows nest and the eggs asking me for something warm and something soft. Puzzl...

As part of Giant Bomb's blog initiative...jesus.. I can't believe I am saying this... I will be blogging my way through Dark Souls so other users can follow along, make fun, add suggestions, or just laugh at my misfortune. I will try and get a few videos at key stages of the game to demonstrate my frustration. Should be a laugh... any thoughts?

Who cares. Despite the fact that these games are completely different there has been a strange lust for people to try and pick sides and defend their game. Of course, they are both dark fantasy so comparisons are gonna be inevitable, but the amount of tension people bring to either side is pretty sad. Hell, why can't we all celebrate the fact that there are two high profile dark fantasy games c...

I believe that there is a tremendous amount of hype surrounding this game... You have to give Dennis some credit for putting his reputation on the line like that it takes some serious bawls. I played the demo thought it was alright but I doubt I would invest time and money towards this experience because there are better games to be playing.

I got my first Platinum trophy today for UNCHARTED.

Lets just get this out of the way. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is amazing. Metal Gear 4 does not simply tack a new story over the same style of game play, instead Kojima productions took a risk and reinvented (not fundamentally) how we play Metal Gear. The controls are tighter then past iterations of the series and a controllable camera make for an intuitive experience. The player...
