Tony Hawk? Who is Tony Hawk? If it was up to Electronic Arts, his name would probably be stricken from skateboarding history, because the game developer would much rather you subscribe its Skate franchise of skateboarding games. The latest entry into the Skate series is Skate It, a game that will is destined for release [...]
Fallout 3. It’s out, but is it worth it? Despite the fact that this is my first experience with a Fallout game, I was completely enthralled with story and game play, the plot of which I have been careful to barely mention at all. That said, I do not know if it is an experience [...]
StarCraft 2 is going to be mom-friendly. Hardcore players are probably going to be reeling away from that statement, but it’s true. Speaking to MTV Multiplayer, the game’s producer made it clear that although Starcraft II was intended to please the hardcore audience that still flocks to the original game for its strategic depth, some [...]
In general, downloads through the Xbox Live Arcade are kept to a relatively manageable file size. It doesn’t matter if you’re grabbing a track pack for Rock Band or a retro-inspired hit like Mega Man 9. However, the arrival of Portal: Still Alive could be setting one massive precedent.

Hot on the heels of the full band Guitar Hero World Tour, Activision has released some news about an upcoming rhythm game for the Nintendo DS. The original Guitar Hero On Tour has been a surprise hit and Activision/Neversoft is following up on that success with Guitar Hero On Tour Decades. As its name implies, [...]

As you know, World Tour is the first in the Guitar Hero franchise to feature instruments beyond the guitar. You [...]
From a gamer’s point of view, October is one hell of a month. Why? On the handheld side, there’s Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. I’ve already written my impressions about the game, but if you want full reviews, you can go here and here. Believe me, I wanted to write one myself, but work got in [...]
It’s standard practice for MMORPGs to create in-game holidays to match real-life ones. Such is the case with Hallow’s End, the annual celebration of Halloween in World of Warcraft. Players have gotten used to the “terror” caused by the Headless Horseman, the costumes, candy and pumpkin heads scattered all over Azeroth and Outland. This year, [...]
I think I was still in diapers when Risky Business first hit theatres. I think that a lot of people interested in this game weren’t even born yet when Tom Cruise slid across the living room on his socks. As a result, the reference may fly over the head of some of Neversoft/Activision’s target demographic. [...]
Even though this update was announced over a year and a half ago, it has yet to see the light of day. I’m a fighting game fanatic, so I thought that Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix was going to be pretty awesome. Yes, it’s an old game that’s been jazzed up with new [...]
