Another Final Fantasy gets a sequel

10 years ago it was blasphemous to even think that Square would revisit any of the characters or worlds from previous Final Fantasy iterations. Then came the new millennium and shortly thereafter we received the excellent FFX-2 as well as some Final Fantasy 7 spin-offs. Last year we received the critically thrashed Final Fantasy 13, and some thought that would be the last we saw of that ... Read More!

Fight Night Champion enters the ring…

Looks like we’re going to getting some more Fight Night courtesy of EA. They released the press release earlier today announcing their intentions to continue creating titles within this franchise and I certainly look forward to another opportunity to enter the squared circle.

Impressions: Vanquish (PS3)

This game can definitely be beat in probably 90min and then it would really feel like playing an animated movie. Vanquish was incredibly stylish and extremely satisfying gameplay wise. From a pure gameplay perspective, it’s a must play. A step above Bayonetta I’d say and maybe I’m bias because it’s more in my genre. It helped it reminded me of Zone of the Enders in ... Read More!

Review: Snakebyte XL Wii Motion Plus

The Snakebyte Wii Motion plus controller is one of the latest 3rd party controllers to be released in the wake of Wii Motion Plus. I don’t have any experience with any other products from Snakebyte, and really hadn’t heard of them before this product, but I have to admit that they have won me over with a very impressive and very competent product that certainly got the job done and did ...

Impressions: Easy A

I enjoyed this movie mainly because it was smart. This film was written with intellect. The only way it works is how it’s presented. In a first person narrative of events that have already happened and you learn how they happened and what came about because of it. You don’t know the full ending but you become invested enough to want to know what happens. It’s funny, Emma ... Read More!

Impressions: Season of the Witch

I think I have a guilty fetish of watching Nicholas Cage movies you know will be bad. It’s not to say Season of the Witch is terrible, but I just want to describe this fetish even more. Nicholas Cage is realistically and by pure math should be probably more miss, than hit, but nevertheless you keep watching him. My favorite movies of his are the National Treasure franchise, only ...

Phoenix and Haggar Join cast of Marvel vs. Capcom 3

I’m really starting to get excited about this game as Capcom continues to pummel us with more characters, screens, and videos of the latest additions to the cast. I was thinking about holding off on picking this game up because of the dust that’s being collected on my copies of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Street Fighter 4, and the dust on the store shelf that has the Super Street Fighter ...

I haven’t played Tomb Raider since the PS1 age but I’ve heard a lot of great things about the series once Crystal Dynamics took over from Core. I’d be interested in trying these games out if they come with a ... Read More!
