I’m a hockey fan. It’s probably the only sport I enjoy watching. I also happen to be one of those new age hippies that doesn’t pay for cable or satellite… streaming content is the only thing I care about. I am not interested in paying for channels that do not interest me, so I don’t [...]
Console gaming headsets are in a weird place. On one hand, they’re relatively cheap and plentiful. On the other hand, that low price point means the drivers inside aren’t great. Hardware manufacturers like to cover this up with bass response, the PX21 set is no exception. Though I don’t think you can even find a headset [...]
There are a lot of choices when it comes to playing fighting games at home. You could go with the full Arcade experience and buy your own Street Fighter cabinet, or maybe you just want the joystick portion. Maybe though you’re more like me; too cheap even for the MadCatz fighting sticks. Though most of the [...]
Katamari Forever Preview for the PS3 from 1UP.com.
Everyone is a fan of Zombies, and some people are in the Scott Sharkey fan club. What you get when you combine the two? A review of Burn Zombie Burn! over at 1up: Burn Zombie Burn gets straight to the damn point. There are zombies. You burn the holy screaming hell out of them. Then, [...]

After the break witness the continuing genius of Keita Takahashi as his original idea is raped yet again to produce another sick lovechild on the PS3.
(Wait, that’s for the wrong game…) Capcom‘s let the cat out of the bag about the Street 2 (or for those of you unhip: Super Street Fighter 2) Turbo HD Remix’s patch that should fix issues (and rumored trophy/achievement support for the PS3 version). The patch for the PS3 version should hit around 3AM EST/12AM [...]

3 On 3 NHL Arcade is the first PSN game I’ve tried where the demo version converts to the full version with just a token download. It is also fantastic with just a few minor nitpicks, and one big one. Minor: Your teams, while easily distinguishable, are just red/blue. So you can’t pick the Flyers [...]

After setting up an EU PSN account, I downloaded the Killzone 2 demo and here are my quick-take impressions as posted on my twitter feed: the killzone 2 menus are neat “Unass this thing” Really? yay, kz2 lets you remap controls so I can use my RealTriggers™ I can’t make crouch a toggle, wtf? KZ2 [...]

Many folks are like me, unwilling or unable to pre-order Killzone 2 from Gamestop in order to get the Killzone 2 demo. For whatever reason, here are step-by-step instructions for setting up an EU PSN account so you can download that demo without pre-ordering the full game: Create a new e-mail address from any free [...]

Most people would probably expect the Dual Shock 3 to be the best of both worlds; the useless wobbling from the SIXAXIS™ disaster, and the great design and heft of the Dual Shock 2. Unfortunately, someone at Sony forgot to fix the triggers (R2, L2) for first person shooters. Most likely they don’t understand why [...]

Dear Horror Games, You’ve got Audio sliders for volume levels, and difficulty sliders for difficulty levels. Why not Horror sliders for Horror levels? So if I’m about to go asleep, I can turn it from bleeding-walls and scary little girls to flowers and puppy dogs? Other than that, the FEAR 2: Preposterous Subtitle Demo on [...]

Little Big Planet has recently captured my attention by being the most inspirational & creative game of 2008. Let me explain. I first gave LBP a shot during the beta. During which I had fun but wasn’t sure how polished the final product would be. The user-created content was a chore to trawl through for [...]

Having completed Mirror’s Edge I can confirm that indeed the plot continues on as if it were indeed created by the same creative forces behind Robocop 3. The ending is trite, and ridiculous considering the circumstances. I can, without spoiling anything, say that you have a tender moment with someone on top of a building [...]
