Why Konami’s Metal Gear Solid 4 Should Be Multiplatform

So the wishful thinking begins again. You don’t have to wonder why so many Xbox 360 gamers would love Metal Gear Solid 4 to go multiplatform. The series has had a huge success on many platforms from MSX to the Xbox. Konami has made millions of dollars on this franchise but [...]


Which Console Won Christmas?

I made a prediction in an article back in October explaining my reasons why Playstation 3 will come in 3rd this holiday for sales.  I stated 5 reasons to back my claims and now that Christmas is over, we can revisit the sales of December to see who came in first, second and third.


Review: Godzilla Unleashed

There are times when being a reviewer is painful. Godzilla: Unleashed is probably my most painful moment. Why? Why abuse the Godzilla license in such a way? I am, admittedly, not a big Godzilla fan, but I know enough about the series to realize such a game definitely does not do him justice.

A Week In Fanboyism 12/23/2007

This week in fanboyism I looked at the HD format war.  It’s getting hot and heavy.  The Blu-Ray site got hacked, PS3 pundits are still claiming a Blu-Ray victory and HD-DVD is slowly chugging along like the little train that could.  There were some really dumb comments and forum posts this week but there were [...]


Xbox Live Down?

I’ve been trying to login to Xbox Live for several hours.  I cannot get in at all.  Anyone out there experiencing this too?  Well this proves to all the dumbasses that Microsoft DOES in fact control the Live servers.  Peer to Peer connections are only done in multiplayer games.  Once the handshake is done, the [...]

Review: Undertow (XBLA)

Chair Entertainment’s Undertow is an amazing little game. It’s not my favorite XBLA game ever, but it truly is something special. In a short download, a few megs, you’re getting a product that could totally have sold as a full-disk game in last generation - and been well-reviewed at that. This game [...]

Spongebob Squarepants Underpants Slam Hit’s XBLA 12/26/07

I’m a 37 year old man and I admit…I love Spongebob. I stayed far away from it during it’s climb to fame. I thought it was just another dumb kids show. One day my son was watching and I sat down with him. I was laughing harder than he was. [...]
