The Games of Fall
Ahhhh...September is finally here, nights are starting to get shorter and cooler weather will soon follow. Along with that comes the beginning one of the most anticipated few months of game releases in the history of gaming itself. The number of top tier games getting ready to flood our xbox's, playstation 3's and PC's is almost too much to fathom, but we must suck it up and prepare ourselves for one busy, busy few months …[Read More...]
Early thoughts on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
When news first surfaced of a new RPG called Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning the first thing that jumped out at me was the name Kurt Schilling. Of course, Schilling made a name for himself as an outstanding pitcher in Major League baseball, most notably for the Boston Red Sox, but to see his name associated with gaming peaked my interest. He is the founder of 38 Studios, the studio involved in building this new epic RPG …[Read More...]
Gears of War 3 preorders: 1 million and counting…
The word out today is that Gears of War 3 has officially reached 1 million pre-orders...and we still have 4 months left before release date. It is truly amazing that so many gamers are as excited about this game as I am. Not only is Gears 3 the fastest game to ever reach that many pre-orders, but I'm willing to bet that come September this game if going to break the all-time sales record for a single day purchase of a …[Read More...]
Big Expectations in 2011 for the PS3
This year could be the biggest year that Sony has had yet. In fact, it just may rocket forward the momentum that has been building for the Playstation 3 since 2008 and its release of a few big exclusives. That is of course, as long as Sony’s big exclusives perform up to the hype that they have been gathering lately. 2008 came with a monumental release of LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4 which set …[Read More...]
How is the Move Doing?
Playstation Move surpassed the 4 million mark in sales this past November since its release as opposed to Xbox’s Kinect reaching 2.5 million. The numbers are strong and show that the new offering is doing well so far. What makes the Move so special is the fact that the hardware and technology behind it is basically a Wii on steroids. With the combination of the wand, the eyetoy, and the extra waggle stick, the Move can …[Read More...]

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm quick look
It is certainly no secret that the new World of Warcraft expansion Cataclysm is set to hit stores on December the 7th. WOW fans have been clamoring for this since they defeated the Lich King for the umpteenth time. But, for all the extra content that the last expansion Wrath of the Lich King brought to the table it pales in comparison to what awaits players in Cataclysm. This is THE expansion that WOW junkies have longed …[Read More...]

Assassins Creed: Brotherhood Review
Assassins Creed 2 was definitely a large leap from the first assassin’s creed. Ubisoft made quite a few groundbreaking innovations to the series. Brotherhood, on the other hand, does not quite live up to the number of innovations that 2had. Don’t get me wrong, Brotherhood is a great game and the new mechanics in the game spice things up and give a fresh look at the story of Ezio. To start things off the assassin’s …[Read More...]
Kinect Sells 1 million in 10Days
Microsoft announced that the Kinect had sold over a million units since its release a little over ten days ago. This is a staggering number since many outlets reported low video game sales over the last couple of months, and speculated that the economy was starting to hit the video game market. This is also setting a pace that the Kinect will sell 5 million by the end of the year! I guess people were not poor they were …[Read More...]
Xbox LIVE games on your phone!
Although that sounds awesome (Halo on my phone how cool would that be!)..well its really not the case. So here is the scoop Microsoft just released there Windows Phone 7 to all AT&T/T-mobile customers. The phone is very similar to other smart-phones in a lot of aspects i.e. Apple Iphone, Android, and Blackberry. The main thing that really sticks out is the main screen has a "Tile" as Microsoft calls it that has a …[Read More...]
