November 8th, 2011.  A day that will live forever in video game history. Why? Because a highly anticipated game based around everything from guns, items, war, stealth, story, and action was released for the first time in all HD glory. Promising hours of nothing but the highest entertainment value, who needs a modern war when […]

Alan Wake.  Whether you like it or not, this game deserves more recognition than it received.  Given the long development cycle and 360 exclusivity, Alan Wake isn’t the best game ever made but it certainly is not a bad game.  I enjoyed playing through to the end even though the ending was complete garbage.

One of the local Sears stores has had the same game “clearance” bin for about two years now.  I put the word “clearance” in quotes because it isn’t even clearance priced; everything is still normal price just labeled with a pink sticker to make it look like you are getting a better deal.  And because […]

Original Gameboy’s Donkey Kong, Tennis, Game & Watch Gallery 1, […]

The Wii isn’t exactly known for big selling and critically acclaimed 3rd party games.  Although rare, they are worth seeking out for the dying system. One of these games is Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles. Like the Wii’s version of Time Crisis with zombies, I enjoyed my time shooting at the screen going through a summary […]
