As the weather warms up (it is gonna warm up, right?), minds turn to thoughts of baseball. Peanuts, hot dogs, Cracker Jacks, sushi, Ferris wheels — it’s all part of the modern baseball experience. Also part of that experience is staying home on the couch and playing a baseball video game instead. “MLB 13: The … Continue Reading →
Now that the election is over, it’s time to stop posting political rants on Facebook and play more video games. To help with that effort, this week’s giveaway is a sporty new title for the PlayStation 3, “Sports Champions 2.” Grab your Move controller (or controllers) and try your hand at skiing, tennis, boxing, bowling, … Continue Reading →
I’ve never been much of an artist with paper and pen. I can do better than stick figures, but not a whole lot. Still, I like things that encourage creativity. And using a video game to do that is great. So I was pleased to give the revamped THQ uDraw tablet a try when they … Continue Reading →

Shadows of the Damned doesn’t take itself too seriously. This is a good thing. Much like Bulletstorm, the humor and violence in Shadows of the Damned is absolutely for adults. The script and setting or SotD are straight-up homages to the Grindhouse genre of horror films. The main story echoes that of Dante’s Inferno from … Continue Reading →
Continuing the story of Cole McGrath, inFamous 2 brings the city of New Orle- – sorry, New Marais – to life with phenomenal art design and some really fun platforming and combat.
