20 Jun 2011Look, I won’t lie. There’s been a lot of confusion about this since the news first hit. So let us spell it out for you. It started with a employee blog for a Japanese game retailer noting that a new Playstation 3 is set for release. The new model — CECH-3000B — reportedly will start [...]

31 Mar 2011I didn’t see Gears of War 3 at PAX. Nor did I see LA Noire, Mortal Kombat, or Portal 2. I stood in line for half an hour to see The Old Republic, but ultimately I abandoned ship on that one, so I didn’t see it, either. Could I have seen these games? Sure. They [...]

12 Mar 2011Hey, StarCraft fans, you know how awful it was to wait for the sequel to be released? While strategy games have never really been my thing, I’ve had to wait almost as long for a sequel to American McGee’s Alice, and now that the wait is almost over, I confess, I feel your pain. Alice: [...]

11 Mar 2011I actually didn’t even have the upcoming Housemarque-developed, Ubisoft-published platformer Outland on my radar until I happened to pass by and notice its distinctive visual style, which intrigued me enough to go in for a closer look.
