Velvet Assassin has been floating around on my radar for quite awhile so having an opportunity to get some hands on time with it was pretty exciting. The whole premise of the game is pretty cool where you are reliving the events that have ultimately led to your capture and you being on your [...]

Deadly Creatures – NYCC Hands On

Deadly Creatures – NYCC Hands On

Deadly Creatures was one of the games I was most excited to get some hands on time with. The idea of being cast as a scorpion or a tarantula as you fight through the desert from their perspectives pretty fresh and interesting. In the game you go back and forth from playing as the tarantula [...]

Red Faction Guerrilla – NYCC Hands On

During the NYCC we were only able to try out the multiplayer for the new Red Faction game, but if solid multiplayer is any indication of a good game than this one will be a front runner in 09. The devs I spoke to told me they’re treating this game like the true Red [...]

Yatterman Review

In 1977, there was an anime called Yatterman. In 2008, it was revived with a new anime series. Now, in 2009, the live-action adaptation comes out.
