I don't know what asshole at Nintendo thought it would be a good idea to keep all of their products in short supply, but that dude needs to be fired. I understand the concept of perceptual demand, but this is ridiculous. I can forgive them if it is hard to find a Wii, or even a Wii Fit, because after...

To put it succinctly, if you like racing games, GRID is a must-buy. If you don't like racing games, GRID is still most likely the game for you. It is the kind of racing game that even people who hate racing games will love to play. If you were to have the PGR and Burnout family lines cross to form an...

I don't know what the hell is going on with modern game design and aesthetics. Remember those days when you'd turn on a video game, and it truly felt like you were being transported to another world? I remember having feelings of happiness playing games like Duke Nukem 3D or Mario64. Even with their...

We posted a Gears of War 2 Wishlist some time ago, and now it appears as though some of our dreams might actually be coming true! The first wish to be partially granted was the confirmation of 4 player co-op (part of wish #1, originating video here ). This is great news and it's nice to see Epic following...

Ok, we usually try to stay out of the fanboy pits of hell, but a lot of shit-talking has been circulating the various blogs recently, and they pretty much all say the same thing: Sony is worthless. First, Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg called Sony out , and I must say we have to applaud him on that one...

Back in the day, before the rise of the First Person Shooter genre, when console machines still had pixelated graphics and crappy sound, discerning gamers who demanded more had only one place to go: The PC. The PC was light years ahead of consoles when it came to complex games, graphics, and sound. Nowadays...

We've done enough bitching about GTA IV's shortcomings . Regardless, we can't help but point out 3 really annoying flaws in this game that need fixing. Even if Rockstar doesn't get around to fixing the issues we've mentioned previously , I really really really hope they at least fix these bugs in Grand...

This bug is pretty huge (probably the biggest in a list of issues with multiplayer). In Grand Theft Auto IV, the co-op mode called Bomb the Base II is basically unplayable (Xbox 360 version, not sure about PS3). If you have more than one person playing (say, you and a friend), each of you get a limited...

I've spent a considerable amount of time with Grand Theft Auto IV, and I think it is probably the best game I've played in a very long time. We aren't even bothering to write a single player review because there are dozens out there, and the Metacritic score speaks for itself. I can assure you that aside...

The first gears was an amazing game… the single player experience was great, with enough variety and story elements to satisfy almost anyone. Yeah, it was short, but it was very sweet, like a rich dessert. Epic also nailed how a co-op experience should be… jump right in to your buddy’s...
