I don’t know if any of you keep up on football or not, but Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre has been dominating the headlines over the past couple of months. From talk of coming out of retirement to playing for a different team, all eyes have pretty much been on him. Well the dust [...]

I generally try to stay on top of things when it comes to the components in my gaming rig. I usually try to buy a new graphics card once, maybe twice a year, and generally don’t go for the top-of-the-line card. Despite generally being up-to-date, I really haven’t considered purchasing a separate physics card, even [...]

I’ve questioned the logic behind Activision’s choice to call Guitar Hero III “Legends of Rock” due to the lack of actual legends. This has become even more apparent with all of the rock legends showing up in the fourth installment of the game. We’ve found out that yet another huge name will be appearing as [...]

So we know that Microsoft has rolled out a new Xbox 360 SKU with a bigger hard drive. That 40 extra GB of storage is great and all, but is there anything else that makes the console worthwhile? What if I told you that this one might actually be less likely to RRoD? That just [...]

GameTap is one of those services that I never got around to using. I totally get the idea of playing old games on my PC, however, I prefer to actually own the games I play. If there’s an older game that I really want to play, I tend to just head down to GameXChange or [...]

Grand Theft Auto IV was easily one of the biggest titles to get released on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 this year. Since its release people have been wondering when (yes when, not if) the game would be released for the PC. In a (not so) shocking move, Rockstar has announced the release of [...]

Back in the late 90’s the Nintendo 64 was still a hot console with quite a few awesome games in its library. One of my favorites was GoldenEye, which still remains one of my favorite first person shooters to date. Sure, the game is a bit dated, but I still bust it out from time [...]

Back when the original Rock Band was announced for the Wii, there were many people upset by its limited features, and rightfully so. Essentially the Wii version was the same as the PS2, which meant you could get the same experience on a console that was 8 years old. Well fear not rock fans, this [...]

I’ve always been a bit bummed out when I hear that developers decide to tone down on a game’s gore and violence simply to get a lower game rating. However, Epic Games has decided to go a different route to get parents to pick the game up for their kids.
Rather than removing the gore and [...]
