There’s no other way to write this, other than to just say to you that I’m not going to be a host of the Red Show anymore. It’s time for me to move on. I’ve given up so much time doing this over the past two years. I’ve helped build this from scratch. From scratch.  [...]

Jack Thompson is the boogeyman of the video games industry.  At least, that’s how he’d like to be known, just ask him.  Now that he’s no longer a member of the Florida State Bar, he’s become an Internet tourist attraction. The worst part is that we, as video gamers, have supported websites that have used [...]

This is it. THE REVIEW.  No “is it racist?” talk here.  I’ll leave that to the people that have a much higher sense of self importance than me.  I’ll stick to reviewing the single player, Mercenaries Mode and leave the rest up to the “professionals.”
One star or two? Find out, after the jump.

After the jump is a 9 minute video.  Within it are several nods to the Half-Life universe.  What is it for and for whom was this video made?  I dunno.  My hope is that it’s some kind of viral marketing for Episode 3, but then again, it could just be a kick ass short video.

Rumors, lovely rumors.  On this slow news day, I thought I’d pass along two rumors from the same rumor well that brought you the Halo at E3 rumor that was correct, the Brash “Where the Wild Things Are” rumor that was correct,and many others.

Saul Johanssen, the oldest man in the United States, celebrated his 111th birthday last week in Sioux Falls, Idaho.  While this ordinarily wouldn’t be something that we at Sarcastic Gamer would give a crap about, Saul’s story does have a tragic gaming story to tell.
Saul still hasn’t received his copy of Shenmue II from Gamefly, [...]

Capcom.  I love Street Fighter IV.  Resident Evil 4 is one of my all time favorite games.  So, then, after I have defended you over and over with Resident Evil 5, are you now screwing me?
Why are you charging for multiplayer modes?  More after the jump.

A slew of demos have recently been released on both the Xbox 360 and PS3.  Games like Wanted, Wheelman, Assault on Dark Athena and Watchmen: The End is Nigh were all released last week.  I’ve played them all.  I liked some, but not all, but  one game in particular, could be a sleeper hit.
