June 16th, 2009 · 14 Comments

After enduring all the hype and drama, Prototype is finally here. Some people love it, some people hate it, and a bunch just like to compare it to inFAMOUS on their way to the land of ignorance.

April 28th, 2009 · 18 Comments

If anything makes me miss my old Playstation 2, it would have to be the lack of straight up RPG’s available for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 (Wii…who knows?). Sure we have a handful of great RPGs, but years have gone by now; neither system is a baby anymore. So where the hell are [...]

The bloodiest crossover ever!

April 24th, 2009 · 7 Comments

April 13th, 2009 · 8 Comments
