Final thoughts on my time with Sniper Elite V2 on the XBox 360

With everything once again right in the city of Dunwall, I’m hanging up my sword, gun, crossbow & special powers and calling it a day with Dishonored. Dishonored is a unique FPS in the fact that I felt a great …

In preperation for tonight's Playstation event I looked back at my time with Sony's gaming consoles from the PS1 to the PS Vita.

A spoiler-free recap of my experience with the Telltale game.

Still learning the ropes with what might be the PS Vita's greatest adventure.

The pun here is supposed to be 'Week In Gaming', but for the second time now I've only managed to power up my consoles on the 'actual' weekend. There just isn't enough time in my weekdays anymore as …

While cleaning out our basement I happened upon my Sega Dreamcast and just couldn't help take this much beloved console out for a spin. I have nothing but the fondest memories of this system which I picked up launch …

I've been singing the praises of Mark of the Ninja since day one, but if you still need convincing that this stealth action sidescroller is worth your gaming dollars then by all means read on.

Mark of …

I'll admit, I wasn't going to order this figure initially, but my Zelda fanboydom eventually got the best of me. I'm glad I did pick it up, because it's really an awesome addition to the collection. Plus, I thought …

Nothing like a holiday weekend to catch up on some gaming. Thanks to a few extra days off this weekend I managed to finish yet another fight, command troops against an alien invasion, return to high school, and take …

Now that Playstation Plus has finally opened it's doors to Vita owners I handed over my $50 entrance fee to Sony and joined the club. I had some reservations about doing so, but ultimately decided to to …

Been wanted to post a write-up of "The 31 Days of Zero Suit Samus" ever since it arrived at my door. I don't recall where or when I heard that this project was fundraising on Kickstarter, but once I …

Currently, I’ve managed to stave off my gadget envy in regards to the Nintendo’s 3DS. It wasn’t easy, but the combination of a lackluster launch lineup and my apparent inability to cope with the 3D effect ultimately kept my

If I judged Enslaved solely by its appearance, I never would have touched it. Right or wrong, the cover art just screamed, “Generic Action Game #47” to me. Enslaved’s high praise however reverberated loud enough that it drowned out …

Although I have yet to finish Valkyria Chronicles II, at 90hrs into the game I think it’s safe to say that I frackin’ love it! There’s so much going on in VC2 that it’s difficult to sum it up in …

(For the record: I played through Dead Space 2 twice:
First on Zealot difficulty using only the plasma cutter (12hrs 5min  to complete)
and second on Casual using the entire DS2 arsenal ( 6hrs 45min to complete)

Just finished my second play-through of Sega’s Vanquish, and man – what a ride. The game is an immensely enjoyable, fast & frantic, action packed third person shooter that just oozes with style.

On paper, Vanquish may have similar gameplay …

Finally wrapped up Dead Rising 2 this weekend. It took forever, but it was mainly my own fault. I kept restarting the story over and over as I leveled up, not making a proper go of it until I maxed …

Tomorrow I'll be heading out of town for a few days, and one aspect of traveling that I always look forward to is the uninterrupted-portable-game-time a flight offers. Sure, everything else about air travel pretty much sucks, but once I'm

I could go on about Crackdown 2’s shortcomings and disappointments, but despite all the issues hampering the game I still managed to have a great time with it. That has to count for something, right?

I’m not going to lie, I hated Red Dead Redemption when I first started playing it. I thought the game was slow, boring and that people in the west talked way too much. My plan was to …
