I’ve been playing a lot of Darksiders the past couple of weeks taking a whirlwind tour through post-apocalyptic Earth as War, one of the four Horsemen.  Along the way I’ve killed many the demon, rode many the mile and amassed a collection of armaments and weapon enhancements to make Kratos proud.  I found the game […]

I generally would play Guy. Occasionally, Haggar. In this version, you’re fighting Skeletons and Mongols instead of gang members. […]

Most game settings are just fluff. Even some of the games I really like have dreadfully generic settings. When you read about Borderlands, the description of Pandora sounds really interesting.

For me, 2009 was like eating at a good buffet: chock full of tasty selections, comfort food and some guilty pleasures you just can’t resist. Let’s see what was on the menu for this year! Appetizers Trine – Although this is a very meaty dish for a downloadable game, it was still over with a […]
