Been a while since I posted, and I know, this is a bit of an odd game review to come back with but the company I rent games from have seen fit to send me all the bottom feeders on my rental list. First let me say, understandably, my expectations were very low for this [...]

Another belated review. After some scathing reviews from friends and the prospect of movie length cutscenes in between brief moments of actual gameplay I couldn’t bring myself to play this for a long time, even though the game was critically acclaimed. I also haven’t played Metal Gear Solid since the first release on the PS1 [...]

After finishing Killzone 2, I installed Fallout 3, resolved to get around to it (just can’t bring myself to play it for some reason, probably because I already know how much time I’ll need to plough into it) and also decided to polish up my Akuma combos in Street Fighter IV. I like to always have a backup game installed on the HTPC, just for something different. It will usually be games I’d consider mediocre or not receiving a lot of media attention so that I can see if they are diamonds in the rough. These games will usually be movie-to-game conversions.
