Review: Killzone 2 for the PlayStation 3 Console - 9.9/10 Overall

At the end of the day, logic predicts that a game with an intense single-player campaign and a killer multiplayer element is a win-win situation in anyone's book. To be honest, Killzone 2's secret ingredient is the fluidity in gameplay that we have come to enjoy more than its graphical prow...

Top 5 Exclusive XBox 360 Games of 2009

I hope Conviction goes back to what worked with the series while in the meantime expanding on the excellent cooperative play seen in Chaos Theory. Conviction could be a huge exclusive for Microsoft if Ubisoft Montreal can prove that the delayed development was not wasted.

Will PlayStation 3 Become the Ultimate FPS Console?

Insomniac's initial effort, as good as it was, may not have been a "Halo killer," but the sequel most certainly is. Now, will there be a Halo 4? Even if there is, I will continue to give the edge to Resistance until I see something that changes my mind. After all, I was a little disappointed in Hal...

Split Screen Is Dying? Or Maybe It's Dead?

And when I’m talking about split screen, I don’t just mean any split screen. I’m talking about FOUR player split screen. Who’s bright idea is it nowadays to limit the split screen option to two. Two? I’m pretty sure I have more than one friend. I can understand two player co-op, but two player mul...

25 Reasons Gamers Annoy Non-gamers!

1. Halo is not a sport. Nintendo isn’t crazy. The controllers for the PS3 and Xbox 360 are unwieldy, especially for someone who last played a video game in the Pac-Man or Super Mario Bros. era. Manipulating it is a skill lacked by many, so why be annoyed at them?

The Xbox 360 glory days are over

It’s funny how this generation of game consoles panned out. Most analysts had figured that the PlayStation 3 would sell the most, followed by the Xbox 360, with the Nintendo Wii trailing up the rear. Turns out the opposite of that happened.

Why the X-Box 360 will win the Console War

According to Hirai, Sony is prepared to battle it out in a "marathon" race against Nintendo and Microsoft and he believes his platform has what it takes to win the day. Are Nintendo and Sony really willing to forego that opportunity and surrender to Microsoft? It certainly looks that way.

Why GTA IV Deserved the Hype and Halo 3 Didn't

But that’s the crux of the argument...GTA IV would eventually achieve monumental sales whether it was hyped or not; it simply would have taken longer. The game itself is the very definition of what every gamer should have been expecting since the Xbox 360 came onto scene as a "next-gen" consol...

Why Halo 3 and CoD4 Map Pack Pricing Makes No Sense

While both Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 have given gamers hours upon hours of entertainment, sometimes fragging people in the same setting can start to get a little stale. Lately, we’ve seen a couple of new maps packs released, the latest being the Legendary Map Pack for Halo 3, as well as the rece...

Wii attracts gamers outside the realm the Xbox and PlayStation

Given the sales prowess of the Wii, you might think that the only haters left are people with paychecks stamped "Microsoft" or "Sony." After all, the console sales data for October just came out this week, and Americans bought 518,000 Wiis, compared with 366,000 Xbox 360 systems and a meag...

Rumor 101: Peter Jackson’s Halo or Banjo Kazooie 3 Cancelled?

Halo Wars being canceled is a highly unlikely instance. "Halo” is Microsoft's luckiest word for god's sake. The game is already in the testing phases and was shown off at E3 2007. Fable 2 is also in rigorous development, with FF-XIII hitting the PS3 next year Microsoft would be really dumb eno...
