While it saddens me to say this, the project is currently on hold.  With Jake moving to Texas and my funding all but gone, we've put the project on hold.  However, We will continue to write out reviews for games we're playing and games we pick up as they come out.  Also, we're expanding our reviews to other systems, so it's not all about 360 anymore!  As I do the majority of my gaming on PC and

While I wasn't fortunate enough to go to PAX this year myself, I do have some friends over at Jupiter Broadcasting that were gracious enough to hook us up with some coupon deals from handouts this year.  I don't have expiration dates on-hand so use 'em while they're hot! PAX handout codes: Puzzle Bot for $5 bucks! Head to puzzle-bot.com and enter the code "puzzlepax" to get the game for 5

When it comes to sci-fi few things have made as much of a wake as Aliens and Predator.  The combination of the two has an amazing potential both theatrically and in the world of games.  The real question is does this game deliver is it just one more movie game with a low budget and tight deadline that misses out on the sci-fi goodness.  Read on to find out. The overall game has one fluid

After playing games like Afro Samurai and 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand I can honestly say I was really looking forward to playing through Alan Wake.  It didn’t disappoint.  Since it’s a recent game, it felt great to be playing and reviewing a game that’s still fresh in the minds of gaming society.  Especially since the majority of our project is going to be playing and reviewing games that are

This has been a highly anticipated game by those who follow the genre.  I myself was thrilled that the release coincided so closely with it's listing in our to be played list.  I am also thrilled to say that this game did not disappoint. I can honestly say this is one of the best games I've played in a while.  The style and game play didn't disappoint and the storyline was fantastic. This is

This review will be short, much like the game. Afro Samurai couldn't hold my attention no matter how much it tried. The gameplay was representative and got boring fast. Enemy types didn't vary beyond color changes. Even the topless female ninjas couldn't hold my attention beyond the initial "ooh boobies!" Controls were standard button mash dungeon crawler where you string combos together

Swords, blood, dismemberment, one Afro, and yes even a little nudity what could be better?  Well, as it turns out quite a bit. This plays almost exactly like you would expect.  String together combo's cut people up as you progress through the story line.  The thing that ruins this game is that there's only so much you can take.  With flaws in execution and good ideas gone wrong I have to admit

Time for me to weigh in on Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation First let me start by saying I've been in Texas for the past week house shopping for the big move.  It's been pretty busy but I managed to find a local Blockbuster to keep the project going.  I return to Georgia tomorrow and I can get back on pace with this thing so I'm really looking forward to that. OK time for the review.  Since

Oh, Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, where do I start?  I guess I’ll start by saying this: I’ve never been a fan of flight simulators or flying games in general so picking this game up and playing it wasn’t something I had much interest in, but I’m glad I did.  I would say Namco did something right with this title, as they should have, considering they’ve had six previous games to get it that

Time for my side of the story on 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. If I had to describe this game in one word It would have to be "surprising."  The game actually didn't disappoint me and I have to admit I had very low expectations going into it.  The combat works nicely there's nothing to fancy and the graphics look good.  That's not to say the game doesn't have it's flaws or show, at times, that it

I suppose I should introduce myself as well. Apparently I'm a follower not a leader since Scott managed to post his first but I digress. My names Jake I'm 26 and I've been playing games for as long as I have a memory of doing anything. I enjoy all types of games from RPGs to shooters to sim and strategy games. I got involved in this project because I got tired of reading reviews from press

I got to thinking, and I said to myself "You should really introduce yourself to your readers." Well, here it goes. I'm Scott, 26 years old, full time student, part time employee at a game store. I'm currently in school to get my bachelors in Business with a focus on Accounting, though I've recently decided to switch that up and go full on Marketing with some Accounting thrown in for good

So, I’ve finished the first game in our little project, 50 Cent Blood on The Sand: When I first picked up this game, I laughed at the concept. 50 Cent fighting terrorists in some middle eastern country. Then I got into the game. The gameplay was surprisingly good, playing much like Gears of War with fairly effective aiming and cover systems. The whole time you have a partner with you to

Greetings and salutations readers, I'm Scott, your average casual gamer. A few weeks ago, my friend Jake and I were discussing an idea. Why not play every game we can get our hands on for the 360, in alphabetical order. Now, I work for a game store, so that's going to be my launching point, however we're also going to be utilizing GameFly and Blockbuster to get this done for those games I can't
