Halo 3 - The Infinite SpaceStation

16110509-full.jpg

I haven’t touched the new Halo 3 “Heroic Map Pack”, and I don’t plan on downloading them till they are free. The big reason is price, 2 maps and an empty warehouse aren’t my idea of value, but the smaller reason seems even more important coming off a week of Forge maps and matchmaking mayhem […]

Guitar Hero 3 is broken

Sad but true folks. A design flaw with the new Les Paul controller means that it may be almost impossible to grab all of the achievements from the Xbox 360 version. And the PS3 version? It suffers the same problems apparently.
I’ve been a huge fan of the Guitar Hero series since it arrived on the […]

Xbox 360 will cut you

I am not pleased. Apparently if your console is moved slightly while a disc is playing the 360 Gnome takes a razor out of his bum and well, you get the picture. Halo 3 has an ironic Halo shaped scratch on the underside of the disc, and will only load Matchmaking levels now, no more […]

Fear the Softness - Snuggle Squad Tryouts

A Teddy Bear is huggably soft (or scratchy & awkward), but your rotting corpse is also endowed with a high degree of softness, and a hero has arrived to remind you of this. Captain Snuggles is that hero, hugs and kisses xoxoxo. Captain Snuggles desires the blood of the innocent, and a healthy dose of […]

Mass Effect Review

I heart my Krogan Battlemaster. Reminds me of Mr. Snuffalufagus from Sesame Street, only less imaginary friend and more axe-murderer acquaintance. The wife surprised me with an early christmas present, and Bioware surprised me with a timewasting apparatus of epic proportions!
For the record, I thought KOTOR was poop. Sorry, but I never got past […]

Xbox 360 Lost Odyssey Preview

**Spoilers Ahead - BEWARE**

Mistwalker released full versions of the game to review sites in Japan, and someone at Gamersyde.com posted quite a few videos. The reason thats important is because someone who has played 6 hours worth over at IGN seems to think the game is a technical mess. I’ve used my vast technical mastery […]

Screen of the Week 12/05

th1.jpg

Too Human developer Silicon Knights just released a behind-the-scenes “vidoc” on the marketplace, and its worth every second of download time.
Not only does the video show off some great looking graphics, its thought provoking and somewhat educational. In the first few moments I saw the some really smooth gameplay elements and what looked like the […]
