The latest update to Xbox LIVE and the Dashboard is almost upon us.  We’ve heard all the rumblings about it since E3 this year and now it seems that Microsoft is ready to unveil its latest software reboot to the world.  The next update is expected later this Summer. Not everything we heard about during [...]

Flashback - The Thing

Flashback – The Thing

This was one of the better games on the original Xbox.  I loved it.  You might think of it as the original survival horror game that titles like Dead Space were molded from.  I’d love to see a battle between the weird mutated spawns in The Thing against the Necromorphs in Dead Space.  The game [...]

Army of Two: The 40th Day, Rios & Salem Reinvented

Two of the Xbox 360′s most memorable characters, Rios and Salem, are making a sort of reintroduction with Army of Two: The 40th Day.  For the most part they’re still the same but a lot has been done to the two characters to give them a new, more kick ass look.  They’re no longer bulky, [...]

Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition

Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition

I don’t have to point out the fact that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was (and still is) an incredible game.  I have no doubt that the sequel, Modern Warfare 2, will be just as incredible if not more.  But which version of this game will you decide to purchase?  Yesterday, Infinity Ward gave fans [...]

Top 5 Reasons to Attend Gaming Events 5.

Flashback – iWas Rogue Agent, Sean Walthers

Auric Enterprises used to be the perfect cover for the type of work I did.  Being hunted internationally and having to do the type of spy work that I was assigned was no easy task.  Being a rogue agent had its pleasures but it had its share of risks believe me.  I had the perfect [...]

Go to Hell with Dante's Inferno

Go to Hell with Dante’s Inferno

Visceral Games is sending you to hell…in a good way.  Dante’s Inferno just might be another silent and deadly killer of a game from this studio.  Visceral Games is the studio behind one of my favorite games, Dead Space.  They’re at it again with a title that could be even more disturbing than the Necromorphs we [...]
