Supremacy MMA, let the bodies hit the floor

Mixed Martial Arts baby.  I’m a big fan of both UFC Undisputed and EA Sports MMA.  Now 505 Games is delivering another fighter to the cage with Supremacy MMA.  They even have Jens Pulver, former UFC champion, as the spokesman.  From the screenshots and the trailer, this game is definitely a no-holds barred take on [...]

If you’ve ever really gotten into PC gaming then you’re likely to have run across Runic Games’ Torchlight at some point.  Think of it as Diablo’s little baby brother and that should tell you how much I’ve personally enjoyed it.  It’s a pretty cool game on PC and those of you who don’t game on [...]

Avatar Kinect...Home but only better?

Avatar Kinect…Home but only better?

I have finally caught on to what Microsoft is doing.  It’s taking everything from its competition (PS3, Wii) and attempting to do it much better.  One can argue that they’ve certainly smashed egg in the face of the Wii and its motion control with Kinect.  In fact, I’ll just say it now…they have.  However, with [...]

Portal 2 box art

Portal 2 box art

If you’re into seeing the box art for games, then why not follow the cake towards Portal 2.  It’s a full retail title coming your way this year.  The original Portal was definitely one of the best surprises I’ve played in recent years.  I don’t know how the sequel will do but the original was [...]

Music genre dead man walking…who’s to blame?

Harmonix is being sold by Viacom/MTV.  The latest Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock has reportedly sold less than 100,000 copies on all consoles combined.  Yes, I said combined.  I just read this bit of information in the latest Game Informer magazine about the sales of Warriors of Rock.  Wow…less than 100,000 copies according to NPD.  [...]
