Dragon Age 2: New Combat Video!

Dragon Age 2: New Combat Video!

I had the pleasure of trying out Dragon Age II over the summer at San Diego Comic Con 2010.  Was I a lucky member of the press whisked away to some dark room to spend hours with the game? No, absolutely not.  I waited in a long line with other passionate fans for about an hour to get my hands on an early build of the game.  As I told a number of my friends, the game looked and felt amazing.  Combat had been sped up, and everything felt more fluid and tactile.

The Guild Trade Paperback review

My history with The Guild and, more appropriately, Felicia Day is probably not typical. The first time I had really seen her was in a quirky Cheetos commercial where she ruins someone’s laundry because they were an asshole. I thought…

Uncharted 3: Live on Fallon

Jimmy Fallon is one of us. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny that Fallon is a nerd. I once saw a tour of his office that revealed some hidden game systems tucked away inside seemingly normal cabinets. Jimmy Fallon is also one of the first high profile “celebrities” to really voice his passion for gaming despite the fact that it is often viewed as “for kids” or “too nerdy”.

Retro-review: Super Castlevania IV

Retro-review: Super Castlevania IV

Buying Super Castlevania IV from the virtual console should have been the second thing you did with the Wii. The first, of course, was figuring out how to cheat the system at Wii Sports bowling. SCIV first hit store shelves in December 1991, and 19 years later, it still offers excellent platforming and one of the best soundtracks in gaming. Be sure to check out the music tribute video toward the end.
