Posted in Rants, Xbox 360, PC

Anybody else see those awesome Assassin’s Creed gameplay videos at E3? No, not the ones with hottie dev Jade Reynolds, but the ones where protagonist Altair moves throughout 12th century Jerusalem.

Posted in Rants, Wii

Ok, I admit it. I’m a big Nintendo fan. I grew up playing their games and loved to hate Sega’s Genesis. I also beat most of the games i played including games which most consider difficult such as: Crocodile Dundee, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Metal Gear, Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, Contra (with no deaths), all […]

My nephew’s really lucky. It’s his birthday this Sunday and my parents decided to get him a Nintendo DS Lite. Aside from kiddy games like Pokemon Diamond and Mario Kart—none of that gory stuff—an R4 was of course included in the package.
