I’m kiind of schizophrenic when it comes to the Lego games. While I’m really into the general idea & so far, I have enjoyed what little bit I’ve played of them, there’s still just something about them that pushes me away. It seems like every time I sit down to play one, my session may last an hour at best. Then, I just get distracted & won’t pick it up again for weeks (sometimes months). I still can’t figure out what it is that I makes me lose interest. As a fan of the Harry Potter books (especially before the entire planet went bat-shit crazy over them),...

Alrighty all you Adam addicts, your ticket for your return to Rapture is almost here! Launching next week, BioShock 2 promises to show us new enemies (say hi to your Big Sister for me), take us to parts of Rapture we haven’t been to before & will give us a bit of the back story as told through the prequel-set multiplayer. Plus, the main story puts you in the shoes of a Big Daddy! One of my personal all-time favorites, BioShock was a First Person Shooter that catered to my love of the art deco 1940’s & 50’s along with providing an interesting & inventive storyline with...

There’s a Halo Legends contest where you can win a trip to 343 Studios. Check it out on Facebook… As we get closer to the March 16th release of God of War III, look for Kratos-inspired Slurpee flavors & God of War III collectible cups at 7-11… Bookmark It Hide Sites

I spent the weekend off my PC for the most part, spending some quality time with the family (& getting some quality game time in). Thus, this may not be news for some of you, as it was officially announced on Friday. The next DLC pack for Borderlands (a game I’ve just begun playing, so I should have a review for you soonish), dubbed The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, is currently in development for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, & PC. The folks at Gearbox are touting it as being the biggest pack yet, with huge new enemies & environments along with a bunch of new missions &...

Metro 2033, a post-apocalyptic FPS set in future Moscow, has been a brightly lit beacon on my horizon ever since I saw the first set of screens back in October. There’s just something about the torn-up-future setting that appeals to me, so I’m automatically drawn to just about any game that can bring me there. Fortunately, THQ looks like they’re on track to launch a solid shooter experience. In fact, they are so confident in the quality of the title, they have put together a Limited Edition package. What’s in it? Unfortunately, not much. Futuristic warriors who grab this...

Slow news day. I’m assuming it’s because everyone is busy playing Mass Effect 2 or getting hyped about the Apple announcement today… You can pick up Psychonauts on Steam for $2 until tomorrow. No, that’s not a typo… Look for Capcom’s Monster Hunter franchise to make it’s way to the Xbox 360 this summer… Bookmark It Hide Sites

The first expansion to the PC RTS/Sim Majesty 2, dubbed Kingmaker, is heading our way very soon (read: February or March). Here’s the first trailer to give you a little taste of what to expect… Bookmark It Hide Sites

Microsoft’s Games on Demand service is adding Halo Wars ($29.99) & Dead Rising ($19.99) today… Remember the “exclusive” content that the Playstation 3 Divine Edition of Dante’s Inferno will have in it? Well, it won’t be exclusive in the strictest sense of the word. The Dark Forest DLC will be coming to the Xbox 360, for free, just like the Playstation 3 version. It just won’t be at launch… Bookmark It Hide Sites

Batman Arkham Asylum 2 is already available for pre-order through Amazon. No new info to be found & the cover art used is the crumbling Batman logo from the trailer (it’s safe to say that’s not the final cover art)… Look for the PC beta for Command & Conquer 4 to go public very soon… Bookmark It Hide Sites

One look at the below trailer & you’ll understand why the hype surrounding Mass Effect 2 is as big as the hype surrounding Modern Warfare 2 was leading up to it’s launch. Pardon the language, but this game is fucking HOT! As a gamer who’s held a love affair with role-playing games since the first Final Fantasy debuted on the NES, this is my most anticipated RPG of the year. And yes, that includes Final Fantasy XIII (a spectacular franchise in it’s own right, but has been wearing thin on me in recent years). With the launch only a few days away, the sci-fi sequel is one...

Paradox announced the first expansion to their fantasy RTS/sim Majesty 2. Dubbed Kingmaker, the campaign will provide a ton goblins to fend off as you challenge Lord Blackviper, leader of the goblin army. Look for it to launch this sometime this quarter for $20… Bookmark It Hide Sites

Yeah, it’s been a few days since any updates. With my little one being off from school yesterday, it’s tough finding the time to sit here & work on the site. So I opted to put things aside & just spend some time with her (& do a little gaming). Now she’s back in school so let the writing begin! Bookmark It Hide Sites

Crayon Physics is a small indie PC title that really deserves your attention. It’s a brilliant puzzler that will tax your brain, regardless of the kindergarten-esq visuals the crayons provide. The good folks at Kloonigames are celebrating the title’s 1st birthday by doing a “pay what you want” sale. That’s right, just head over here & pay any amount you feel is appropriate using PayPal. You can undercut them & only pay a penny, but seriously, this one is worth much more than that (regular price is $19.95). The sale is ongoing until Jan 15th, so you only have...

While I had hoped to have several more genre categories, due to time constraints, I’m going to have to combine everything. I’m just a one man show here, so it can be tough to initiate all pieces that I want to see on the site. But, there are a bunch of other games that didn’t make the other guides that should be considered. So here is the best of the rest (20 in total). Look for one more guide by the end of the week (most likely on Saturday) that will cover hardware & other gaming related items. Also look for my Best of 2009 picks sometime in the next 14 days or so along with...
