Critically, Stranglehold was fairly average (scoring roughly a 7 out of 10 for the most part). But personally, I loved it. Between being a fan of John Woo’s Hard Boiled along with the graceful gymnastic gameplay that made Inspector ‘Tequila’ Yuen’s most mundane moves made a joy...

So, below is the first bit of gameplay from Valve’s zombie hit, Left 4 Dead on the NES. Look for it to hit retail right around…wait a minute, the NES? Ok, so it isn’t really coming to the NES. It’s a PC recreation of what Left 4 Dead may have been like had it been released 20...

This week Yahtzee brings us his take on Modern Warfare 2. Looks like he didn’t much care for the single player portion either (it was the weakest part of the package for me as well). But as always, it’s a riot. Just make sure your ears are tuned in well. Sounds to me like he is talking even...

Yesterday BethBlog announced a slew of Fallout 3 themed gear for your Xbox 360 Avatar. I’m a bit torn about it. I dig the Vault 101 jumpsuits & I kinda like the Vault Boy costume. But where’s my props? Where’s my Pip Boy 3000? Or maybe a plush Dogmeat? Heck, I’d even be happy...
