“Sorcery” Review: A Spell of Brevity, Frustration, and a Little Hope
It’s been a long, long (loooooong) way coming, but Sorcery is finally here. And there’s probably no reviewer who’s been looking as forward to this game more than I have. Even during one of last year’s Infinite Ammo’s roundtables on Motion Gaming, my one lasting hope was that–after Skyward Sword–Sorcery would come out, rock hard … Read more
‘Sonic 4: Episode II’ – Great Race or Major Drag?
A Short Rant About Reply to the Average Sonic Game Review: You can always tell when a reviewer hasn’t played any of the original Sonic the Hedgehog games in fifteen years. There’s a strange notion that always works its way into those reviews: that Sonic the Hedgehog has always been about one thing and one thing only—”unadulterated speed.” Complaints … Read more
PSN Essentials: Future Cop L.A.P.D.
With news that Sony would be re-releasing it to the PSN, I thought it a perfect time to look back at one of my favorite PSOne titles, Future Cop L.A.P.D., and share with the world how awesome this old game was.

Best Games You’ve Never Played: Why “Rochard” Is a Downloadable Game You Need to Try
“Rock is hard. John Rochard is harder.” This may sound like the movie byline of a sexually charged 70′s blaxploitation film, but trust me when I say it’s way more awesome. Developed by Recoil Games, Rochard–named after the game’s protagonist (and is pronounced “ROW-shard” or the equally acceptable “Rock-Hard!”)–is a downloadable, side-scrolling game that is … Read more
Mass Effect 3 Review: A Lasting Effect
Mass Effect 3 had a lot to live up to; the ultimate threat of the trilogy had finally arrived: The Reapers. BioWare’s knack for telling emotional and character-driven stories while lacing them with intense gameplay and action got better with each installment, and there’s no shortage of these qualities in ME3. Did it live up … Read more
My Unhealthy Obsession With Final Fantasy Tactics
(Note: Thanks to the Final Fantasy Tactics wikia and to the Final Fantasy Tactics Screen Shots page for pictures!) It started sometime in the early 2000′s. While everyone else had a PS2 or a Dreamcast, I was just getting a PSOne. I was late to the console race, having only ever owned an NES and … Read more

Also without a doubt, however, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, has left a pretty solid hole in many a gamer’s heart. “What kind of hole?” you ask? One that can only be … Read more
