As most of you undoubtedly know, Modern Warfare 2 has had more than its fair share of glitches. We thought it was bad when the Javelin glitch came about that gave people cheap, easy kills. There was and is a way to boost using a riot shield, the perk One Man Army, and any other weapon you want. The player would earn points by having another player crouch behind a riot shield while the other play... more.

Every year, a certain week saunters by. This week is unlike any other seven day span; there are no Mondays, no Hump Days - even Friday is a distant figment of some forgotten higher will. Within this week, zombies, bats, ghosts, and vampires become commonplace, no longer frightening creatures of the night. In every storefront and in the lawns of the classless lie beacons of a singular day among... more.

I recently finished Final Fantasy X for the first time, quickly smashing through Tidus’s poor papa with all the ferocity of a tiger with a chainsaw; and when it was all over, I was left with a great sense of satisfaction. I had saved the world. We saw peace in our time, and the party of misfits celebrated by eating muffins made of rainbows. A good time was had by all (or me anyway, because it is... more.

NHL 09 garnered huge success, and its successor, NHL 10 has been released. There are not quite as many innovations as the last installment, but there is still enough there to keep you hooked. It definitely isn't a step in the wrong direction, but if it is a step in the right, it's a minor one. Don't get us wrong, the game is just as good as last years, it just doesn't have the surprise that came... more.

Silent Hill:Shattered Memories is a remake/retelling of the original Silent Hill Playstation 1 game, set for release on both PSP and Wii. It promises a higher reliance on evasion than previous installments, removing the combat that has long been slated as one of the games weakest elements. Playing the Wii version with headphones on in a darkened Konami booth, I was initially surprised by how go... more.

To the people who don’t know what Dynasty Warriors is, it is what you thought you wanted side-scrolling beat ’um ups to evolve into when we hit the Playstation 2 generation; fields of mindless enemies that you are able to mow down like grass. The sequel, Ninety-Nine Nights II (N3II for short), continues this trend of over-powered warriors hacking their way through fields of lesser men, women a... more.
