When Red Faction: Guerrilla landed in my mailbox two days ago I wasn’t expecting much. The first RF was a competent title built entirely on the selling point that players could blow up everything. The ground, the buildings, stray dogs, everything. Red Faction 2 attempted to recreate that same idea, only with more advanced technology […]

Pre-E3 Trailerpaloozastravaganza! (Part 1)
E3 kicks off next week and in lieu of frying my pasty Caucasoid ass off in sunny Los Angeles, I’m spending the week strapped to my laptop, trying to explain to my roommate’s cat why he can’t eat Skittles.

Fuck Yo’ Productivity: Peggle Hits iPhone
I’ve been bothering the developers at PopCap Games for months. “When will I be able to play Peggle on my iPhone?” I’d breathlessly pant while shoving my Apple-branded status symbol in the face of whoever was tasked with listening to my whining that day. “Soon,” they’d tell me. “Soon.” A tear would form on the […]

Supposed Beyond Good & Evil 2 Footage Proves Jade Is Polite To Cows
I won’t hold it against you if you never played Beyond Good & Evil. Sure, it was an amazingly scripted game full of surprisingly mature, likable characters, and the overall experience was a textbook example of gameplay done right, but it didn’t exactly incinerate the sales charts. You probably had better things to do in […]
