BLOOD BOWL, A MANLY GAME FOR MEN WHO ARE MANLY, AND MEN

I fell in love with this game in the middle of the tutorial. A little text box instructed me to tell one of my line backers to commit a foul. A right click brought a human player football player to run up to an unconscious rat man and kick him ...

15 Minute Mega-Review

Okay, I have a killer case of pinkeye in my right eye... feels like it's about to squeeze out... so I'm going to keep these super brief. Links are in the title. Cash Cow's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3 | 360 | PC) I had this five days early. Did I review ...

Shenmue

Turning on the Dreamcast is a magical journey back to a simpler time. To be precise, it's November 27, 1998, because the fucking internal clock is just as miserable a sack of crap as the Xbox's. I hate turning the thing on because looking at that time setup screen reminds ...

Happy Aquarium

Happy Aquarium is an aquarium for face book which can be loaded up with fish, but is it really happy? There are four meters for this game: cleanliness, experience, money and hunger. Cleanliness is easy to fill. The fish tank gets dirty over time, click on the brush icon, click ...

Mafia Wars, and the other ones

I spent a week playing Mafia Wars, unfortunate, I know.  I had also planned on trying a few other games, like Mobsters 2 and Pirates: Rule the Caribbean, but they are basically the same game. Each one has a system where energy is accrued over time, and then spent on ...

Gran Turismo PSP

Dear Sony, I was excited when I got my shipment of Gran Turismo for the PSP, one week late. I had been reviewing the somewhat stinky Kingdom Hearts for the DS, and tossed the system with such force that it legally destroyed my dog. This was no fey Totilo toss; that ...

15 Minute Review: Halo 3 ODST and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

The calls asking if we have sports games at the shop tend to start three weeks before they're released and stop two days before they're released. The best part? Not carrying them so we don't lose buckets of money. People are DESPERATE to play pretend football, especially, and the only way ...

Valkyria Chronicles

I don't like strategy games. In a recent post, I stated that I owned Battletech as a youth. Like many people I owned it, but never got around to playing it. Oh yes, I read the entire rulebook, set up a board, even found somebody insane enough to try and ...

Wolfenstein

John Carmack, id's head retiree, has lost his fucking marbles. Not in his typical, probably from outer space way. No, he's joined the short yet growing line of former game developers-turned-professional character assassins in service of Microsoft. This time it's steadily declining claims of what the PS3's processor is capable ...

Turtles in Time: Money for Nothing

Wondering if you should pick up the freshly-minted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game on XBLA? In the spirit of the amount of energy used to bring you this game, we're copying stuff said in IRC to bring you the most comprehensive review a gestalt entity can. "IGN gave the game 5.9, ...

Red Dead Redemption to possibly not suck as much as first game

I know I'm bitter and alone in considering Red Dead Revolver to be a cumbersome, bulky, unplayable shooter, and I'm fine with that. I don't have to experience you guys do nailing total cows at last call. But I'm always game to give a Western-themed game a second shot. So ...

I like big behinds…

I suck. I've moved twice in the last month, the last time involving pitchforks and fire, and my nigga 4 life Mike has been back in his home of Chicago, apparently too blissful or too good to reply to any messages or subpoenas sent his way. The store website is ...

DOA Paradise

Well, we tried. We tried and tried, we said a lot of bad words, we verbally abused any of you stupid enough to enjoy Halo 3 aka Halo 1.2, but we have lost the war. Despite Tecmo's main fucking retard Itagaki being placed in cryogenic stasis to relegate him to a ...
