Call of Juarez Appreciation Week begins!

Hi folks, Vance here. Our newest assimilee, Mike Gallagher, is kicking off our Call of Juarez Appreciation Week a bit late thanks to our time at Anime Expo. Unfortunately, he still seems kind of addled from all the E. I'll be supplying commentary and clarifications in Microsoft's soothing green text. Let ...

And a quick note…

Greetings from sunny Anime Expo, vacation place of the gods. Assuming the gods dress up in gay wigs and clothes that show off their double-folding, sheet-pale belly, and haggle over the price of a tiny mushroom plushie attached to a keychain. Obviously I'd never be here if we didn't have ...

Terminator: Salvation

The greatest thing about this game is that I'm going to be done with it soon and can review InFamous. And yet the worst thing I can say is that beyond a few bugs and the fact that it's a bland third person shooter, it's not terrible either. Despite Wolverine being ...

There is no chance in hell of me staying silent today

With the closure of 3DRealms, Reflex Gamer has been kicked down a notch on Homeland Security's threat assessment and we can get back to updating. Also: The new Tenchu on the PSP sucks and Luke Plunkett still dreams about masturbating in Sony's face. This is a sad, sad industry and we're ...

GTA: Chinatown Wars and Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection

Chinatown Wars kinda blows. That was pretty easy to predict from the trailers, as the series really has reverted to the level of complexity of the very first GTA game... except with lock-on targeting! There are a few nice things here. The touch screen is used for some inventive interactive events ...

Resident Evil 5, a special message of hope

Mike showed up at the store the other day. I wasn't sure if he was in jail again or if I had accidentally sold him into white slavery again, but either way it was about time to start fishing through the bin of get well cards that confused old people ...

Penny Arcade actually some kind of Richard Pryor/Gene Wilder team

Thanks to Cait for bringing this to my attention. Gabe, the writer: "This morning I discovered the Dwarven Forge. The pictures of the terrain are pretty amazing and I don't doubt that they are worth the high price. My only problem is that I don't uderstand how they are supposed to ...

Afro Samurai

This is probably going to be brief, because I don't think there's a whole lot I can say about this game. It's kind of like that, despite being a rather high-profile title with a lot of work put into the visuals. That's the problem, this game is all foreplay. First, the ...

The Fifteen Two Minute Review: FEAR 2, Loco Roco 2

FEAR 2: Project Origin If you ever wanted POV softporn of the chick from the Ring all grown up and raping you, this is your game. The engine and graphics are a bit early gen, though. Oh yeah, and spoiler alert. Loco Roco 2 - Screenshot altered to avoid copyright infringement Loco Roco ...

One celebration after another

I'm dragging myself out of bed and downing enough Robotussin to stun Rush Limbaugh for five seconds for an important update; We have ourselves a brand spanking new store. Mike and I took the midnight train and plied our business partner with Pabst Blue Ribbon until he couldn't quite remember ...

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 ...
