The great thing about modern electronics is that they all connect to one another. Unfortunately, that’s also the bad thing about modern electronics, at least if you have to worry about cord control and limited inputs. This is particularly true with the latest round of game consoles and HDTVs/3DTVs, which have more horsepower than we’ve […]

Let’s get some perspective. The Nintendo 3DS is a four-month-old system. Four months old. Name a console with a stellar launch lineup after four months. I can’t think of any, either. And yet if you listen to the Internets, Nintendo should have had every AAA game in their arsenal on the shelf already. On top

College was my first experience with the Ocarina of Time, and I spent far too many nights sitting in my room sound on the garage sale quality TV with cranked as high as the tinny speakers could handle. Most of those nights were spent in frustration with that god forsaken water temple, but when it

The middle of summer means a variety of things: good weather, vacations, big movies and a dearth of new games and electronics. There’s been a certain degree of radio silence and feature articles lately, for various reasons that I won’t bore you with, but that doesn’t mean we’ve been sitting on our laurels. The gaming

I was a huge fan of the original American McGee’s Alice, a somewhat-fringe PC game that took the already-twisted story of Alice in Wonderland and turned it on its sadistic ear. A slightly-mad Alice slicing her way through evil playing-card guards? Yep, the gameplay novelty rocked, but it was the environments and overall personality of

Much like the game that inspired it (Rez), Child of Eden is a game that defies definition. Is it a shooter or is it a screensaver? Is it a rhythm game or is it an on rails shooter? Regardless of how the game is defined, it easily has become one of, if not the reason

It seems like every console debut needs a racing game to highlight the system’s power, a role filled upon the PS3’s launch by genre newbie MotorStorm. The choice was somewhat surprising, considering the PlayStation hardware is the exclusive home for Gran Turismo, but MotorStorm more than held its own. Its mix of on- and off-road

For all the R&D Sony and Nintendo have thrown into the PlayStation Vita and 3DS, respectively, you’d think the mobile-gaming scene was incapable of enjoyment on anything other than a standalone device. Nevermind how the iPhone gave a NOS-like injection to the mobile-gaming landscape. Or how Angry Birds blasted the category to the next level.

It’s not often that a sequel comes out and doesn’t just add a 2 to the end of the name, and when it does happen chances are still high that it’s the same ol’ characters and settings. Twisted Pixel on the other hand took a sequel idea, and ran with it while giving a nod

I’d heard differing opinions about Sucker Punch when the film hit theaters, although one common thread was that the comic book-inspired film was hard to follow. A narrative junkie, I decided to wait for Sucker Punch to hit Blu-ray Disc in case the story was, in fact, a convoluted mess. Sucker Punch isn’t nearly as
