We Are Back and Rebuilding

Hello everyone, after a long, long absence from the video game world, we are finally getting things back on track. With this being the start of a new year and after watching history on my birthday (1/20/83), it is finally time to get 2009 rolling in just right.

Check out our new weekly PODCAST. . .

New Reviews

Guitar Hero 5

The music genre game is starting dwindle year after year. The graphic improvements and avatar play are cool and nice but what about the song selection?

Batman: Arkham Asylum

This could be the surprise hit of the year. Based on early play we are looking at one of the best single player experiences of the year thus far, and based on this summer lineup, we are glad to see this game release.

Madden 2010

Madden 2010 could be the closest you could get to paying on a field on sunday's? It could be but it does maintain some of the same old flaws.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

GTA is coming to the multi million dollar selling DS! How does the series play with the cell shaded art and touch screen functionality?

Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil is back with much, much better graphics but a repeat of a control scheme that seems a little outdated. How does this live up to the Resident Evil name, and it being it's first Next Gen launch!

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.

Another Tom Clancy game and like all other Tom Clancy Games this has to be good right? Read to see if this new IP from Ubisoft can compare to the likes of Ace Combat 6.

News

The truth is out of the bag!

With a recent study done in retro. to the Game Informer bias study, SquareTrade has issued their own survey where 2500 PS3's, 2500 360's and 11,000 Wii's were selected at random. Sadly enough Wii buyers bought more warrenties than PS3 and 360 buyers. The survey given concluded that from 2007 to the current fiscal year of 2009 that 23.7% of 360's failed, 10% PS3 failed within 2 years and 2.7% wii's failed within 2 years. Although the 360 still has the higher failure rate, it is less devastating than the 50 someodd % that GI had surveyed.
