impressions - legend of zelda: ocarina of time 3D

Nearly 13 years ago, Nintendo graced us with the first 3D Zelda game. Since, it has been highly praised as one of the greatest games ever, and by countless others as the #1 best game ever. Hell, even by Gamerankings.com, it is the best.

impressions - mortal kombat

Damn it feels good to be back in 2D! I didn't necessarily dislike the last 4 Mortal Kombat games (Deadly Alliance - MK vs DC Universe), but I found myself playing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 more often. There's just something about the original MK formula that just didn't translate well to 3D gameplay. But when I saw that first trailer for the newest Mortal Kombat, my heart stopped. Finally, a revisit to what made the series great to begin with.

impressions - motorstorm apocalypse

I wasn't really sure to expect when I found out that the newest Motorstorm was going to take place in a post-apocalyptic city. The last two PS3 titles were so beautiful and rich with color and vegetation. All the screen shots for Apocalypse just looked so dull and dreary, I couldn't imagine it holding up to the others. I was wrong. So very wrong.

impressions - sonic generations demo

Sonic's almost old enough to drink! And to celebrate, Sega has just released a demo for Sonic Generations on Xbox 360 and PS3. This single stage demo lets you take classic Sonic out for a spin through the Green Hill zone.

E3 2011 - hands on with WiiU

After seeing the unveiling of the console at Nintendo's press conference Tuesday morning, I couldn't wait to get my hands on WiiU. I'm not big on all the motion gaming, but it definitely had me intrigued. Seamless controller-to-console gameplay, and vise versa, I had to experience it for myself.

After only a 20 minute wait in line (because we were extremely lucky and picked out for a "VIP" line of sorts) I finally got to put my hands on it. Everything about the new console feels great. Even the simplest tech demos that were shown really showed what this console is capable of.

impressions - superbrothers: sword & sworcery EP

Without a doubt in my mind, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is by far the greatest gaming experience I've had yet this year. On any platform.
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is by definition a point & click adventure title. I know that doesn't sound like much, but the game is truly so much more than that. The brain child of composer Jim Guthrie, art & design studio Superbrothers Inc, and developer Capybara Games; Sword & Sworcery is

impressions - resident evil mercenaries vs.

 Resident Evil Mercenaries VS. is Capcom's latest iOS release. Taking the gunplay formula from the last two games in the series and adding a deathmatch / hi-score twist to it, Mercenaries VS. is actually quite fun.

impressions - skarlet DLC

Mortal Kombat's first DLC character was released today. 'Skarlet' is an all new character to the series, though originally thought to have been a hidden character in Mortal Kombat II because of a glitch in the game that colored one of the female ninjas red.

Story-wise, Skarlet is a creation of Shao Kahn. A warrior created from the blood of his enemies, fused together by sorcery. Skarlet draws power and strength from the blood of her defeated enemies. Skarlet is a blood ninja, and it definitely shows.

news - Ryan Dunn (June 11, 1977 – June 20, 2011)

Our condolences go out to the family and friends of the 'Random Hero'.

hands on - ninja gaiden 3 @ E3 2011

He's back and more violent than ever. I got a chance to taste test Ninja Gaiden 3 last week at E3, and I must say, it was fairly delicious.

news - 3DS eshop updates june 16

trailers - annihilation is imminent

The newest expansion for Call of Duty: Black Ops has just been announced. "Annihilation" will include 4 new multiplayer maps: Hangar 18, Drive-In, Silo, and Hazard. As well as a new zombies map, Shagri-La. Once again the content will be available on 360 first on June 28. Everyone else will have available about a month later. With PS3 owners only recently being able to download the Escalation pack, I'm sure the wait won't be too long.

Developer Treyarch gives us the rundown on the new Black Ops expansion, "Annihilation"

hands on - luigi's mansion 2 @ E3 2011

By far one of the biggest surprises to me this E3 was the announcement of Luigi's Mansion 2 for 3DS. I have been wanting and waiting for another title from Mario's

trailers - battlefield 3 'thunder run' trailer shows off a little firepower

"Hold on to your butts!"

E3 2011 - luigi's mansion 2

It's on!

Hands down, this was the biggest surprise for me this year. I would have been satisfied with a Wii remake announcement, but a full blown sequel!?

By far one of THE BEST games on the Gamecube (and a launch title at that!), Luigi's Mansion is easily one of the most memorable titles in Nintendo's history. For those of you who don't know, the original Luigi's Mansion had you in the shoes of the other Mario brother exploring a haunted mansion searching for Mario while playing "Ghost Buster" and sucking up Boos and everything else in the way with your trusty vacuum on steroids.

Man, just when I thought I could wait on NGP, Vita, whatevertheitsgonnabecalled, I see this. Apparently it will be a launch title for Sony's new portable. Damn you Sony. You know

news - playstation store is back up!

Well there goes my paycheck... After a month long hiatus, SONY has finally restored service to its Playstation Store. As far as new content goes, there's not much at the moment and no sign of the "Welcome Back" content, but that's likely to change over the next few days. There have been many people having troubles with getting error messages, myself included, but its likely the result of traffic overload. Just keep signing back in, you'll access it after a couple of tries.

Anything you're looking forward to picking up? I'm still waiting on my Beyond Good & Evil HD and Mortal Kombat DLC.
