Why the Taliban in the Medal of Honor is a non-issue.

Ok, let me start this off by saying I have nothing but respect and admiration for the American soldier (or sailor, marine, or airman, as the case may be).  I’m working on a Masters Degree in Military History, with my focus on American military history.  Reading about the experiences of American soldiers throughout history has [...]

EA’s Project Ten Dollar marches on

I expect this is what Project Ten Dollar’s next phase will look like. “Gimme the cassshhh!” Project Ten Dollar, for those of you who don’t know, is the name of EA’s master plan to take more of your money.  At its inception, the basic premise was this: if you buy a game new, you get [...]

Section 8: PS3 Review

I know the term “hardcore” is thrown around a lot in the gaming community, often with negative connotation, but there’s really no other way to describe Section 8 other than hardcore.  It eats other “hardcore” first person shooters for breakfast. Any seasoned FPS gamer with countless hours of Halo and Modern Warfare play under their belt, [...]

MW2 Map Pack: It’s just like the REAL Stimulus Package!

This goes along with my article from last week.  In that article, I discussed Modern Warfare 2′s apparent failure to keep the player base occupied and coming back for more as time goes on.  Well, Infinity Ward was concerned that such a thing was either going to happen or happening already, because they will soon [...]

Modern Warfare 2: How many players?

Tom’s Hardware has a post in which one Ryan Bowling (Edit: His name is Robert.  Tom’s reported his name incorrectly) at IW claims that MW2 has 25 million unique users.  Yes folks, 25 million.  The subtitle for this little gem of a mini-article is “Modern Warfare 2 is the major game for online gamers.”  First off, don’t [...]

Final Fantasy XIII out in less than 24 hours and I wish I cared…

Click to Enlarge

I know, I know. Almost everyone who reads this will, most likely, want to burn me at the stake but I guess I’m not all that interested in JRPGs (Japanese Role Playing Games) anymore. I try to be, I really do because, once upon a time, I really enjoyed them. Final Fantasy VII is still [...]

The PC as a “platform”

Microsoft and Sony have it easy, in a way.  Xbox Live and Playstation Network are easy methods of integrating a multiplayer experience because everyone has the same operating environment, the same hardware, the same software.  The PC is a different issue altogether.  The PC is a platform, in a sense, but only in the respect [...]

Aliens Vs. Predator Multiplayer Demo Now Available

“I’m gonna eat ya with my little mouth!” Word on the street was that Rebellion would release a demo for the updated AvP, but there hadn’t been confirmation whether or not it would be before the full game’s release.  Just shy of two weeks before AvP ships, you can now get the multiplayer demo on [...]

PixelJunk Shooter Review

Oh, PixelJunk, how I love thee. For those unfamiliar, PixelJunk is a DLC-only series for the PS3 from developer Q-Games. The series focuses on taking popular (and often over done) gameplay mechanics and throwing in a twist. The first game in the series, PixelJunk Racer, may not have been earth shattering but it certainly was [...]

Modern Warfare 2 on the PC: A Month Later

estimated-top-10-ytd-v2

It is now one month after the release of the most popular polished turd in history.  Since Activision and Infinity Ward are interested in nothing other than numbers, let’s take a moment to examine some as they pertain to MW2 on the PC. Gamasutra is reporting that Modern Warfare 2 has sold about 4.2 million [...]
