Somehow, Volition thought it would be a dandy idea to go from the open world, fun loving destruction that was in Red Faction: Guerrilla, to a linear and almost on rails underground setting that takes away most of the destruction and replaces it with rebuilding for the most part. They couldn't have been more wrong. Read more →

Deja Vu has ruined every single detective game that has ever been made. Nothing could live up to the legend Theodore "Ace" Harding and his world of intrigue and deception. Everyone kept telling me that L.A. Noire will change my mind about Deja Vu being the only good detective game in existence. Time to put on my stylish Brooks Brothers three-piece suit and fedora and jump back into the seedy world of dicks....hmm, that doesn't sound as good as I thought. Read more →

I am not one for British humor. Could never figure out what the reason behind it all is, just never grabbed me like it does others.

When The 3rd  Birthday was announced, I was excited yet confused that it wasn't called Parasite Eve 3 or having Parasite Eve somewhere in the title. To get prepared I went out and bought PS1 copies of Parasite Eve and Parasite Eve 2 though in true Andy fashion, I never got around to playing them again.

I came out at the end not knowing what the hell just happened. Read more →

I never thought that fighting games should be put on portable devices. I'm not saying that because I don't think it can be done, it's more that they would never be comfortable to play on such a small device. The other big reason being playing opponents online is still an issue on portable devices due to companies not properly having the infrastructure in place to handle online play. Let's face it, playing a fighting game is so much better when playing against a human opponent. Just getting a 3DS in my grubby little hands I wanted to see if Capcom could deliver that console experience in a portable package with Super Street Fighter IV 3DS. Read more →

Can't read my, can't read my no you can't read my poker face. Yes, I went there. As part of the "House Party" line up of games for Xbox Live Arcade (others being Beyond Good & Evil, Torchlight, Hard Corps Uprising and Bejeweled Blitz Live) Full House Poker is nothing more than a Xbox Live Arcade Avatar poker game. Is it fun? Depends on you. Read more →
