First Impressions: Bioshock

I can be so unpredictable sometimes. I was sure I was going to play the new Kingdom Hearts game, but as I had just finished a God of War on the PSP, I was mobile gamed out. I stared at the queue for a...

War in the Eye of the Beholder

The video game market is rife of modern-day shooters, games based on military-like situations and scenarios. Shooters have never interested me, as a gamer, but this past summer, I stopped to take...
