I've been looking for a reason to break down and buy a Kinect, and I can't think of a cooler way to jump all in on the Kinect bandwagon. This holiday season, from a galaxy far, far away, we're be getting a Star Wars themed XBox 360 with Kinect bundle. I'm not a huge R2-D2 fan, but seriously, how can you not more...
Shocking Introduction: The Prologue and First Chapter of Captain America: Super Soldier
By Jason Joseph at July 19, 2011 | 6:31 pm | 0 Comment
I feel like I have to justify myself every time I buy a movie based video game. Most movie tie-ins are, in a word, bad, and in a few words, just not worth full retail value. When you add the words "Marvel" and "Sega" to "movie based video games," this situation automatically tends to go from suck to blow, as the Marvel/Sega partnership has been nothing short of a more...

Kratos Enters Mortal Kombat 9
By Jason Joseph at December 12, 2010 | 1:11 am | 0 Comment
That's right, you read that correctly. Kratos of God Of War fame is going to be in the latest incarnation of Mortal Kombat, coming some time in 2011. Well, at least on the Playstation 3 that is.
