Review: The Beatles: Rock Band

Paul does not need a fur coat with that beard

I have been surrounded by music lovers my entire life. My father gave me my first guitar, and my uncle, who lives across the street, hung his classic LPs across the walls of his basement. I’ve always had an appreciation for good classic rock because [...]

Review: Batman: Arkham Asylum (X360)

Ha! More like "The CHOKER."

Go back through the annals of gaming history and I’m sure you’ll find a long standing trend in which games created from licensed properties have generally not been well accepted or well made. So the first murmurs about Batman: Arkham Asylum didn’t inspire too much excitement in me. But as [...]

Review: House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii)

Review: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (The Caulk of the Walk)

[Again, late to the draw, but Gamefly sent it out, I finished it, and again feel the need to post my opinion. The results are as follows. Fanboy disclaimer: I love Star Wars, but I think that’s mostly a prerequisite for playing this game, so I feel that kind of bias is necessary for this [...]

Review: Fallout 3 (Three Dog is my Homeboy)

[I know I’m a little late in the game here as far as reviews go, since anyone who is anyone has already posted theirs, but I feel as though my thoughts on the game have to go somewhere, and this is my place for musings on games. After finishing a conversation with my friend Josh [...]
