Wow. GTA III is On My iPad, and It Really Works
Very few games are as iconic as Grand Theft Auto III, and it’s recent release to iOS devices does not tarnish its reputation whatsoever. I played the game on an iPad 1 this morning. I found the controls far more intuitive than I could have hoped for. The game is still a full experience, and…

Talk Amongst Yourselves
Am I the only person who thinks Metal Gear Rising looked cooler than Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance? Also, I am pretty sure revengeance isn’t a real word, and honestly, I think they should just do a cross over with Fruit Ninja and call it a day. I’m going to go write a strongly worded letter…

Talk Amongst Yourselves
I would actually pay for this chicken to be a DLC mount in Red Dead Redemption. In fact I think we should all petition Rockstar right now, to make this happen. Any takers…? …Guess not, oh well, maybe it can be a secret boss in the new Metal Gear game or something. While I go…

If Busby Berkeley Made a Starcraft 2 Christmas Video It Would Look Like This
The first thirty seconds might be a little slow, but once the music starts you will happy you stuck aroundā€”even if I’m not sure what the music has to do with Christmas or Starcraft 2 The dancing Santa Claus made completely out of moving Space Marines is pretty rad.

Talk Amongst Yourselves
Something about the chicken wearing glasses almost killed me. Although, I do feel that Gordon Freeman chicken has a better SAT score then me (and a better fashion sense as well). That’s just depressing. I think I am going to go get a chicken sandwich, maybe you guys should just Talk amongst Yourselves. Many thanks…

You May Need a Finance Degree to Understand Fortune Street
The Wii’s new virtual board game Fortune Street threatens to overwhelm you at first, but don’t let that stop you from becoming part of the 1 percent in this Monopoly-esque game. The only problem I had with Fortune Street was with its pacing. It feels slow at times, and if you’re playing alone it can…

The Adventures of Tintin Looks Amazing, But It’s a Bit Too Easy
The Adventures of Tintin is a great game for a younger audience. You play as Tintin and his dog Snowy, trying to solve a mystery that surrounds three miniature boats. Tintin‘s controls are fluid and its visuals are really nice, the only problem was how easy the game was. I never felt like I had…
