To: Ash From: Crecente I sure do! An entire living room full to be exact. We’re having the floor on our main floor completely ripped out and replaced with hardwood. That means I’ll be taking a bit of time off next week to clear the house for demolition, some light construction and then plenty o’…
I’ve called Darkspore a sort of Diablo-meets-Spore-in-space game. This developer diary gives you a better look at why I felt that way when I played it. The action role-playing game has you hunting for new, amazing loot. Better still, there’s a progressive payout for end of mission loot. This video walks you through the intricacies…
Welcome to a look at upcoming Playstation Network puzzler Shift extended. In Shift you are the subject of an experiment, you are also either a black or a white silhouette.

The Consumer Electronics Show kicks off in the second week of 2011, and for the first time in 16 years Nintendo will be there to show off some new goodies. What’s on their list to show off? We don’t know yet, but I suspect their big push will be for the Nintendo 3DS and it’s…
Among fans of Xbox 360 shooters, and that includes the two in my house, the great debate is whether Call of Duty: Black Ops or Halo: Reach is the better game online. Fans of the two series could endlessly debate the merits of their shooter of choice, but could they do it in awkward rap?…
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit promises to return one of the most successful racing video game in history to its roots, delivering an easy to understand, but still deep driving experience to gamers of all kinds… including fans of Mario Kart.

I loved the original Dungeon Hunter. The iPhone Diablo-esque action game was one of the first iPhone games that felt like both something built for the iPhone and a solid, deep game. Here’s a look at Dungeon Hunter 2, complete with strangely mis-matched translator voice-overs.
