To: Luke From: Crecente It’s Friday and I managed to just squeeze in that promised write up about our new review system. I spent today writing, eating cheese burgers and playing Medal of Honor. It was a good day. Oh, don’t forget, Totilo is at New York Comic-Con as we speak. He’s also stopping by…
Game reviews are a contentious thing. At their best they inform the reader, raise issues about a game, dig out deeper meaning in interactive entertainment.

Danger Close’s reboot of the Medal of Honor series stirred up quite a bit of controversy because of its momentary inclusion of playable Taliban in the game’s multiplayer.

There were so much discussion and so many questions spurred by the two videos I posted from Gears of War 3 this morning that I went back to Microsoft for a walk-through of everything we were seeing in clips. Turns out there was a lot. This top video is a montage I created showing off…

Marvel and Activision today unveiled a new game coming to consoles next fall that casts players as new mutant recruits.

To: Ash From: Crecente Re: Time To Get A Jump On Halloween We recorded our podcast today, no live calls, no live lines. It was strange, but I think it was an interesting conversation between myself, Totilo and a special guest… not a developer or anything. But great stuff. I’m hoping to post the podcast…
