UncategorizedKevin Butler, VP Of Gamer Inspiration
Even if Sony didn’t have the most amazing E3 press conference this year, it did contain the single best moment at a press conference this year. This is that moment. He might just be an actor, but he’s our actor. Technically I guess he is Sony’s actor, but I’m sure we can work out some…

Shank Hands-On: A Long Chain of (Dead) Fools
First I shanked the guy, then I shot him, then I stuffed a grenade down his throat and punched him in the face, then it exploded, and then he died. That’s Shank, a love note to old-school beat-em-ups and ridiculously long chained-attack sequences. Klei Entertainment’s second published game is coming late this summer for Xbox…

Conduit 2 Eyes-On Impressions: Re-Rigging the Adventure
Well, isn’t this timely. Conduit 2 begins with uncontrollable calamity out at sea on an oil rig. A coincidence, says High Voltage Software, but isn’t that what their shadow government would want you to think?

My Two Favorite Xbox Kinect Experiences So Far
I’ve played a bunch of controller-free Kinect games (and watched Crecente dance through one!). Some are cool, some familiar. Some are a little broken.
