COD: Black Ops Gun Game inspired by CS mod Gun Game?
The Call of Duty: Black Ops “Wager Match” trailer was shown to the press Wednesday evening in Los Angeles at the swank Activision event complete with open bar, music, and several gaming stations for hands on play. However, Gun Game seemed eerily similar to 4HM’s popular Counter-Strike mod Gun Game.

Review: Blazblue Continuum Shift and Makoto DLC
Last year we were graced by many great fighting games. Street Fighter 4 and Blazblue Calamity Trigger being among the best. Blazblue stood out for me because unlike Street Fighter this was a new series made from the same people who brought us the Guilty Gear franchise, Arc System Works. Continuum Shift offers so much [...]
Video Review: Super Street Fighter 4 (360, PS3)
I absolutely loved Street Fighter 4 and when I heard that Capcom was releasing an updated version of it, I thought “damnit! I have to give you guys more money?!” Luckily, it was worth it since SSF4 is a great add on to the original with enough content to really warrant the $40 dollar price [...]
Wonder who did the music for the LBP trailers?
Lots of times you hear catchy tunes in commercials that eventually get sickening, fast. A handful of rock band’s greatest hits were ruined by car commercials tapping into the aging 70s generation of teens sporting Ford trucks. These songs are about video games, Little Big Planet especially.

Review: Transformers War For Cybertron (360)
Just like many people my age and older Transformers were a big deal. Early mornings before catching the school bus I was treated to giant robots transforming into vehicles who then tried to kill each other.

Review: Soldner-X2: The Final Prototype (PSN)
Shmups haven’t had a huge presence this generation, but when you play a good shmup, it doesn’t matter what generation it is. Soldner-X was a decent shmup, but it ultimately fell short in the end with quite a few annoying problems. Does Eastasiasoft make the necessary improvements in order to push Soldner-X2 past the threshold [...]
