Serious Sam continues in the great line of FPS titles that were spawned from the first Castle Wolfenstein. If you like Doom, Duke Nukem, Unreal, or Quake-style gaming, then you’ll know what kind of action to expect out of Serious Sam.

Arguably one of the most anticipated games of all time, Doom III first was shown two years ago. Doom III is extremely dark, which is nothing new to since Quake is the same. Both series have been largely rooted in the occult. With more pentagrams in the game than pellets of sand on a beach you get the idea that the game is really demonic. Read the rest of this entry »
Racing games are similar to fighting games. It's fun to play with your buddies, but doing it alone get's real boring, real fast. It's no wonder, then, that Burnout Paradise surprised me in ways I'd never thought possible. There you are, driving around in a huge city that just looks amazing, with challenges being thrown at your face just about wherever you go. You see ramps to jump over, shortcuts to be discovered, billboards to smash everywhere...It's just mind blowing. Read the rest of this entry »
Thousands of years of human civilization were toppled during the Great Fall. Sixty years later, Mobile Suits have reappeared and destroyed an orphanage, setting Tristan and Fritz, the sole survivors, out to bring the culprits to justice. Along the strictly linear way they meet a variety of nicely imaged characters with cookie-cutter souls, acquire new abilities and equipment, and learn, ironically enough, that building a successful future means not repeating the past.

You will see Agrabah, Wonderland, and many other spots; there will be more of them than you think, you won't know what they are until you get there, and I can guarantee at least Read the rest of this entry »
The creator is extremely vast and has many many things you can do with it, but before you can do anything, you have to go through about 25 tutorials, which are pretty informative, but you'll be asking yourself when the hell am I going to get to create? It's not exactly too simple either. Read the rest of this entry »

For the most part, Sonic makes the leap onto the Wii without much fuss. Tilting the Wii Remote to the left and right moves Sonic in that respective direction; the '1' and '2' buttons control stopping and jumping. Like with everything else about this game, it takes some getting used to, but after a few minutes Read the rest of this entry »
