Review: Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
I have a startling confession to make: I have never played a Halo game. It may be because secretly my family and friends are all Sony employees, or it may simply be that I did not have the means to play it back in the day. For a while I even disliked the Halo games…

Review: Dance Central 2
It’s that time of the year where we’re saturated with great games for the next couple of months, and we couldn’t be happier (although the same can’t be said for our wallets). As we’re still gliding around Arkham City, this Tuesday we’ll also be called to the front lines. I on the other hand received…

SG Review: Resident Evil: Code Veronica X HD
I can honestly assert that I like the Resident Evil series. Yet, I’ve only played the fifth game, which everyone else didn’t seem to like very much. That’s why I can also state that I’m a fan of re-releases, because there are some gamers out there, such as myself, who didn’t get to enjoy the…

SG Review: Valve Presents: The Sacrifice
I’m not much of a comic book nerd. Although I love mangas, as well as the heroes we now have from American comic books, I don’t delve into them as much as I should. Yet give it to Valve to convince me to read comics when they make them. Valve Presents: The Sacrifice, And Other Steam-Powered…

I love the concept of Rayne’s character since she’s essentially the female version of Blade, yet for a long while she was just reduced to sexuality and… sexuality. So when…

SG PAX Prime 2011: Final Fantasy XIII-2
If you ever listened to the Pink show, you already know my disdain for the last Final Fantasy game (if you didn’t listen to our podcast, you’re dead to me). It didn’t have the same feel I’ve come to know and love from the series, and despite its visual beauty, I was bored with every…

SG PAX Prime 2011: Rise of Nightmares
I’ve covered Kinect games quite a few times already, so you can tell I’m trying to justify my purchase (that I got for free from the actual Burger King). Although I feel motion control games still have some growing to do before they become as immersive and fun as Microsoft’s marketing says it is, I’m…

SG PAX Prime 2011: Orcs Must Die
I don’t play tower defense games. It’s not that I dislike them; I simply have never played them. So PAX was my first experience with the genre, and I must say, if all tower defense games are like Orcs Must Die, I’ll definitely be paying better attention to that branch of gaming.
