My Thoughts on the Xbox Conference
The Microsoft conference was the first press event today to kick off the E3 excitement, and it delivered enough content to keep us entertained early in the morning (well, morning for us on the West coast). A breakdown of what was presented can be found here, but I’ll list what I liked and disliked from…

Esme’s Top Games of 2011
Every year people meditate on all the video games, books, movies, and albums they’ve sampled, and then compile top number lists to put their favorites in a hierarchy. I’m not usually one for fads, but this process does actually allow us to reflect on the great works of art we’ve had the privilege to experience…

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).

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.

SG PAX Prime 2011: Lollipop Chainsaw
Here’s the rundown: You’re a cute blonde cheerleader named Juliet. San Romero High, the school you used to cheer at, is now infested with zombies. Your job is to head over to the school and figure out the cause of the infestation while destroying any zombies standing in your way. There’s blood, rainbows, limbs and…
