    SG PAX Prime 2011: Shoot Many Robots

    Shoot Many Robots is a game that puts you up against robots and your goal is to… wait for it… shoot as many of them as possible! It’s a title quite fitting of the overall purpose of its product. The demo I got to play at PAX had me and one of the developers going…

    SG Review: Fruit Ninja Kinect

    Despite several people disliking motion control (ahem, Yoshifett), there are a few games out there that work with the implementation.

    SG E3 2010: Warriors of Rock may actually rock?

    When the name “Guitar Hero” is dropped, it’s almost rare to hear praise and admiration nowadays – in Yamster’s case, it’s nothing but screams and items being flung across the room.  For a while it seemed like the market for music video games had been bled dry, and Activision did most of the cutting.  That’s…
