When the Playstation 3 was launched back in 2006, it was hands-down the most powerful game console we’d ever seen.  It’s potential surpassed the Xbox 360 by a noticeable margin, though it was clear it would take years to realize such power.  If Sony America CEO Kaz Hirai gives the PS3 a ten-year life cycle

Five years ago Quantic Dream struck a nerve with Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit). The game was not a financial success but it received moderate critical acclaim for it’s innovations in story telling and cinematic gameplay. Quantic Dream’s upcoming PS3 title Heavy Rain is a game that is hard to categorize to a specific genre.  I’d almost go

Mass Effect 2 is shaping up to be one of the many ‘must have’ games of 2010.  I was a bit ambivalent towards the first game, but the sequel (the second in a planned trilogy) truely does look impressive.  Have a watch, and leave your feedback.  Anyone out there already picked this one up?

If, like me, you spend many an hour in front of one sort of screen or another then you’ll no doubt want to be as comfortable as possible while you’re there. Thankfully there are numerous and varied solutions on offer to match most budgets. Let’s look at a few that have caught my eye. As

Based loosely on Dante Alighieri’s poem, Dante’s Inferno is one man’s crusade through the nine levels of hell.  LP takes you through the game, which graphically looks to be quite a stunner.  Gameplay is pretty standard 3rd person, but definitely has a religious undertone.  So, if you are looking for a little bit of sexy

TechnoBuffalo user Brent Dennison posted a great video on his sub blog showing him rocking the first three levels of the new Mario Bros game for the Wii.  Not only did I learn where a ton of 1Up’s were hidden, I also realized how bad I am at the game.  If you have a Wii
