You may have seen me mocking and ranting about Ubisoft’s DRM that they’ve included in Assassin’s Creed 2. Now consumers who haven’t been paying much attention to gaming news sites such as this are beginning to pay for the unneeded severity of Ubisoft’s rights management software. Following this thread on the Ubisoft website about the issue shows that this issue started many hours ago and is currently ongoing. This is... Read→
The famous developer of games: American McGee, has started working on a gory version of Little Red Riding Hood, and has published concept art for this new game in progress. On his Flickr page the games creator posted: “This is something Ken Wong and I have been working on for years – a concept built on “Little Red Riding Hood” Truth be told, this Little Red Riding Hood kicks butt! The imagery that was shown, comes from the... Read→
PopCap Games is a relatively popular game company, their most well-known games being Peggle, Bejewled, Plants vs. Zombies. Well, the first two had been ported to the iPhone/iPod touch quite some time ago, and Plants vs. Zombies has just made its way onto the platform. PopCap has made their roots in the PC gaming industry with their roster of games, but they’re not shy to huge success in the App Store, either… Both Bejeweled 2 and Peggle... Read→
Digital Rights Management (herein DRM) has been taken to greater, more ridiculous heights as of late, and Ubisoft’s announcement about the DRM in place for Assassin’s Creed 2 just ups the ante. DRM is put in place to deter piracy across many different types of media. Does it work? Of course not! If pirates want something for free, they will get it. Simple as that. All DRM does is hurt the people paying for the media. That means that the... Read→

Now after high anticipation and much excitement Activision has finally brought us Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 which has completely blown away the original Modern Warfare game.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 has recently been announced. Hype for the game has been building steadily, and I’m personally incredibly excited for its imminent release. The original Sonic games for the Nintendo Genesis were my childhood addictions. I played the crap out of every single one of those games, then went back and played them again. As soon as the series broke out into the third dimension, I felt that it had lost its roots and I had completely... Read→
GridWars 2 is a clone of the popular Xbox Live Arcade game, Geometry Wars. It runs on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. And it’s totally free. If you are a fan of Geometry Wars, this is worth a look. It has strikingly similar visuals and gameplay. Only downside is the lack of variety… It has but one gametype, which is just to kill as many enemies as you can to rank up points. The game can be played with a controller (or “joypad”),... Read→
Now, I know that this is just a demo, so it doesn’t really deserve a review, but it’s a pretty hyped-up game, so I figured I’d give it one anyway. The demo hit the Playstation Network today, and I grabbed it as soon as I could. After the long download, and the short-but-seemingly-endless installation, I jumped right on in. I’m actually playing as I type this up… Taking breaks in-between sentences. I can’t put... Read→
James Cameron’s Avatar Game was one of the games I had to buy after I had seen the outstanding movie, 5* rating on the movie. The game was a big let down considering the movie was amazing, I mean overall the game looked really good visually but the game play itself was not as good as it could of been had they had put more thought into it. This game really reminds me of Prince of Persia but in the way that Assassins Creed doesn’t, the... Read→
