Another night of L.A. Noire. Really hoping the game can draw me in, otherwise I might move onto another game. We shall see. Enjoy the movie like experience and follow the break for the chat.

Update: Nope. Can’t play this game. Honestly, it is outrageously repetitive, boring, controls terribly, and falls apart logically at times. Add this to the long list of Rockstar games I tried and didn’t enjoy. Not sure whether I’ll revisit it or not. If I do, it won’t be during a live stream because I have a feeling this game will be filled with annoyances that just make me want to stop playing. And that isn’t something I like to do during a stream. Anyhow, feel free to observe my frustrations above and after the break as well. Read more… »

The Fallout series has taken you all over the United States – and this time, Obsidian is keen to send you to Utah to help Happy Trails Caravan on an expedition to Zion National Park. But it isn’t just any old job: Joshua Graham, the famous Burned Man from New Vegas’ main storyline, is the star of the show.

So, given the expectations, the burning question must be: “it worth paying $10 to meet Joshua Graham?”

Tonight I will be diving into Rockstar’s L.A. Noire. Join me as I solve some crimes and interrogate some suspects. As always, the embedded chat is after the break. Enjoy!

Update: Not sure about this game thus far. Albeit I’m only two hours in so I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt but so far some of the logic is flawed, the controls are awful, and the game feels pretty boring. Really hoping it draws me in soon otherwise it will be like every single Rockstar game I’ve ever played – play for a couple hours, say “meh” and move on to another game.

First person tower defense games are a rare breed, and certainly not a proven one. Ever since the lowly RTS genre birthed the tower defense genre, pretty much every developer out there tried to make a quick buck off the concept, and as a result, left many gamers nay saying the genre. Well, fear not, inexperienced tower carpenters, because Indie developer Coffee Stain Studios wants to make you a believer with Sanctum.

Is Sanctum worth the $15 plunge? Take a break from building that lengthy maze of yours, and read on to find out.

Given the amount of hype it’s received, odds are you’ve seen tons of promotional materials for Brink – an off the wall dystopian FPS by developer Splash Damage. By striking familiar cords with Mirror’s Edge, classic arena shooters, and Team Fortress 2, Brink is taking on the insurmountable task of attempting to appeal to just about every FPS fan out there.

If you’ve seen any screenshots, you’d notice that Brink has an awfully sharp aesthetic direction, but how does everything else stack up?

After a week of constant lower back pain I am finally able to sit back and play some more games! Tonight, after the plethora of news about Dark Souls, I have decided to dive back into one of my favorite games: Demon’s Souls. Please join me as I die many, many times and hopefully kill me some demons.

Update: This game never fails to draw me in. Tonight it was a six hour gaming session and was worth every minute. Demon’s Souls is hands down one of the best games I have ever played. While it can be frustrating at times, the sheer amount of rewarding moments that fill this game makes it more than worth it. Hit the jump to check out the latter 4 hours. Otherwise, enjoy the first two above. Read more… »

This is part four of a four part, in-depth study of what makes a great game. Reader be forewarned, there be spoilers afoot.

If you’ve read the reviews for Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, you already have a sense for how fantastic the game is.
