Before I can even begin this review, I must preface it by saying that Hearts of Iron III is not for 75% of gamers out there (maybe more). It is for the hardest of the hardcore strategy gamers. Thanks to a ridiculous learning curve and poor tutorial system, new comers to the HoI series should expect to put in a few days of learning before playing the game.

That being said, let me add that Hearts of Iron III is one of the most in depth strategy games ever made. If you are willing to sit down and try to figure out whats going on, you will  have a very rewarding experience. Read more… »

Every year around this time we begin to speculate on who we thought “won” E3 2009. It’s not Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft this year. It all comes down to one man, who showed off the most new surprised in comparison to anyone else. At the Konami press conference Kojima-san revealed yet another major title: Castlevania: Lord of Shadows.

The latest trailer does have a bit of low resolution, but it is absolutely georgous none the less. You’re back controlling the whip of a man torn due to the loss of his wife. With great voice acting by well-known talent, Lord of Shadows cannot come fast enough.
