Given the volume of f-bombs and uninformed hate speech overheard during, oh, every game played over Xbox Live ever, we have to question if some of the service’s subscribers aren’t actually 5th graders. Anyway.

It was kind of an anti-climax to see the first BioShock 2 trailer as a piece of user-generated s-s-shaky cam. Ruined the mood. The breezy ambience. So let’s all pretend we never saw the shitty version, and instead, pretend this proper version of the trailer is all new. One thing’s for sure seeing it [...]

Fo’ rizzle, there be nothin’ really wrong with Saints Row 2. Actually, it’s quite amusing to read through the reviews of THQ’s great holiday hope. The critics pretty much say that SR2 is great fun, but doesn’t push the sandbox genre forward. With GTA’s realistic turn in [...]
