While it certainly has its repercussions, who wouldn’t want to be a badass? Power, money, respect and some attraction from the opposite sex go hand in hand with the label if we are to believe Steven Seagal movies, however, Atlus’s upcoming Kenka Bancho shows us that the times of a badass can also be fun.…

While the Nintendo DSi’s anticipated release has come and gone, it seems little has been done to take advantage of its features. With expanded audio features and two cameras, one would think we would be seeing more in regard to innovative games that take advantage of said features.

Island Officials is looking to bring the most popular puzzle craze from the East since Sudoku to the Nintendo DS, and with the simplicity of the title, Hands On! Tangrams should be a perfect fit for the system. The premise has players manipulating five right triangles (two small, two large and one medium in size),…

If you’re as old as I am, you may not have noticed, but Bakugan has become a pretty big thing.

I was able to attend the Need for Speed event at the BLVD nightclub in New York City recently along with my colleague and fiancee, the beautiful Aileen Coe. A big deal has been made about NFS:S being a chance for the Need for Speed franchise as EA tries to expand the brand a bit.…

Championship Manager used to be a name that was held sacred by PC gamers all around the world (except in America for obvious reasons). A simple football management game programmed by two English brothers in their bedroom back in 1992 grew to be a global phenomenon with not one, but two releases that are contenders…

With a title too blunt to be pornographic and a look straight out of my video store haunting adolescence, WET from Bethesda Softworks has the makings of a cult classic. From the opening screen on, there is a game feature that will pretty much decide if this is the game for you or not: faux…

So the demo for Dissidia hit the Playstation Network yesterday and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Most of that comes from my deep dark desire to pummel Tidus from FFX into the ground for about ten hours or so, but I digress. Now it should be noted that the demo seems…

Hearts of Iron III Publisher: Paradox Interactive Developer: Paradox Interactive Genre: Grand Strategy Release Date: Q3 2009 I won’t lie.
