    Lonely (or romantically neglectful) gamers of the world, for once make plans for Valentine’s Day this year. While others are out swapping chocolates and smooching the night away all lovey-dovey, turn the lights down low, light a nice, warm fire, nudge on your favorite mood […]

    VGBlogger Year-End Dance Off

    Way the hell back in 1969, Sydney Pollack directed an uplifting little movie called “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” For moviegoers whose cinematic memory stalls out somewhere around the first Spider-Man flick, it starred a young Jane Fonda as a wannabe starlet roped into a […]

    Review: Rabbids: Alive & Kicking

    The reigning king of motion-controlled minigame madness stands about three feet high, has a nose that could double as a pink water balloon and is more flatulent than the last half hour of a beer and barbeque bash. You know him as Wario, Mario’s evil […]

    Review: Michael Phelps: Push the Limit

    Microsoft’s Kinect peripheral, much like the late Jim McKay, has spanned the globe, giving us the constant variety of (motion-controlled) sports. We’ve thrilled to hands-free video game approximations of all the majors and also gone extreme, rocking everything from jungle parkour to hang-gliding. One of […]

    Review: Leedmees

    Ah, to be a Leedmee. To be completely firm of purpose, striding ever forward with no regard whatsoever to alternative approaches or obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goal. Sounds a little like most of our modern politicians, actually. Unfortunately, it’s not your job […]

    Review: The Gunstringer

    Like a cardboard-cutout tumbleweed upside the head, Microsoft’s Kinect has found both its face and newest hero: A blue-skulled, pistol-wielding puppet with a vengeance streak wider than a Wal-Mart parking lot. That’d be the Gunstringer, the taciturn hero of Twisted Pixel’s brilliantly loopy action-western. Thanks […]
