Some missions, such as the high-octane heists and explosive firefights, truly capture the essence of the Call of Duty series. The…

More Thoughts From Me: The Year of Square Enix

That said, the game looked amazing. Then Visions of Mana came out in August, Romancing Saga 2 remake, and pretty soon Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D. Its been great year for Square Enix.

Is Dragon Age’s Lack of DLC a Good Thing?

Bioware’s latest Dragon Age is out, and it’s good. Critics have called it a return to form for a series that’s lacked form for a long time. It won’t be getting DLC. Is this a good thing?

Remasters, Re-releases and Sonic

We booted up the new version of Sonic Generations this morning, and it was a blast. In fact, it was exactly the same blast it was when we played it on PC 12 months ago. That’s not strictly true. There are some new bits, some re-recorded lines of dialogue. New things can be found. Places that had slowdown, even on a fairly beefy PC, don’t have slowdown in the newly released version of the game. All of these are pretty…
