More Karaoke Nostalgia with Lips: I Love the 80’s
March 8, 2010
Now here’s a karaoke game taken straight from my iPod (along with Guitar Hero: Metallica). Judging by track list, Microsoft’s Lips: I Love the 80’s you get a group of your thirty-something friends and mix thoroughly with copious amounts of booze, and you have the makings of quite possibly the best evening ever.

Mass Effect 2 Review
February 18, 2010
Bioware has a very ambitious plan for the Mass Effect trilogy. Namely, they’re aiming to make a trilogy in the truest sense of the word. They want to tell a story so big that one game alone isn’t going to be enough. They even want to tell side stories within the universe that don’t start and end in one game. But it still has to be a game, and like any good game, it can’t discount the player. They must have their part in shaping the story. These are all big aspirations, but with Mass Effect 2, it’s starting to get much closer to reality.

Bayonetta Review
February 11, 2010
I believe Captain Jack Sparrow of Pirates of Caribbean fame said it best. Another character, upon seeing his little improvised “catapult”, told Jack that he was mad. “Thank goodness for that,” replied Jack “Because if I wasn’t, this’d probably never work.” That was right before he fires off the canon that basically propelled him through the air back to his ship. The lesson? Sometimes crazy works, and Bayonetta just runs with it. Whether you’re watching a cutscene, pulling of one of the many combos that Bayonetta has in her arsenal, killing bosses about a hundred times bigger than her, or just skating around on her ice skates, Bayonetta is desperately trying to get a picture of herself into the dictionary under “crazy”. But who am I argue reason when crazy just works so well.
