NO MORE HEROES 2: DESPERATE STRUGGLE Review
February 22, 2010
Truth in advertising: A Desperate Struggle
Let’s face it: the Wii has the reputation for being the home for triple-A first party titles as well as innumerable casual games and mini-game collections. But there are Wii games that appeal to the hardcore audience; the two that immediately come to mind are the criminally overlooked Madworld and the original No More Heroes.

It looks like somebody has awakened the sleeping dog. The Wii is finally seeing some releases this week although as usual none of it really seems to matter with the possible exception of a certain underwater game. Speaking of underwater, this week’s only biggest hitter is barely a game in itself. You’ll see what I mean.

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.

HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! That’s right! It’s been an entire year, and this article is still around kicking ass! Well okay it doesn’t do that, but still. Who knew I could manage to pull this off for an entire year. Hell I didn’t. Anyways, it looks like Nintendo is still in hibernation this week with zero Wii releases and only about 5 DS releases. Maybe they’re afraid of the aliens and predators hanging around in the dark corners.
