For those of you who read my last piece, you might recall that I'm a bit of a Sony enthusiast. As such, not only am I asked if my latest obsession, the Playstation Vita, is worth buying, but what games should be picked up with it as well. So for all of you out there that are contemplating buying Sony's sexy new portable, or for those current owners that don’t know what games are worth purchasing, I thought it would be best to put together this list of Vita games that may or may not...
Resident Evil 6: A New Strain of Survival Horror
A few months ago I downloaded Resident Evil 4 HD for my Xbox 360 and was transported into nostalgic bliss. RE4 is one of my top 10 favorite games of all time, and I was surprised by how well it had aged seven years after its release. It reinvigorated the franchise, redefined the survival horror genre and essentially created the over-the-shoulder perspective that has become the staple of every third person shooter since. Simply put, if it weren’t for Resident Evil 4, there never would have...

It was love at first sight and from that moment on, I became an early adopter of all of things Sony. My fervent adoration survived last year's headline gobbler, 'PSN-gate', as well as the infamous 'What the hell are you thinking selling the PS3...
5 Things Blizzard Learned Since Diablo II
In the twelve years since Diablo II was first released some pretty noteworthy things have happened. In that time, the console generation has made two enormous leaps and a total of seventeen (!) Call of Duty games have been unleashed upon the world – seriously. Blizzard has since redefined both the MMO and RTS genres and jump-started the eSports scene. And as one of the more artful studios around, Blizzard has been hard at work with Diablo III which will undoubtedly blow our minds and...
Horror-bly Off Track: How Resident Evil Stopped Being Scary
2012 may very well be the Year of Resident Evil. Not in the sense of Capcom's longstanding franchise being a show-stopper and a frontrunner for multiple Game of the Year nods – not yet anyway – but in terms of sheer releases. So far, Capcom has released two Resident Evil titles this year, with one more major release to come. Revelations and Operation Raccoon City were meant to ready us for the most anticipated installment coming in the last half of the year, Resident Evil...
