Now for a GOOD review.

So this is how my mental process went on this one. I'm subscribed on Youtube to Supra Darky's channel where this Canadian guy puts up a different video game song nearly EVERY DAY. I hadn't checked my subscription in awhile so I decided to see what video game tunes he was rocking today. I found a song from the game No More Heroes 2 and this intrigued me. I reviewed this bloodstained Wii game back in 2008 for the Doane Owl, and wanted to see what good ol' Travis Touchdown, the main character was up to. The song is poppy, catchy and borderline the greatest thing I've heard all week. This led me to check out the game in general. and IGN brings us their review of No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle.

Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting!

Do you love Mortal Combat, but think it's too bloody and violent? Do you love Street Fighter, but are tired of Ryu and Chung-li hogging the spot light? Well I've got the generic fighter for you. King of Fighters XII. Gamespot shares a video review with us. Sorry guys, this one doesn't sound like a knock out.

Video Game Movies, a Collection of Hit and Miss Masterpieces

Prince of Persia may be the newest video game movie to come out (why Disney has it I'll never know...) but let us not forget the roots! IGN just created an index of all video game movies made or in development. Roll, Camera, Action!

Prince of Persia- the newest Disney princess

Disney has grabbed the Prince of Persia series and has made it their newest comodity... but it's going to be a pretty! The upcoming Prince of Persia movie looks gorgeous, but before we get to that, there is a new game. Here's Gamestop's first impression.

I'd eat it.

Enough Said.

Final Fantasy XI; Down but not Out

With the release of the new bright and shiny Final Fantasy XIV as a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) coming sometime this year, many of begun to believe the less successful MMORPG Final Fantasy XI is going to be shut down for good. But the head Honcho of Square Enix says differently.

Australia's gamers are the scariest gamers

Fear the computer nerd! Or at least that's what they're doing in Australia as one single politician refuses to allow mature rated video games in the country. His latest announcement of the fear baffles the mind. It's the land down under restrictions...

Video Game Love is in the Air!

Valentines day approaches. Stereotypically, it's not a big day for game nerds as they wallow in their basement on a "date" with Zelda, Jill Valentine or any other video game heroine. X-play was nice enough to share with us the Top Five Gaming Love Stories and show us at least someone is getting some... even if they are digital beings.

The Final Fantasy Challenge

This is my attempt to prove my gamer cred. I have started what I call "The Final Fantasy Challenge." The idea originally was to play through all the Final Fantasy main series games (Final Fantasy 1-12 with Final Fantasy X-2 replacing the MMORPG that was Final Fantasy 11) before the March release of Final Fantasy 13. For those of you who know about Final Fantasy games, they aren't short and they aren't easy.

With every passing day I realize that I am not going to make it to my scheduled finish time. I started the challenge December 1st and have played through Final Fantasy 1-7 as of now. What excites me the most about this project I can couple it with my blog and when it is over give an in-depth review on all the games and perhaps even rank them. This will all be topped off with my review of Final Fantasy 13, which hits stores in the U.S. March 9th.

But for now, as I am going to need to buy a new copy of Final Fantasy 8 as my disc is scratched to hell and back, I am off to play Final Fantasy 9!

A New Rock Band For All us American Idiots

There has been many Rockband/Guitar Hero games featuring a single artist as a God among rockers. First there was Aerosmith, followed by Metallica, then The Beatles and most recently Van Halen. Who is next to join the ranks of such All Star music makers? ...Greenday??? Interesting choice MTV Games...

New Games from Nintendo!? About Time!

I've been waiting since The New Super Mario Bros. Wii for another Mario infused platforming fun fest. Nintendo is ready to spill the beans on their most recent projects.

And the OTHER Big Game Release Today...

The long awaited sequel to Bioshock has finally arrived at your local gameatorium. Bioshock 2 has promised a lot for it's anxious fanboy to wait for; does it live up to they hype? Let's let IGN decide.

See!? Old books are Good for Something!

A video game based on a book... that didn't get turned into a movie!? This is most intriguing. The game is based on the old poem by Dante called Divine Comedy. But the important part to know is this is all about the different levels of hell. Here's everything G4 says you know to know about Dante's Inferno.

Xbox Leaves the Internet

The original Xbox has been getting up there in years and now is losing it's online support. This is causing quite a few issues, especially for Halo 2 fans. Kotaku explains what all the trouble is here.
