Mercenaries 2: “Levelling a Whole Country to get Paid”
We have been excited for Mercenaries 2 for a while now… the fact that the developer’s requirement for design of the game is that “If you can’t blow it up, it’s not in the game” is just nothing but awesome. GameTrailers has an extended gameplay/explosion/interview video up that we wanted to share with you… the folks [...]

Thursday, May 29, 2008
Splatterhouse follows college student Rick Taylor as he tries to rescue his girlfriend, Jennifer, who has disappeared after entering the mysterious and run-down West Mansion. Confronted by horrific other-worldly creatures, Rick comes across a mystical sentient mask that promises to give him the power to find Jennifer. Full of desperation and rage, Rick puts on [...]
Continue reading...Condemned 2: Scary Fucking Game
Monday, March 24, 2008
Ok so I got a chance to download and play the Condemned 2 demo from PSN (I never played Condemned 1) and I have to say… that is a scary fucking game. Remember how Jericho was suppose to be super scary and it ended up just being a mindless shooter that didn’t do any 1 thing [...]
Continue reading...Rambo Movie Review
Thursday, January 31, 2008
Summary [8.5 out of 10] Rambo is a visceral, serious, action packed movie about the rescue of Christian missionaries from war-torn Burma and it’s military. Stallone’s execution of this movie is so raw and completely devoid of cheesy lines or “typical action hero” antics that you can’t help but walk out of the theater with respect for [...]
Continue reading...Ninja Gaiden 2, Gorey and Awesome
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
CVG has a piece saying that Ninja Gaiden 2’s gore is over the top… and they are right, which is why I want to play it. I played Ninja Gaiden on the PS3, and it was cool… but damn, if it had been this gorey, I would have been that much more interested in the battles… [...]
Continue reading...Shoot ‘Em Up Movie Review
Tuesday, January 29, 2008
Summary [7 out of 10] Shoot ‘Em Up is a ridiculously paced, non-stop action movie that is a collection of surprisingly cohesive scenes that provide excuses for the director to realize constant over-the-top action sequences that are a blast to watch ending with a great cheesy one-liner from the main character. Setup If you plan on watching this [...]

Marc Chung just sent in what I think is an entry trailer for the Oscars this year… you decide:

Sunday, November 11, 2007
thecontaminated.com did a hell of a writeup covering 20 of the most gruesome torture devices from mankind’s history (I’m sure there are others not covered in this post that I would really rather not know about). Looking at some of these torture devices makes me wince… makes me wonder… how did one human being do this [...]
Continue reading...Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem Screens
Thursday, November 1, 2007
We covered the Alien vs. Predator: Requiem R-rated trailer before (which was awesome), but after digging up some new shots from the movie, it actually looks like there is some cross-breeding/engineering going on with this semi-reimaging of the beasts in this movie, check it out: That looks an awful lot like a Predator/Alien to me… which [...]

Monday, October 29, 2007
Filed in the You Just Got Your Face Owned department, it looks like the Simpsons Game developers let it fly that some parody that they included in the game of Grand Theft Auto sent the Rockstar developers into a tizzy, calling all their girlfriends and oh-no-you-didn’t-ing each other: “The game begins with Bart wanting to play [...]
Continue reading...Ninja Gaiden 2, Rated B for Baby Jesus
Monday, October 29, 2007
In the screenshot above we see our favorite ninja Ryu, from the Ninja Gaiden series, kicking a guys head off… which is one of the most effective ways of stopping an enemy. In case you are loving the gore, just a quick reminder that Ninja Gaiden 2 is going to be an XBox 360 exclusive for [...]
Continue reading...Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back is Gory!
Saturday, October 20, 2007
GameSpot has coverage on the new Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back, and word on the street is that it’s just as gory if not gorier than Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix which was probably on of the goriest war games ever made (e.g. shoot someone in the eye, see half their head blow off). A [...]
Continue reading...Video Game Violence, AO, Manhunt and More, Part 2
Friday, October 19, 2007
Continuing from Part 1 of Video Game Violence, AO, Manhunt and More… As I mentioned this whole topic was initiated by an email from Noah Jacobs-Andresen that discussed a core point to the issue that I hadn’t considered before and one that I think made it much easier for me to think about this subject, and [...]
Continue reading...Video Game Violence, AO, Manhunt and More, Part 1
Friday, October 19, 2007
(Part 2 is here) We covered the whole Manhunt 2 debacle (getting an AO rating, and banned in the UK) a few months back and it was an interesting topic to cover. For those that don’t know, even though the UK flat out banned Manhunt 2, the “AO” rating it was given essentially makes it [...]
Continue reading...God of War Review
Tuesday, March 20, 2007
Ok so I just wrapped playing God of War on my new PS3, and the final take is: Freaking awesome. Even though this game is a PS2 game and looks a little dated, especially on larger HDTV sets, the game play and effects that you do so are so well done and so exciting that you [...]

Thursday, February 22, 2007
I know what you are thinking… it’s impossible to go wrong with a game that has something like THAT in it… well you are mostly right, but a lot of people think you are wrong. Let’s have a look… Dead Rising is Capcom’s mall-horror-survival game that came out soon after the XBox 360 came out. I [...]
