Guitar Hero: On Tour Guitar Hero: On Tour

When DDR first hit the local arcade, there were two crowds that loved to play it – the weekenders and the during-the-weekers. On the weekends, all kinds of people would show up, taking turns, laughing as they failed song after song, cheering for the rare vict …

Civilization Revolution Civilization Revolution

Sid Meier is universally recognized as the master of computer game design. I remember playing F-15 Strike Eagle, on my old Commodore 64 when I was a kid. Civilization is his masterpiece, delighting millions of gamers and evolving through several versions. Civ, f …

Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice

Nippon Ichi’s unique brand of niche turn-based gameplay finally makes the leap to current generation consoles in Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice. Though to be perfectly honest I’m not exactly sure why, given that this latest sequel still very much lo …

The Incredible Hulk The Incredible Hulk

As the story goes in my family, when I was a toddler I had a certain affinity for The Hulk. Apparently, equipped with a special pair of green Under-Roos, I would tromp around the house flexing my muscles and growling. This is one of those stories that my mother will nev …
