There Will Be A Killzone 2 Demo…
Monday, January 5th, 2009

Written by Chris Rah Osiris This is not news to many. The real news is that the demo will not be available until after the game is released. Gamestop will have a demo for those that pre-order the title. I pre-ordered from Amazon and will be forced to wait for the game to be released [...]

Trophy Guide – Crash Commando
Monday, January 5th, 2009

CRASH COMMANDO Crash Commando is the first game created by Swedish developer EPOS Game Studios.  You can think of Crash Commandos as a mix of Bionic Commando and Warhawk.  The game looks and plays much like Bionic Commando, but the core of the game is the fast paced action similar to Warhawk.  The game includes [...]

PS3 Review – Haze
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

This posting of my review of Haze I wrote earlier in 2008 is in honor of a studio that brought us a beloved franchise (Timesplitters) and is, unfortunately, under a little pressure lately. Free Radical in no way deserves to be left out in the cold, and we sincerely hope that some investors step forward…soon.
