Better late than never?
After writing my previous article regarding my review for Alice: the Madness Returns I got motivated to finally sit down and compose my little review for Portal 2.

Review: Alice: Madness Returns
Once again as the resident spooky estrogen based life form it is a moral obligation for me to play and review Alice: The Madness Returns. So without further ado:
Enter into the rabbit hole:
Review: God of War III
If you haven’t played it yet, you should.
There is no question that the God of War series of games has been a hallmark of action gaming since the arrival of the original title. While only playing through pieces of the first game, I borrowed my good friend DLB10000′s PS2 (well into the 360′s life cycle mind you), corded controller and all, and played through the 480p-enabled copy of God of War II to a thoroughly satisfying and epic conclusion (I still reserve the right to bitch about the QTE ending, as it seemed disproportionately difficult with the rest of the game).

Dante’s Inferno…well, there are boobs
I will start this rant with a disclaimer: I really, REALLY love me some Dead Space. Visceral Games (the developer for both Dead Space and Dante’s Inferno) created a really freaky, memorable and engrossing video game experience; it really is one of my favorite games this generation, easily competing with Gears of War 2 and Bioshock.
One of my favorite games of LAST generation has unequivocally got to be God of War 2. I have not owned a single Sony console in my life, but I did borrow a PS2 from The DLB and worked my way through the entire game, a full two years after the launch of the Xbox 360. While the God of War series isn’t really a poster child for subtlety and restraint, the execution of the action, the breathtaking boss battles, and the ever-changing-but-always-well-delivered set pieces made me feel like we had actually moved the ball forward to the endzone known as True Cinematic Gaming™.
You can imagine, then, that I had (perhaps unreasonably) high hopes for Dante’s Inferno. A combination of God of War-style gameplay and a studio that created one of this generation’s coolest games? Instant win, yes? Continue reading
Try The Bayonetta Demo…I think…
Whoa.
So, not really for the kiddies…keep THAT in mind when you think about downloading/playing it.
There is a basic tutorial mode in the beginning that demonstrates what a badass bitch you are in the game. After that, they dump you into the most intensely confusing and difficult 3 minutes of gameplay you’ll ever play. I played it twice and nearly turned the demo off because I was SURE this was not a game for me.
Where for art Thou Accordion Hero?!?!?!?
Yes I am aware that AH was a lovely April fools joke, but with the launch of Guitar hero and its hipper brother Rock Band there has been talk of other offshoots (can we say DJ Hero?). It made me think about all of the other possibilities that could come out for video game fools.
