Max Payne 3 Review – Noir Meets South America

June 4th, 2012 | by Mike Gwilliam

Max Payne 3 isn't a classic that will live on forever. It is, however, a very good game with a weaving narrative, superb dialogue, and fun gameplay. If you enjoyed previous Max Payne games, then you'll also enjoy this one either as a rental or as a full purchase. And for anyone who appreciates a good noir story, look no further

Houston, We Have a Problem – Angry Birds Space Review

March 27th, 2012 | by Mike Gwilliam

Chances are if you own an iPhone or Android, then you've probably played Angry Birds. Or heard of it. After all, it has over 500 million downloads to its name, and that is saying something. Despite being very simplistic, the game is addicting and very fun. It's so addictive, in fact, that one time when I was on the bus going to a meeting downtown, I ended up missing a stop I'd taken hundreds of times before because I was so into completing one level

Cafe Foonzo – The Happiest Place on Earth

March 16th, 2012 | by Megan Dougherty

What would you say if I told you that there was a place you could play boardgames, video & arcade games and pinball totally for free. And it has beer. And cheesecake. It would be a little like dying and going to geek heaven, wouldn’t it? It’s real, and it’s in Montreal

March 12th, 2012 | by Mike Gwilliam

According to our insider source, Nintendo has at least three new franchises in development by various studios for the Wii U. Nintendo has always been under criticism for recycling their existing franchises over and over again, and it seems that Nintendo may have taken some of that criticism to heart.

How Companies Should Utilize Next Gen DLC

February 24th, 2012 | by Mike Gwilliam

Downloadable Content (DLC) can be a double-edged sword. For some games, it can enrich an experience by providing new adventures, new game types, new characters, and most importantly, more fun. Sometimes however, the price tag for these new features is too high and all you end up getting is the generic same-old stuff from the original game – for example

How Sega Got its Groove Back, and How Mario Got Some Tail

February 9th, 2012 | by Mike Gwilliam

This week's column comes from Andrew Braid, who is quite skilled in the art of writing. I was thrilled when he said yes to a guest review, and here it is in all its glory. And it's no typical review either: this is a double dose of awesomeness. By this point in its life span, the gaming industry has become more and more like the Hollywood movie industry. Namely, ideas get rehashed and remade constantly, to the point where it’s almost the only output; justified as being the only way

NHL 12: Is It Better? Yes, but how much?

January 11th, 2012 | by Mike Gwilliam

Hockey is probably the easiest sport to translate into a video game. It's action-packed, it's fast-paced and the physicality of the sport itself can make for some incredible moments. Enter NHL 12, EA's newest hockey video game. I've reviewed NHL 10 and NHL 11 these past two years, and now, here we are again. Each game has been better than its previous incarnation, but does NHL 12 warrant a purchase if you already own the former games? Find out in this review
