BioWare is one of those special developers that makes waves with every release. So it should be no surprise that Mass Effect 2, the sequel to one of the most successful new IPs of 2007, saw more hype than ever. Given how much I enjoyed the first game, I tried to avoid whenever possible any [...]

There are a few games that have a ton of things going for them; i.e. this and this. Most games on the market only have a few things going for them, but those few things pull the game along and ultimately make them fun and replayable. (example) And there are some games that really don’t [...]

Hello all.
Just thought I’d give a little explanation about a new post that I, MidwestGamer, will be starting. Hopefully those other fools who do this site will eventually do them too.
My new type of post is called the “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” reviews. These reviews will all be extremely short in length, so [...]

I have to be honest with you, oh loyal readers. I LOVE zombie stories. I love ‘em! Even if the story is dumb or cliche or anything, if it has zombies, I’m sure to find some enjoyment in it. So it was with great anticipation that I plugged Left 4 Dead 2 into my 360 [...]

I found myself continually putting off the writing this review, and half wishing Zack would do it instead. After having a few weeks with the game, I decided to bite the bullet and get my thoughts out in the open. Being the most controversial game of the year, there has already been a ton of [...]

With the swipe of a ratchet and the clang of bolts scattering the vast lands of your tv screen, the new Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time continues the story of our beloved heroes.

It’s been almost 5 years since the last iteration of Gran Turismo, considered by many to be the definitive racing simulator.
