Rumor Control: Grand Theft Auto 4
Category: Rumor | Leave a Comment
The “Hype”. It’s inescapable. Companies spend millions in advertising, building up positive reaction for a game before it hits stores. You see it everywhere.

Side by side comparison of F.E.A.R. on the PS3 and 360
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Comparison screenshots are one thing, but when you do a well-done comparison video, trying to discern the difference between a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 cross-platform game suddenly takes on a much different meaning. Of course, F.E.A.R. may not be the best game to compare since it was originally a PC title, then a 360 […]
