So, feel free to hit that jump and ask away. […]

I’m a big fan of the chainsaw, so when Gears of War was initially announced I collapsed on the floor and nearly died out of excitement. A gun with a chainsaw attachment is a brilliant thing, and I don’t think I will be any less inclined to love it the second time around with Gears […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I’m down with people reporting on inside information, but leading me on is another thing. According to PlayStationLifestyle, Sony will announce an awesome, jaw-dropping, amazing, and very exclusive title for the PS3 on August 3.

Ever since the firmware update allowed me to make lightsaber sounds by swinging around my iPhone, I have been pondering the vast possibilities of games and applications on the device.
