Alrighty so the conference hasn’t officially started but we went down to get my badge and took a bunch of pictures to share of what the place looks like before the show.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam Pure Gameplay Video
I’m not a Call of Duty junkie, but I do like shooters. I think Black Ops looks as interesting as the next guy. I finally played Modern Warfare (the 1st one) and have to play #2. All that being said, one of the games we did get sent for review at launch was Battlefield: Bad [...]
New Deus Ex: Human Evolution Trailer is Amazing
Deus Ex is a classic. It was about global conspiracy and intrigue and you were right in the middle of it. Deus Ex 2 was less well received although I heard the story was quite good again. Ubisoft has taken Deus Ex and with the 3rd installment (Human Evolution) given it the Triple-A, Assassin’s Creed [...]

Medal of Honor Gameplay Videos – Sniper and Stealth
As someone who frequently complains about the lack of gore in these popular military first person shooters, you can’t imagine how happy I was to see full on head exploding in Medal of Honor sniper gameplay video.

Scott Pilgrim Vs the World Movie Review
