Review - Mass Effect 2

Space opera Mass Effect has come back in it's long awaited sequel, Mass Effect 2. If you played the first one and found it enjoyable, then you will find this one to be even better in all the right areas. This time around however, are we really playing the same game? Or has it become something completely different? I definitely found something to enjoy in the sequel, and even if you haven't played the original, Bioware has again crafted something that shouldn't be missed.

Review - Torchlight

It's a fantastical world filled with wonder and warmth. It's also a mysterious and dark abyss filled with depth and intrigue. Whenever you wander a dungeon picking up treasures and fighting endless hordes of baddies, whenever you barter with the townsfolk, and whenever you transform your pet into a giant spider, it adds to the great and addictive feeling you get from playing Runic Games' first foray into gaming, Torchlight. The brainchild of ex Blizzard developers really shows a lot of loving affection and attention, but even so, is it the next big thing in action RPG's, or is it something really forgettable?

B Gata H Kei Episode 1

So, let me get this straight: We have a girl named Yamada, and she is going to high school for her first year. Okay, that's reasonable. But then they throw this in my face; her high school 'goal' is to get one hundred notches on her bedpost. Okay.. now we are entering the awkward, cringe territory. In other words, I prepared myself to see another anime dripping with fan service and sexual innuendo galore. And for the most part that's what it ended up being, but what the show does do for light hearted comedies, it does well enough to keep me watching.

Supreme Commander 2 Preview

After playing the Just Cause 2 demo endlessly for the past while after it came out, they recently released another demo onto the marketplace. The sequel to the 2007 RTS hit Supreme Commander. And surprisingly, just like Just Cause 2, it is published by Square Enix. Because I had started playing StarCraft again recently, this new demo sparked my interest. After playing it for a bit, I was somewhat satisfied, but never having played the first one and that combined with the seemingly pointless tutorial that didn't really teach me anything kind of turned me off to this sequel. But that being said, it did have it's interesting moments as well.

Heroman - Episode 1 Preview

What do you get when you take one of the greatest minds in american comics Stan Lee, and introduce him to the  wonderful japanese artists at Bones? You get a product that verges on cliche, but contains so much polish and spunk, that it can stand up as one of this seasons best new upcoming shows. The first episode definitely gives a sense of updated nostalgia, from the designs of the characters (specifically the overgrown Heroman) to the setting and antagonists. And you can tell from the first time that Heroman is deployed, that this will be a great action packed show.
