Hitman HD Collection: Has Agent 47 become ripe with old age?

This isn’t a review.  I thought about doing that, but then realised that I’d be writing about games that are 10, 8 and 6 years old that have been reviewed to death already, and aren’t in need of another internet page telling you what the stories are about.  Instead I’m going to recap my time with the HD collection and aim to give an idea on how I felt playing these again, and also how they stack up by today’s standards, especially as...

'Cowboy Bebop:' Great Series, or Greatest Series?

The series Cowboy Bebop has always had a presence in my life. My older brother was a huge fan of it when it came out, and growing up I always marveled at the few glimpses I could catch staying up late to watch Adult Swim or perhaps when they were airing the movie. I had never watched all 26 episodes, however, until last weekend. I enjoyed the series so much that I told myself; "If I don't see the last episode, I never have to stop watching." Last weekend I found myself on an especially long bus ride, and after watching episode 24 and 25 on my...

Lets Breakdown Thief's Screenshots

This could easily be assumed as a still from a cinematic. Could be the opening of the game or a monumental plot point. We're unsure if your bow can be upgraded or not but that arrow sure looks fancy. Stealth-based games like Hitman and Assassin's Creed require a certain essence of patience, strategy, and coordination. Eidos has stated that Thief will take those skills to a new level. This screenshot is taken at a...

*SPOILERS WITHIN* The above video is my take on a tribute to the Bioshock Trilogy set to "Back Where I Belong" by Baroness.

I love Irrational Games' world and I hope this video open up a few...

Reuters reports that Google along with hardware manufacturer ASUS are planning to release the next Nexus 7 this July. The revised Nexus 7 is likely to feature a larger screen than its predecessor by reducing the size...

Bioshock Infinite Review

Bioshock Infinite is the third game in the series that’s previously had us explore the underwater delights of the city of Rapture in 1960 as Jack, a plane crash survivor who discovers the city as it’s experiencing a civil war.  It gave gamers the opportunity to experience the notions of choice and freewill through its lauded story telling, as much as through its approach to environmental design and combat.  It is, rightly, one of this...
