I have a confession: I’ve never played a Metal Gear Solid game. I dabbled with Twin Snakes, watched my college roommate play parts of MGS4, and got about halfway through MGS Touch on my iPad, but that is about the extent of my experience with Hideo Kojima’s magnum opus. So keep in mind while reading …

Power Hour: Gotham City Impostors
Being a fan of any product, as most on the internet would point out, sometimes colors your perspective on a project. A lot has been written and said about those who wear blind goggles or gloss over the flaws in whatever it is they love. What many don’t talk about is the other side of …

Power Hour: Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii)
The Wii has been a barren wasteland of releases this year. With a few minor exceptions (Mario Sports Mix, Wii Play Motion, The Conduit 2), there has been very little in the way of new releases. Even fewer, in more meaty experiences. Nintendo of America seems content on keeping that going until The Legend of …

Power Hour: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
I will start off this article by saying I am cheating, and I realize I am cheating, but let’s explain why it works. First off, it is cheating because I’ve already played through a great big chunk of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door when it was originally released way back in 2004. That said, …

Power Hour: L.A. Noire
I’m not very good at sticking to this one hour preview concept; one hour in, a lengthy game like L.A. Noire is still just getting warmed up. After 2 or 3 hours, which is about where I’m at, Rockstar’s collaboration with Team Bondi is settling in nicely and proving once again that Rockstar is one …

Power Hour: Blur (Xbox 360)
Not that it helps much, but I was a firm supporter of Bizarre Creations, owning their last two home releases in Blood Stone and Blur. Sadly, and this may have been an issue for them, I’ve owned Blur for about 6 months and never got around to opening it until this past week. What can …

Power Hour: Monster Tale
Monster Tale serves as an interesting swan song to the Nintendo DS, while it probably won’t be remember as one of the last titles, it is a quirky mixture of old school design, and the capabilities of the DS, that truly embodies some of the best of the best on the little handheld. Monster Tale …

Power Hour: Dragon Age II
With Dragon Age II, acclaimed developer BioWare has retooled many aspects of its hit Dragon Age: Origins to fall more in line with modern expectations, especially for the horde of fans who eat up their beloved Mass Effect series. While delusional Baldur’s Gate fanatics may claim “blasphemy!” on some of the tweaks, for the rest of …

Power Hour: Batman: The Brave and the Bold Wii
For those of you with memories longer than that of a gold fish, you may remember way back when in Sept when we did a review of the DS version of this game. Its taken some time and effort (there were a lot of games this fall!), but finally got my hands on the Wii …
