Don’t say “I beat that game” you tool. You have probably heard that phrase more than once during a conversation about video games. You might have even seen it when you were reading some comments on a video game site about a particular game. It probably went something like this. BearsFan54...

Since our break, there has been a slew of games to hit the Xbox 360 and Wii. Rather than write lengthy reviews, we'll hit them hard and fast in our first edition of the TG Review Roundup. 1) Tiger Woods 2009 ( ★★★★☆) I don't know if any of you played Tiger Woods 2008, but it was a flaming pile of steamy...

I don't know what asshole at Nintendo thought it would be a good idea to keep all of their products in short supply, but that dude needs to be fired. I understand the concept of perceptual demand, but this is ridiculous. I can forgive them if it is hard to find a Wii, or even a Wii Fit, because after...

Ok, we usually try to stay out of the fanboy pits of hell, but a lot of shit-talking has been circulating the various blogs recently, and they pretty much all say the same thing: Sony is worthless. First, Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg called Sony out , and I must say we have to applaud him on that one...

Back in the day, before the rise of the First Person Shooter genre, when console machines still had pixelated graphics and crappy sound, discerning gamers who demanded more had only one place to go: The PC. The PC was light years ahead of consoles when it came to complex games, graphics, and sound. Nowadays...

I've spent a considerable amount of time with Grand Theft Auto IV, and I think it is probably the best game I've played in a very long time. We aren't even bothering to write a single player review because there are dozens out there, and the Metacritic score speaks for itself. I can assure you that aside...

The first gears was an amazing game… the single player experience was great, with enough variety and story elements to satisfy almost anyone. Yeah, it was short, but it was very sweet, like a rich dessert. Epic also nailed how a co-op experience should be… jump right in to your buddy’s...
