Approximately two hours ago I took the trip to my local EB Games to pick up the hotly anticipated (by me and my Civ-playing friends, at least) Civilization: Revolution on the 360.
Holy crap. That was the worst decision of my Civ career.
I decided a long time ago that I was going to give Revolution (hereby [...]

Blizzard Software has struck again. The debut of the new Diablo 3 Trailer sent chills down my spine when it was first unveiled, and surely enthralled thousands (millions?) of Diablo fans all across the world.

After years of patient waiting and yearning, my dreams have finally come true. Avenged Sevenfold has released content for a rhythm game. Sure, Beast and the Harlot was in Guitar Hero 2… but that was a crappy cover. These are Master Tracks.
The two songs that were released were “Critical Acclaim” and “Afterlife”. While these [...]

I’ve been playing through Final Fantasy XI for the last couple of weeks because I found out that my friends were starting new characters.
For those of you who don’t know, Final Fantasy XI is a MMORPG… otherwise known as a massive, living, breathing world… in which players fight alongside each other to complete quests, kill [...]
