I’m a huge fan of the Mass Effect franchise. In fact, it was the first game I ever purchased for my Xbox 360 and I fell in love with its vibrant universe instantly. Bioware is one of very few developers that have an extreme attention to detail. They also place a heavy emphasis on creating an engaging story with gripping dialogue. Of course this is to be expected though, they are the creators of Baldur’s Gate and Knights of The Old Republic after all. With Mass Effect 3, Bioware has improved almost every aspect of the Mass Effect franchise and is looking to make the grand finale of the trilogy… (more…)

In this week’s installment, Zach & Trent go to the mall, searching for a new phone, when suddenly he achieves immense power.

In this week’s installment, Zach sees some athletes on television with slightly altered results. Once you see it, you’ll believe it. Maybe Sega should bring Altered Beast back?

Everyone is waiting for this year’s big retail titles like Mass Effect 3, Bioshock Infinite and whatever the Wii U will end up becoming (I’m hoping it doesn’t turn into another Sega Saturn). But while there are many ‘AAA’ retail games coming out, it’s worth reminding you that the smaller, downloadable and indie game space is growing huge. So, I’m presenting you with a list of games you should be paying more attention to than whatever shooter is crawling out of the latest big name developer. Some are indie favorites, others are downloadable and a couple are retail games, but you should take notice of all of them over the… (more…)

(SPOILERS: for those who haven’t played the Uncharted series.) You might not know it, but there is more than one Drake dominating popular media today.  Drake Aubrey Graham is a huge Canadian actor-turned-rapper, and Nathan Drake is a sarcastic yet lovable treasure hunter and action hero. In what possible way are these two at all connected? Well, they’re not, but they share many common interests and (we think) they would get along fabulously. Assuming the Jimmy from Degrassi doesn’t mind the handguns that Nathan from Uncharted brandishes on a daily basis. And so, to compare the two great Drakes we present the following and ask you, dear reader, which Drake is… (more…)

As much as I hate prefacing my article by saying this, it begs mentioning. Remember when we just put a cartridge in a console’s slot and a game simply just played? This thought is almost cliché since we’re living in a digital age; some modern games don’t even come on discs anymore. But now we seem to be entering a new era, unless you buy a game brand new, you’re not getting the full experience anymore. Recent hits like Arkham City have an online pass that’s necessary if you want to play as Catwoman. So when I bought the game, in order to play as the character Rocksteady heavily promoted at… (more…)
