Resident Evil 5 PS3, Xbox 360 Review

Silence of the Lambs Blu-ray Review

Killzone 2 PS3 Review

While entrenched in the first third of Killzone 2's campaign a simple yet profound conclusion smacked me in the face. No matter the circumstances or gallons of blood spilled, every violent skirmish in a long string of skirmishes felt like…  Read More
