F.E.A.R. 3 for XBox 360 – review
Blood, gore, Alma, mech suits: Ah, yes, it’s F.E.A.R. 3, the latest game in the F.E.A.R. franchise for the XBox 360! How does it stack up to its predecessors? Is it still scary, or old hat by now? And how’s about a handful of cheats thrown in for good measure? If you’re a fan of the [...]
L.A. Noire for the XBox 360 – review
Details, details, details…the crime thriller L.A. Noire for the XBox 360, set in post-World War II 1947 Los Angeles, is a game that glories in and is made glorious by the rich accuracy of details that its publisher Rock Star Games and developer Team Bondi bring to it. If you have no idea at all what [...]
EA’s Battlefield 3 Gameplay Footage
EA recently revealed Part One of some in-game footage for the upcoming Battlefield 3, and the first thing that you might notice when you check out the clip is that realism is at an all-time high. The second thing you’ll notice is that you probably need to turn your speakers down because the audio quality [...]

Vanquish – Hands-on Impressions: PAX Prime 2010
Vanquish has a huge pedigree associated with it despite it being one of the few brand new intellectual properties for gaming this fall. Platinum Games is developing it, makers of MadWorld and one of this year’s standout games, Bayonetta. Shinji Mikami is directing the game, who has such titles under his belt as the landmark [...]
PAX Prime 2010 – Dance Central: Hands-on Impressions
Dance Central debuted quizzically at E3 this year, but as time and more hands on (dance on?) impressions have come out, it’s become the showcase game for Microsoft’s new Kinect. It’s the only game in the entire lineup that I want to play, and being able to finally get some time with it was great. [...]
PAX Prime 2010 – Rock Band 3: Hands-on Impressions
Rock Band 3 seems to be the game to push the music game genre forward. With new instruments and even more songs to play, it seems to want to refine rather than redefine a genre. I was able to get some play time with Rock Band 3 at PAX to see if that held true. [...]
Xbox 360 “slim” – first impressions review
Impressions, or, BSCreview’s Gaming Editor Nabs An Xbox 360 It’s a sad state of affairs when a Gaming Editor doesn’t have all of the hardware and tools available to provide the best coverage of an ever-growing industry.

City Interactive’s Sniper: Ghost Warrior – Spotlight E3
I didn’t get a chance to play too many games at E3 this year, mostly because of all the appointments I made with different companies around the Los Angeles Convention Center. As bold a plan as this was, it didn’t bode well for me when it came to being the geek I am, the gamer [...]
E3 Press Conference Impressions: Ubisoft
Ubisoft’s press conference was by far the strangest one of the bunch. It was basically a handful of highlights in a sea of awkwardness and disinterest, which makes more sense since they are the publishers of the Imagine series of games. Child of Eden opening the show was by far the best moment of the [...]
E3 Press Conference Impressions: Microsoft
Microsoft was the first company to have their press conference at this year’s E3. Not only were they first to showcase their products and games, they decided to have two events within two days. However, neither of them inspired any confidence for the gamers who made Microsoft and the Xbox what it is today. Sunday [...]
