Unfortunately, the story of Alan Wake doesn’t shine, but if you enjoy spooky, straight forward and repetitive third person combat…Eh, just go play Splinter Cell.
No, not carbon monoxide, Sam Fisher! I could whine about how the story in Splinter Cell: Conviction is baffling or how Michael Ironsides voice acting sounds a little sloshed, but what really matters is the fact that Sam Fisher makes stepping out of the shadows to strangle soldiers fun again.
The new season of Sam & Max is available for download. If you like humor, go give Tell Tale games some money and you’ll get a snazzy point-and-click adventure to go along with your laughs.
Classics are classics for a reason.
God of War III is one of the most anticipated games of the year and if you like ultra-violent revenge fantasies, you are in for a treat. That’s not really my bag but I was still pretty impressed with all the aspects that didn’t involve overblown temper tantrums.

Heavy Rain is strange, intense, compelling, compulsive, dark and a video game you should be playing right now. Click the morose man standing in the rain to read more of my nuanced praise for the game.
The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom combines many of my favorite things: Edward Gorey style illustrations, silent movie tropes, top hats and pie. Go spend the Microsoft points on it. The Odd Gentlemen are right out of school and they deserve our support.
