With the utopian/distopian Orwellian wonders, the hot chick protagonist with facial tattoos and the great in-game footage that I’ve seen thus far, you better believe I’m going to fire up the old PC to give it a go.

Buy The Game Or Lee Redmond Will Skewer You

Okay so you’ll have to forgive a moment of gratuitous posting…I couldn’t NOT put this up.

No Online Co-op Shipping With Fable II

I love the offbeat, irreverent humour of Lion Head Studios’ Fable II. It’s a cheeky, somewhat abrasive look at a fantasy world that is right up my alley, so to speak. As you can then imagine, I was more than a little disappointed at the announcement that the game would not be shipping with the [...]

Obama Wins Xbox Live Presidential Poll

I mentioned a few weeks ago that Microsoft had teamed up with Rock the Vote in an effort to promote the importance of voting and encourage gamers to hit the voting booth in November. Well, it looks like gamers had no qualms about getting political.
According to The Escapist, 100,000 Xbox Live users were polled [...]
