Have you checked your calendar? If not, let me remind you that tomorrow is
April 29th, the day Grand Theft Auto IV will be released. Not since the
launch of Halo 3 has there been so much anticipation over a single game. Many
retailers are opening at midnight tonight to release the game early to eager
gamers everywhere. Game sales are expecting to set a new records, even
surpassing the mark set by Halo 3. So why do I not care? |

I recently read an article about in which Denis Dyack (of Too Human fame)
indicated that people did not want to play long games anymore. He indicated
that gamers preferred shorter games, that could be enjoyed in smaller chunks.
This statement rings true as the amount of games that can be completed in less
than 10 hours continue to grow each year. Are we as gamers getting
shortchanged in this new trend? Do games such as Halo 3, BioShock or Call of
Duty 4 offer good value for your money? |

Condemned 2: Bloodshot
I try to not have very high hopes for any game but I did have very high hopes for Condemned: Bloodshot . The main reason was because Condemned: Criminal Origins (CO) had taken me completely by surprise. The game was bold, creepy and provided an "in your face" combat system that was both gritty and involving in a way that a shooter cannot. In my opinion, CO was the best launch title available for the still baby fresh Xbox 360 console. Twenty-eight months later and Bloodshot no longer has the advantage of being fresh and new so the developers decided that Bloodshot would be bolder, creepier and more in your face. This is usually a good recipe, but more is not always better. |

I am back from my vacation, well rested and ready to start posting once again.
For those that enjoy daily updates, sorry for the short drought, but I had
been away for the past week enjoying some fine scenery (very fine scenery in
some cases) on the beaches of the Dominican Republic. Nothing like lounging
around on the beach all day to allow you time to clear your mind. Kind of like
a reboot of your brain. Well my brain has been rebooted, time to get back to
some quality games. The time has come to finally start playing Mass Effect. |

Rogers's Video Weekly Top 10 Game rentals.
Just like the kids clutching their waggle sticks while encouraging Mario
to beat the snot out of Peach, Super Smash Bros. Brawl continues to clutch the
top of the rental chart. We also say goodbye to our fallen Canadian dinosaur
hunting friend as Turok has dropped from the list, but fear not as another mate
takes it's place. darkSector debuts an impressive 4th spot keeping the number of
Canadian developed games at 6. |
