Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse: The Stole Max's Brain!: Review - Ribs' Take

2010-06-22T06:25:00.012-04:00

Sam and Max have had their Highs and Lows throughout the years. With instant classics, such as 'Chariots of The Dogs' in Season Two, or 'Abe Lincoln Must Die' during the initial season that Telltale developed. However, not one episode have been able to achieve complete perfection. However, things have changed. To reflect this, I'm going to do something I will most likely never do again; Give you

Alrighty, partners, here we go with another review for a sequel over six years in the making, called Red Dead Redemption.Now I know that all of you are asking, why are writing a review about a game that's just Grand Theft Auto in the Wild West?

Why, has it been a month already? Here we are, two fifths of our way into Sam and Max's third season at Telltale, and we're learning some answers regarding some of the new mysteries unveiled in the season's opener, The Penal Zone. When we last left our heroes, they discovered a terrible monument of what we assumed to be a grim future to come. That, however, is most definately not the case, as we

Due to an evil flash star who looks sort of like a professional wrestler, a diabolical english inventor

He is the newest writer to GGG, and he has done almost amazing things. He served in the Iraq war.

Counterstrike-Condition Zero Review

2010-01-04T18:23:00.002-05:00

GGG readers, I come to you today with a review of a game I failed to finish; Counterstrike Condition Zero. A fairly addicting game, for a while. It plays like a Flash game, and is not worth paying for. I would not call it a bad game. Far from it. I enjoyed playing it. I just could have played a game extremely similar online and for free. I had the desire to win, and the challenges were tough. I
