Toby Clark — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 22:12:42 +0000

This is the Mass Effect 2 DLC you have been waiting for. Download it now. Lair of the Shadow Broker starts with a communication from the Illusive Man informing you that he has obtained information on the location of the Shadow Broker. As a result,...

Sports Champions Review

Toby Clark — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 04:24:43 +0000

Sports Champions is positioned as the showpiece for Sony’s new motion controller for the PS3, Move. And a successful showpiece it is, albeit not perfect. Sports Champions is sold either individually for $39.99 or in a bundle with a Move controller and the Playstation Eye...

Mass Effect 2: Overlord Review

Toby Clark — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 06:53:58 +0000

Although not that bad, the Overlord DLC add-on for Mass Effect 2 certainly leaves something to be desired in terms of length, gameplay, and story. It’s, well, just not that good. The game starts with a message indicating that Cerberus has not heard from one...

Are you ready to rock?!?!? Not really.

I have been struggling with whether to preorder the Rock Band 3 keytar bundle. Although I’ve been a huge Rock Band devoutee, I just cannot get worked up about Rock Band 3. For some perspective, I was a Guitar Hero fan from the beginning, a time...

Eyepet Review

Toby Clark — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 17:11:27 +0000

Try as I might, I could not resist the adorableness of my Eyepet. I gladly ploughed through the maximum number of challenges I could do each day and kind of looked forward to being able to continue the next day. Eyepet uses the Playstation Eye video...

Start the Party Review

Toby Clark — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 03:54:16 +0000

You can Start the Party. Just wake me when it’s over. While the individual elements making up this party — the mini games — are not that bad, the whole package is. Start the Party consists primarily of nine pretty decent mini games controlled with...

Metroid: Other M Review

Toby Clark — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 02:53:14 +0000

After three first-person games set after the original Metroid game (but leading up to the events of Super Metroid), developer Team Ninja takes Metroid back to its 2D roots (to a certain extent) while at the same time elevating storytelling to a new level for...

Don’t call it a comeback

Toby Clark — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 02:10:23 +0000

No more excuses. After a nearly two-month journey, I completed my bike ride across the country. I then immediately flew to San Francisco to find an apartment, flew back to New York to get my things out of storage, and then drove back across the...

Distractions (well, a few)

Toby Clark — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 02:50:31 +0000

I’ve kept this site very centered on games and not on me. This post changes that dynamic entirely, because it’s all about me. If you followed the site February through March when I was posting a number of articles and reviews, you may have wondered...
