I really liked INCURSION, and I'm glad to see a start-up publisher come out with such a strong product. In my emails with Jim Bailey, the designer of the game and kommandant of Grindhouse Games, I got ... |

 | Here it is, my long-delayed review of _all_ of Small Box Games' "Pure Card" line. These games are all designed and published by John Clowdus, a guy that come to find out lives just about 30 minutes a... |

METRO 2033, released earlier this year, was met with fairly lukewarm reviews and it appeared that for all the world it was another also-ran in a season practically littered with outstanding, high quali... |

 | So here it is, the world premiere review of BATTLES OF WESTEROS at Gameshark.com.
This was a difficult review to write because I do think that the game is good. The problem is, I think FFG has completel... |

 | Whodathunk that one of the best XBLA games of the year would be a Snoopy game? But there it is then, imagine Crimson Skies crossed with Mario Kart with all your Charles Schultz favorites battling for aer... |

 | You might have read a couple of reviews of Rockstar’s smash hit RED DEAD REDEMPTION that have compared the Old West-set sandbox game to classic western cinema and without a doubt the game is haunted by... |

 | Pictured is the best zombie you will ever see in a movie, or in any other media for that matter. Note that it is not cute, funny, and it is not wearing a chef hat or other article to signify to the viewe... |

 | As many of you folks may remember, back when BATTLES OF WESTEROS was announced a lot of folks, myself included, weren’t exactly impressed with the “mystery box” and I even dubbed it an epic fail. I... |

 | Wouldya look at that, another video game review to add to the Collected Works of Michael Barnes. This time, it's for the Wii version of the IRON MAN 2 video game. It is not a good review. One of my fello... |

 | I doubt it will have the earth shattering impact of "Top Ten Games Every Gamer Should Own", but I'm hoping that this week's Cracked LCD Countdown manages to at least take out a few major metropolitan are... |

 | Nah, you guys probably wouldn't like Grindhouse Games' INCURSION. I mean, sure, it's got Nazi werwolves and all in it...but it doesn't come spilling over with plastic miniatures and fancy terrain pieces.... |

At the heart of Remedy’s long-delayed ALAN WAKE, a survival horror game styled and presented as a television series, is a deeply compelling yet subtle opposition between light and darkness. It is ... |

 | It's tough to pay attention to board games this week when RED DEAD REDEMPTION is out, an easy contender for Game of the Year and a title that is very, very close to letting me completely fall helplessl... |

I was big into skateboarding in the mid to late 1980s. My parents got me a deck sometime in 1986 or 1987, and unlike most kids that started out with one of those terrible Variflex boards with the day... |

 | As Matt Drake's article from a couple of weeks ago already told y'all, CYCLADES is pretty good. More than that, I'd go so far as to call it the best game I've played this year to date. It's an easy to pl... |

 | That's right, it's time once again for the monthly Cracked LCD Countdown. And this one is really going to piss off you people who are totally OK with spending $100 on a board game. Because it's about bei... |
