MvC3 and Killzone 3 in Review...and Abner reviews Innovation!
There Will Be Games

Somehow I lucked up this month and pulled two AAA-releases for review instead of the usual cut-rate Wii crap I'm usually left with- Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and Killzone 3. And Bill Abner tries his hand at reviewing a tabletop game over at Nohighscores.com.

Both are really good. KZ3's story is pretty terrible and it lacks identity, but the multiplayer is shit hot. The jetpacks are WAY better than the ones in Halo: Reach. MvC3...well, last night I beat Galactus to death with Amaterasu, the wolf from Okami. It's frequently amazing, even if they left out about 50 characters it should have. Hello? Nick Fury? Daredevil? Fucking GUILE? And who the hell let She-Hulk in? I hate her more than ever, particular when she says "howzabout a nice hug, howyadoin'" But then you can also be Taskmaster and stab her in the face, so it evens out.

Killzone 3

Also, Bill Abner has written a tabletop game review, proving that he's not a poser. He's reviewed Innovation, and favorably at that. I've got a couple of fresh pieces up there as well, including a review of Desktop Dungeons.

Senior Board Game Reviews Editor

Sometime in the early 1980s, MichaelBarnes’ parents thought it would be a good idea to buy him a board game to keep him busy with some friends during one of those high-pressure, “free” timeshare vacations. It turned out to be a terrible idea, because the game was TSR’s Dungeon! - and the rest, as they say, is history. Michael has been involved with writing professionally about games since 2002, when he busked for store credit writing for Boulder Games’ newsletter. He has written for a number of international hobby gaming periodicals and popular Web sites. From 2004-2008, he was the co-owner of Atlanta Game Factory, a brick-and-mortar retail store. He is currently the co-founder of FortressAT.com and Nohighscores.com as well as the Editor-in-Chief of Miniature Market’s Review Corner feature. He is married with two childen and when he’s not playing some kind of game he enjoys stockpiling trivial information about music, comics and film.
