Fusion: Genesis – XBLA Review
By proxy, making games in space is really boring. Even the most hardcore of PC gaming houses gave up on it fifteen years ago because the options are really quite limited despite the literal universe of possibilities. As time has marched on and hardware has allowed for greater, better looking universes, few have sought to actually render them. Again, boring. So it was a breath of fresh air when a few ex-Rare guys (Donkey Kong Country, Banjo Kazooie) tasked themselves with a rags-to-riches space adventure. Unfortunately, Starfire Studios bit off a bit more than they could chew and for all its ambitions, Fusion: Genesis just can’t reproduce the simple joy of being a ship in a massive, opportunistic galaxy.

“Stranded” Gears of War Fan Flick – Short Film Review
Rob and N recently caught the Gears of War fan film “Stranded”, produced on a shoestring $1600 budget provided by a Kickstarter campaign. For a film based on a franchise that doesn’t take itself seriously very often, it’s an admirable effort. Both writers submit their reviews after the break!

New PlayStation Home Update Reveals It’s Just As Irritatingly Pointless As Ever [Now With Epic Video!]

Before the hate starts rolling in, know that I was for PlayStation Home before I was against it. I was intrigued by the prospect of a virtual world in which you could interact with people, have customizable user spaces, and do “stuff” with your friends. And then I actually used it. Today Sony brought us a new update which added new ‘genre’ zones, new functionality and frankly, other junk. Will this melt the hearts of those with the coldest, most unfavorable opinions of the service? Not even slightly.
Grand Theft Auto V Revealed. I Want It! …Maybe?
If you visited a gaming site today, you’d know that Rockstar released the first trailer for its new blockbuster Grand Theft Auto game. What do you mean you didn’t? Well, we included it after the break just in case. So now I’m both excited and depressed by it for reasons not terribly dissimilar to my article about Grand Theft Auto 3. Some are screaming cries of joy for this game and mine could not be more mixed. There’s plenty to like in what we’ve seen and there’s plenty to be cautious about considering aspects of the last iteration of the series. I’ll break it all down after the break as well!
