• Castle Crashers Still Great On PS3
    Robert Errera

    When my XBOX 360 bricked two years ago I thought I'd never get the opportunity to play the full version of Castle Crashers. Once it was fixed, I wanted to finish Fallout 3 (the system had to be repaired 30 hours into the game) and with so many new and old games to play I never got around to the delightful flash game-like side-scroller slash-em-up, especially after my 360 died again last Winter out of warranty - almost exactly one year after it was fixed. 

    I refused to pay half the price of the system for the repair, and was not about to lay out my scarce extra money for a new system that may break again. Instead, I set my sights on the PS3 release date of Castle Crashers, which for a long time was shrouded in mystery.

    I was overjoyed when it finally came out this past Tuesday, though I quickly realized I could only...

  • The New Labyrinth Zone! (Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Trailer)

  • First Shot: Madden 11

                In a summer where Madden saw its first legitimate challenger in what feels like half a decade, it was my expectation that EA Sports would go all out when it came to this year’s football sim. 

                So far, Madden 11 has been incredibly hit or miss.  On the plus side, I really must give credit for the improved run game.  In Madden’s very recent past, running felt very much like a chore; rushes would generally go nowhere as blockers would routinely miss their assignments, generating tackles for loss as if it was their jobs.  Madden 11 doesn’t seem to have this issue, blockers get their man, and wide receivers make good blocking decisions downfield.  Beyond the running game, this helps out immensely on screen passes (something that felt downright broken in 09).  Not since Madden 07 have I enjoyed running...
