Review: Motorstorm Pacific Rift!

The original Motorstorm was the first game I experienced on the PS3, and I played it to death. The graphics were fantastic, and the gameplay, despite being difficult to master at times, appealed to my inner madman.
Not many other racing games (with the notable exception of Burnout Paradise) have made me feel exhilarated and charged [...]

Fantastic Contraption

If you’re old enough to remember DOS games, then you’ll probably have played The Incredible Machine.
Well, this is very similar, only it’s a simplified online version called Fantastic Contraption. The idea is to get the little red thing into the other little red thing. This isn’t nearly as simple as it sounds.

Radio Broker

I have been bad. I can hardly believe it, but I left the Radio Broker in-game radio station station (hosted by Juliette Lewis) off my original Grand Theft Auto IV review.

Horribly addictive online game
