I thought that although you most likely were as fake as them that maybe you would surprise me and be real enough that I would  never want to take my eyes off you.

Fat Princess mini-review (psn)

Bloody, artsy and cartoony fun in a war-like strategy game that includes feeding cake to your princess to make it harder for your opponents to carry her away. It may sound crazy and indeed it is…. crazy fun that is.

Test Drive: Uncharted 2 Beta (ps3)

Man oh man. I cannot stress enough how great this game is. As one of the lucky few who got in on the 1st phase of closed beta testing I can confirm almost that we got another classic on our hands. The visuals are stunning and multiplayer has enough depth to add on replayability to this game as the 1st one lacked that aspect. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to play the single player mode the area where the Uncharted series truly shines with great story, voice work and …
