Nintendo and Konami, plus interviews with Metal Gear Solid 4 assistant producer Ryan Payton and Greg Vederman of HP.
Last weekend I made my way to the 2007 E For All convention in Los Angeles, CA. This is the more public kind of little brother to E3, an entire convention dedicated to gaming. Usually this is the time of year that you get all the big announcements for the next couple year's worth of gaming. Now I had gone to E3 for quite a few years, so in...

PS3 Review: Heavenly Sword

Heavenly Sword is a story-driven game that really shows off the PS3�s power.
Heavenly Sword is an achievement in game-based cinematic storytelling. The game employs state of the art motion capturing to give its characters a flair for realism rarely captured with a console.

As you went along to the goal you would run into obstacles where you would have to either join all of your blobs together into one big one...

Warhawk is a great way to blow off some steam when you get home and just want to frag something.
This game is worth buying for any PS3 owner. That was for those of you who just want the jist of the review. Below you will find the detailed review.It was over a year ago when I was at E3 '06, right before the PS3 and the Wii were released. My wife, Alyse Wax, and I were watching hundreds of people stand in line to try Nintendo's big blockbuster...
