Somewhat of a surprise

Bully turned out to be damn good, and a lot smarter than I think anybody expected.

What's this? A game review?

Yep. This week, it's God Hand.

By the way, for those of you who hang on this blog's every word, the next few weeks should have some pretty interesting games. It's looking like Bully, Guitar Hero 2, Final Fantasy XII, and Gears of War. That's an exciting slate.

A question about schwag

As an obscure critic for an alt-weekly, I don't rate too highly with publicists. Nevertheless, occasionally I get goodies along with a game. My favorite was the chocolate-covered Oreos Nintendo sent along with Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and I did ironically wear a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas hat from Rockstar. Rockstar is pretty good about sending schwag, actually. They included a t-shirt along with Bully. But how do they know they should send shirts to critics in size XL?

EA Sports will not be happy

But so help me, I really did not like Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07.

Happy Boss Day

This Monday, October 16, is National Boss Day. What better way to celebrate than with a list of the best video game bosses of all time?

Game of the year?

It just might be Okami.
