Top five reasons Silent Hill: Book of Memories will suck
I heard about Silent Hill: Book of Memories and was instantly intrigued. As more details come out, though, it feels more like the game might be a complete betrayal of the franchise.
Gift Guide: Warhammer Fantasy, Time of Legends and Horus Heresy eBundles
If you know someone who is interested in fantasy tales or are interested in fantasy tales yourself, here’s something that might be of interest for you. Warhammer Fantasy, as you think the franchise name might imply, is the fantasy branch of Warhammer franchise. This post also covers the Time of Legends and Horus Heresy bundles.
As with the previous gift guide on Warhammer 40,000 eBundles, there might be some steep looking costs. If, however, you’re into these kinds of stories, these bundles are pretty fair considering how much you get in each.

Review: The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls series is one that definitely brings back a lot of memories. While the singular main quest story lines weren’t always great, there were a lot of great things about the series. The world was believable. The visuals were stunning. The gameplay was fun and very much in-depth. There was just a lot of great things about the game series that always felt like was leading to something truly epic. What it was leading up to is this.

Review: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
Space Marines in the Warhammer 40,000 universe are awesome. They’re stronger than normal humans, better armed and more armored than regular soldiers. They also border on immortal since they age far slower than normal humans and are far harder to kill. Yet, when you get down to the characters in the stories, they still feel very human even though they most assuredly aren’t completely human.
There’s a whole wealth of usually ultraviolent directions with actual stories that a game based solely on this general faction of the universe can be. That’s why I was really excited when I first heard that there was a shooter that would be allowing you to play as a Space Marine.
Gamestop’s PowerUp Reward program reaches 12.5 million members
Gamestop has reached quite a landmark for its PowerUp Rewards program. The program has risen to more than twelve and a half million members.
This is quite a feat for the short time that the program has been around. Sure, there was the Edge card that they had before that, but there felt like there was something missing with that. For example, it wasn’t being very competitive with the emergence of the reward programs for some of the bigger retail outlets out there.
Review: ClaDun x2 for PSP
ClaDun x2 has you starting in a weird parallel garden world named “Arcanus Cella” with no exit, at least not one that is known of. There is a doorway to somewhere else but it leads to a stream of dungeons that are filled with monsters and treasures. So you get to meet the people who inhabit Arcanus Cella while gathering treasure and creating teammates to recruit and add to your magic circle. You also try to find your way through the endless stream of dungeons. So yeah, just be forewarned. The story is pretty bland in comparison to other RPGs although the concepts it brings in are pretty cool. It just feels like the story is filler rather than components that make up the game.
Opinion: Free2Play will balance MMO world, not take over
The Free2Play market is growing. No one in their right mind would deny that. However, growth does not dictate a take over in the MMO market. While the question of whether or not the F2P market is going to take over MMOs is valid, the F2P market won’t take over. It’ll just balance out the market.
Sure, companies either jumped over to the F2P market entirely or tested it out. Some games have tested out the ideas of endless trials as well. Some companies like Aeria Games started off with and stuck with the F2P formula with games like Last Chaos. Let’s face it. While the F2P method is promising, there are a lot of issues with it. Oddly enough there’s the same amount of issues with the standard subscription-based MMO methods as well. Still, some games have one method working better for them than the other method does.
