Resistance 2 was released in November 2008 and is the direct sequel to one of my favorite and best selling PS3 games.  The game picks up right after Resistance: Fall of Man.  You continue as American Soldier Nathan Hale fighting the alien race known as Chimera. Immediately after your fight in Europe,  Hale is extracted by a Special Research Projects Administration VTOL and brought to Iceland.  After surviving a Chimera attack,  Hale is introduced to a group of Special Forces known as the Sentinals. Sentinals are soldiers who have been affected by the Chimera virus much like Hale and have super natural abilities. As you continue through the story,  Hale gets promoted to Lieutenant and the Chimera invades the United States.  You will battle the Chimera all over the country including California,  Idaho,  Utah and Illinois. You will experience a ... Read More »

This last weekend in Toronto Canada,  the 2012 Canadian Joe Convention was held.  Officer member Charade attended the Convention and has brought back Intel to the states.  Here is a quote from Charade on Hasbro: The biggest disappoint was the lack of Hasbro Canada. They were scheduled for a panel near the end of the day, but reportedly they cancelled that about a week ago. According to the CJC administrators, Hasbro Canada pulled out due to a corporate-wide policy of minimizing the dissemination of information to the public for the immediate future. Supposedly, this is because of delay of the Retaliation movie, which disrupted their original plans for Joe’s future. The CJC staff told us that, while Hasbro International re-evaluates the future strategies for G.I. Joe, contact between Hasbro and the public will be minimal. Hasbro did show up to the CJC ...

One of my favorite video game genres is Real Time Strategy and these games are primarily available for PC’s. With me being a console gamer most of the time,  I don’t get to enjoy the RTS games like I want to.  I was searching around for a decent RTS console game and came across R.U.S.E.  The game received some decent reviews and recommendations and I decided to snag a copy off eBay. R.U.S.E. is set during WWII and features a wide variety of game modes.  Before I discuss the modes and story in detail,  I want to cover my favorite part about the game,  the zoom in/out battlefield.  Zoom all the way out and you see a table top map with blue and red markings for troops.  Zoom all the way in and you see actual soldiers, tanks, artillery,  buildings, ...

Back in 1997 Duke Nukem was on top of the Gaming World.  Duke Nukem 3D was one of the most popular games of all time and it’s sequel was in development.  What turned out to be one of the most bizarre developments of all time across every media platform,  Duke Nukem Forever didn’t get released until June 2011.
