Classic gaming: Shenmue, a love hate relationship
I would like to extend my thanks to Yu Suzuki for making this awesome game. I would also like to extend a massive FUCK YOU to Yu Suzuki for making this game. Here’s why.
Classic gaming: Skies of Arcadia
Where YJ revisits an old favourite In 1999, Sega released the Dreamcast. The system had a good variety of games, most of which were arcade ports, but fans of the system were hoping for an RPG that could be the system’s own Final Fantasy. In the...
EB Games – making them work for you
EB Games has gathered much scorn over the past few years as being the gaming retail outlet that charges RRP for everything. Why buy at EB when you can go to JB to get it much cheaper? Despite this, I actually do most of my games shopping at EB nowadays....

Resident Evil 5 (Gears of War 0.5)
