4  Top Five Most Intense Moments of 2010... So Far Tue, Jul 27th, 2010, 11:17 pm (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS 2010 has been a fantastic year for gamers. It's not often we are able to compile a solid list of 'Game of the Year' contenders only half way through the calender year. Mass Effect 2, Heavy Rain, God of War III, Final Fantasy XIII, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Alan Wake, Red Dead Redemption, and more are all high quality experiences that would normally be reserved for the holiday season. With that in mind, we decided to examine some of the most intense moments so far this year. Intense could be anything from terrifying to awe inspiring, anything that really got our blood pumping. It should go without saying that if you haven't played these games yet and want to avoid spoilers, stop reading after each headline. The following is the top five most intense moments of 2010... so far. More »

0  Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review Fri, Jun 4th, 2010, 7:15 pm (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS Mario is one of the oldest and most storied franchises in gaming history. The iconic Italian plumber has been able to stay relevant over the decades by consistently reinventing himself - from 8-bit 2D to Earthly 3D, to the outer reaches of space. 2007's Super Mario Galaxy was the latest to reinvent the franchise, with its mind-bending gravity mechanics, unique planetoids, and otherworldly wonderment. Apparently Miyamoto's team had so many ideas as a result of the new direction Galaxy took, that they decided to make a direct sequel - something Mario hasn't seen for quite some time. The end product is Super Mario Galaxy 2, a game that takes the foundations laid out in Galaxy and experiments with them in every way imaginable. More »

0  Super Mario Galaxy 2 Shooting Past Original Thu, Apr 22nd, 2010, 12:25 pm (EST) BY SHAWN When Nintendo first announced the sequel to the hugely successful Super Mario Galaxy, cleverly-titled Super Mario Galaxy 2, at E3 2009, many gamers were surprised as up until now, each new console Mario title had been on the system that followed the previous title. With news that the game would play very similarly to the original, most wondered if this was a sign that the company's successful console was beginning to fall on hard times and needed to be propped up by its biggest titles. From what has currently been revealed about the game, this couldn't be farther from the truth. The original Super Mario Galaxy was set in outer space, where Mario traveled from galaxy to galaxy in order to collect Power Stars, which could be obtained by solving puzzles or defeating enemies, and sometimes even huge bosses. The highlight of the game came in the new physics system, which revolved around a unique feature of giving every celestial object its own gravitational force, allowing the player to completely circumnavigate the planets, walking either sideways like normal or even upside down. This also applied to jumping from planet to planet, which was one of the prime factors used in a number of the game's most tricky and difficult puzzles. More »
