If your inner-child doesn’t start jumping up and down at this trailer for LittleBigPlanet 2, I feel pity for you and your miserable existence. Last week, news of the latest issue of Game Informer featuring an article on LittleBigPlanet 2 started to surface before the game had been confirmed by Sony. Today, everything is official… Continue reading

Medal of Honor “Leave a Message” Trailer Resonates
Normally, I would skip right on over a Medal of Honor trailer. Military shooters are a dime a dozen, and I’m content with my franchise of choice at the moment. Until recently, it seemed as though we were headed for a yearly Battlefield vs Call of Duty war. All hell has broken loose with the… Continue reading
The Games of May Attack
So, May happened, and it happened quick. My wallet is not ready for this month. Take a look at all the releases coming out this month, it’s the first big month since the rush of titles that hit us after the new year. The Cursed are here to help you sort through the May madness,… Continue reading
Dead Space 2 Reveal Trailer
Isaac Clarke may have survived his harrowing first encounter with the Necromorphs, but it doesn’t look like his sanity was as fortunate. In the reveal trailer “Dementia” for Dead Space 2 with the help of Rorschach testing we dive into the mind of Isaac as he relives the nightmare of the incidents from 2008’s horrifying… Continue reading
20 Hours In: Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy releases have always been something to look forward to. Years between iterations really build the hype and excitement for each game. I have played every numerical Final Fantasy game except for XI, which doesn’t count because it’s an MMORPG. I love the Final Fantasy series but have always had a hard time finishing… Continue reading
Halo: Reach Anticipation
Ever since the good old LAN party days of Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, I’ve been a lover of all things multiplayer. These days if a game doesn’t have a replayable multiplayer experience then I simply don’t have much respect for the game. That said, I do concede that there is still a place… Continue reading
Split/Second Sunday Driving Demo
Just finished my first race on the newly released demo for Split/Second. I don’t like the taste. On paper, this game is so very promising for the action fan. Basically, you are racing through action movie set pieces that are setup for ridiculous stunts (explosions, bridge destructions, buildings falling onto the track) straight out of… Continue reading
InRapture(d) Again
Well, the sequel to the game that won game of the year in 2008 has come out. BioShock 2 brings you back to the underwater city of Rapture, where you get to fill some big, not to mention heavy, shoes. The campaign starts off revealing your role as a big daddy prototype. It’s been ten… Continue reading
Blur Beta is Powered-Up
As of this writing I’ve put in probably a couple hours of racing into Bizarre’s upcoming racing game. I’ll just start here by saying that in that time I think the game is awesome! It’s a fast paced (thankfully, being a racing game), exhilarating and intense, and incredibly fun title. The game demo comprises of… Continue reading
Sparkster
Since this post will serve as my debut into the video game writing/review/criticism world I decided to start with a fantastic game that really sums me up in a single word. To introduce myself, these days on the web I am generally referred to as Pixelmixer. My real name happens to be Dustin Sparks. During… Continue reading
No Hope for Kratos
Let’s get this out of the way. God of War 2 was the crowning achievement of my PS2 gaming days. I am a huge Kratos fan. I’m big enough fan of the niche of the action genre that GoW created, that I shelled out cash for the recent soulless knock-off, Dante’s Inferno. I held off… Continue reading
WTF is a Rondo?
Just to confirm, yes, it is that Castlevania game. The most critically acclaimed and impossible to obtain game (for U.S. gamers) in the series finally arrives via the Nintendo’s Virtual Console. I couldn’t believe I was actually about to (legally) play Castlevania: Rondo of Blood / Akumajo Dracula X: Chi no Rondo / Dracula X… Continue reading
