Sorry For The Sporadic Posts.

Hey folks, I just wanted to apologize for the sporadic posts this past month, but me and missus have been in the process of moving to a new place, and it’s been a rather time consuming endeavor. Once we get settled into the new home, I’ll be able to start posting more frequently.

Be on the lookout for reviews of Assassin’s Creed 2, Borderlands, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Darksiders, White Knight Chronicles, as well as my usual rage induced editorials on the gaming media and their never-ending stupidity this generation! See you guys soon!

Select/Start Games Best of 2009 Awards

2009 now draws to a close, and for gamers, it has been one of the best years of this generation, if not the best year this generation in terms of quality software. It seemed like no matter what the genre or platform, you could find a game that simply screamed quality, even amidst the many game delays that plagued the year. These awards are by no means comprehensive, or to be taken as law, but they are certainly the games we felt really summed up 2009. Enjoy.
