The Next Generation of Consoles: A Different Take

Last week, Shank wrote a great article about the “Do’s and Don’t’s” for next generation consoles, and many of you agreed with him. I’m going to speak for the other side today and disagree with a few of his points. Shank and I come at this topic from different angles completely, so it’s understandable that [...]

Black Ops II: Bring On the Whipper Snappers

The skies were quiet. The waters were calm. For a moment, it seemed as if all was right with the world. Then I got ripped apart by a spray of bullets. Such is life on board the cruise ship where all the action takes place during Call of Duty: Black Ops II’s ”Hijacked” multiplayer map. Aside [...]
