The Void: Dead Rising 2, FIFA '10 and Soldner-X2

Amazing what a Google image search will get you. I promise to never use this again.

I’ve gotten a couple tweets about doing more game reviews and its appreciated. I’m doing the best I can over here, but thanks to the small success of the site, work has actually picked up. This is only partly the reason why you don’t see as many video game reviews. A contributing factor would be that a lot of games have been sucked into what I’d like to call, The Void.

The Void is the nebulous area in a small portion of my brain that never quite gets into whatever media I’m imbibing. This could mean me playing a game for 10 minutes or 10 hours and still not making any significant progress to determine a feeling.  This also applies to a plethora of media that I often quit midway through [sorry Boardwalk Empire, I’ll wait for the DVD box set].

Enslaved Review -- Journey To Being Under Appreciated

A tale of a man, a woman and pig -- where no one gets romantically involved. Enslaved is a game that is focussed on how us humans do what we need to do for the greater good. With all this positivity and philsophical undertones, I wonder why this didn't catch on with the first-person shooter crowd.
