    It seems like the new thing for adventure games is to release them in tiny, episode-sized chunks that can be beaten in under five hours. They are, of course, cheaper than normal games, with this parti

  • Soulcalibur IV (PS3)

    Reviews Reviews by Matt Gardner on Comments3

    So, now that I've "taken care of" Zach Rich, I'll just go ahead and jump right into MY review of Soulcalibur IV. That's Soulcalibur, not Soul Calibur. For some reason, even though the Soul Calibur gam

You know celebrity podcasts? Those things in the iTunes music store that tell you what Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson likes listening to (Eric Clapton and Elvis, incidentally). If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’ll explain in a minute. First I need (want, actually; this doesn’t add anything to my article) to give some back-story.

    PoCoN: Guess what? I’m not leaving! I’m the best narrator this story has, and the best writer of TGoL clearly agrees with me and is going to keep putting me in the story no matter how many times that other writer tries to puff me back to backstage.
