Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Staying alive
Set about a decade after the original game, “Resident Evil 5” stars two huge arms that are attached to a body that looks something like Chris Redfield. The game takes place in Africa, where Chris, along with vaguely English-South-African sidekick Sheva Alomar, set out to stop a bio terrorist named Ricardo Irving who has released a viral strand on the locals, turning them into voracious zombie-like monstrosities that try to club you to death on sight. During the course of the game segments of Chris’ history between the first title and this one are explained including details about his original partner, Jill Valentine, and old antagonist, Albert Wesker.The mines of "more"-ia
Then the folks at Turbine, who developed and continue to develop LotRO, gave us a free week of play for players who had old accounts. And it was magic. I got a couple of my friends to play and they got hooked. Then I decided to get re-hooked because I got them hooked.

Dear Splitscreen Co-op
Nobody brings my friends together like you do baby; you are a blue shell when I’m in second place, a turkey leg when my wizard needs food badly, the plasma grenade to my grunt, stick with me and we’ll illuminate the world with the explosion of our love.

Love Letter: Baldur's Gate
All in all, this is and always will be my favorite game of all time. I refuse to let another game come between me and my Baldur’s Gate.
The Dreamcast's Eulogy
I’d like to start this off by saying that I have had a long and storied love affair with the Sega Dreamcast. The story, to put it shortly,...

For instance, he likes the song “One Way or Another” by Blondie and “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor. He will actually sing along with the lyrics when he hears them on the radio, or on television shows.

Gears Of War 2 Review
Gears of war 2 does what any good sophomoric effort of an excellent series should, it takes the base upon which it is built and makes it grander. You won’t find any groundbreaking changes in the second installment of the testosterone driven thick-necked sequel, instead Epic has spent their time polishing their tried and true formula, pulling back the scope of the experience and showing us war on an epic scale not seen in enough games.

I love feeling the Wrath of the Lich King
Instances are shorter and have less “trash mobs” to grind through to get to the bosses so far. The instances seem to have easier to complete quests, better rewards, more voice acting and more story than in BC or classic WoW

Fallout 3: Welcome to the Wasteland
To say Fallout 3 is like the other Fallout games would be a lie. However, I never expected it to be. All of the same elements from previous games are there, but they’ve been put together in a completely different way. It definitely gives enough nods to the old series, while putting a new twist on the franchise.

Warhammer Online: The Age of Reckoning fails miserably
The first thing I noticed (aside from the fact that they have a hard time conjugating verbs) was the severe lack of world-building and lore. In a game world so rich and heavily steeped in lore, all they managed to capture were a few snippets of something that’s as deep and storied as Dungeon and Dragons, if not moreso. After about sixty hours with the game you realize that you’re just playing World of Warcraft (WoW) with some different graphics and a slew of distracting typos.
