So with Infinity Ward’s blockbuster first person shooter around the corner and me trying to score an early copy, I came across some leaked footage that has everyone’s panties in a bunch. Activision is on a rampage to purify the internet of this video, so you know it’s juicy. BE WARNED IT...
PSXextreme.com reported today, that Media Molecule, developer of Little Big Planet and pioneers of the “Create, Play, Share” philosophy/concept, are sticking by their guns saying there will be no Little Big Planet 2.
Basically, they don’t want to mess up the steam of their “Create,...
Assassin’s Creed 2: The verdict is in… is it?
Posted by Brian "dOobius One(.618)" on Nov 19, 2009 in Featured Articles, Gaming, PS3, Xbox 360 | 0 comments
So Assassin’s Creed 2 is out and I’m torn. I bought the first one because I consider myself an original gamer and when so many people say a game is a must play, I will buy it (hence Demon Souls, which I love immensely and hate even more). While I understood why people were very impressed by the...
PS3 Update 3.10 is live
Posted by Brian "dOobius One(.618)" on Nov 19, 2009 in Gaming, PS3, What You Should be Doing | 0 comments
Update 3.10 launched last night and now users can spam Facebook Feeds (much like I do with the SwollenThumbs fan page) with their trophy acquisitions, game progress and/or store purchases. Not that big of a deal in our book, but we’re happy that PS3 continues to progress. Considering that they do not...

For all you nonbelievers out there, who scoff at me and my kind, calling us immature and laughing at the fact that we’d rather stay home and play video games than hang out with you, the proof is in the pudding!
Although previously speculated, Activision/Blizzard today announced that Modern Warfare 2 is...
Make war… Not love! MW2: One Week Later
Posted by Brian "dOobius One(.618)" on Nov 16, 2009 in Featured Articles, Gaming, What You Should be Doing | 1 comment
So Modern Warfare has been out for almost a week now and it has slapped the gaming industry upside the head, screaming “Yes, I own this B****!”
A few select reviewers were not caught up with the hype (myself not being one of them) and gave MW2 a solid level-headed review. The review I refer to,...
Modern Warfare 2 Review
Posted by Brian "dOobius One(.618)" on Nov 11, 2009 in Featured Articles, Gaming, PS3, What You Should be Doing | 0 comments
(First and foremost lets talk about the rating. As you know the site is still being tweaked and unfortunately the current rating system only allows whole numbers up to 5 stars. My actual rating system would be based on 10 stars including fractions. Being that MW2 is not perfect, I rounded it down to 4...

Yes, Brokeback Mountain jokes are still funny…
2010 Prince of Persia:The Sands of Time Trailer
Video game movies usually are pathetic adaptations of the experience gamers have while playing the game. However, lately directors have been taking the time to really try and tap into the lure of video games...
Demon’s Souls: Two Weeks Later
Posted by Brian "dOobius One(.618)" on Nov 4, 2009 in Featured Articles, PS3, What You Should be Doing | 0 comments
Thank you sir, may I have another!
Two weeks later and I’m quite amazed that I have yet to shatter my controller into “a pretty little thousand pieces” while dancing on the game disc itself in my girlfriends high-heel boots, calling for the destruction of all who took part in creating it. ...
Do we need another Hero?
Posted by Brian "dOobius One(.618)" on Nov 3, 2009 in Featured Articles, Gaming, PS3, Xbox 360 | 0 comments
DJ Hero has arrived and initial reactions and reviews look promising.
I have not been able to try this bad boy out yet but it definitely has my attention. I have been waiting to see a review or hear input from someone with a DJ’ing background. If the game holds the same appeal as it’s big...
