Review: Dante’s Inferno (PS3, Xbox 360)

February 24th, 2010 by Josh Schwartzman

When Dante Alighieri wrote his famous Divine Comedy back in the 14th Century I bet he never imagined how shameless his poem would turn out in the present time.  Dante’s Inferno is hard to describe on its own merits mainly because it blatantly rips off one of the best action games of the past few [...]

I’m Back! Diary #1: Well, I Guess Not…

February 22nd, 2010 by Anthony Perez

Back in the beginning of this month I said I would be returning to the site on a more regular basis.
