The Playstation 3 Exclusive MAG is a Mixed Bag says Michelle
It’s pretty amazing, Sony’s new multiplayer game MAG has been talked about for years, for some reason I feel like I saw a clip of this game as part of the PS3 “sizzle” reel 3 or 4 years ago. The game was supposed to be a showcase of how awesome the Sony PSN Network is […]

VIDEO GAMES: The Top 10 Most Anticipated Games of 2010
It’s hard for me to believe that video game sales took a turn toward the negative in 2009. The industry appeared to be recession proof.
