Hellgate Blowout
Oct 31st
It's finally here! One of the most anticipated titles for the PC, Hellgate: London (HGL), was released today at Funan IT Mall and the turnout was quite impressive. IAH Games put on an entertaining event with appearances from Max Schaefer and Erich Schaefer (of Flagship Studios), models dressed up as HGL characters and a cool press conference and fan-session at IAH's cyber cafe in the ...

Another Resident Evil movie
Oct 31st
The Paul WS Anderson Resident Evil movies weren't the most well-loved movies in the world (though I liked the first one because of Michelle Rodriguez) so Capcom and Sony Pictures are going to team up to bring a totally new RE movie to the screens, without Milla Jovovich (or any actor for that matter).

And how is it, might you ask. Quoting Guimin, it's "Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!" We'll have the full review in the upcoming December issue of Playworks. For the time being, we're ... Read more
Ending songs that rocked our world
Oct 30th
I realize that this is the umpteenth time I'm posting about Portal, but really, that game rocks the big one and it deserves all the attention I'm lavishing upon it. Anyway, one of the big reasons why Portal made such a big impact on me was because of the wonderful ending song that was the most poignant little tune that reflected the quirky humour that ...
