All Infidels Assassinated
I have to give Ubisoft credit for trying something different. The story was intelligent, morally ambiguous and actually provoked some interesting questions. Their heart was definitely in the right place. And I did enjoy playing the game, but only because I paid less than half price for it and could [...]
Please Don't Suck
< ![CDATA[
The above surprisingly busty nurse is taken from a screenshot of the new game Silent Hill: Homecoming, which is the 5th console title in the series and the first to debut on the shiny new hardware available today. It’s technically available today, though that really means “It’s been shipped to stores so most likely [...]
In Our Hands
Because of the wonky fact that a lot of comics are printed in Canada, we actually got our copies of Liquid City before even the stores or the editor of the comic (our friend Sonny Liew) did. It’s weird holding a comic book in my hand and flipping through the pages to see my own [...]

Bears On Parade
The Wife agreed to contribute to a “tour of bears” that’s going on in Toronto. Seems a company has created Do It Yourself designer bears known as Bax Bears that are essentially blank slate plastic bears that are meant to be drawn and/or painted on. To kick it off, the Vancouver-based [...]
It’s Up
My first article for the website High Def Digest has gone up. It’s here. And now, back to killing infidels that dare to defile the Holy Land with their outrageous Christian God.
Killing Infidels
It was all about the assassinations today. And flag collecting. And random rampages through the streets of Jerusalem and Damascus. My nick name for this game is “Grand Theft Islam.”
Cheap Kills
Thanks to the miracle of eBay and titles that didn’t meet with the critical reception people were expecting, I now have the game on the left, which is set in the crusades period.
It got average to somewhat good ratings, with most people citing the repetitiveness of the game as the chief weakness. All [...]
