Fans were desperate for a Zelda that was a true sequel to Ocarina of Time. Sure, there was Majora's Mask and Wind Waker (and both rule), but they wanted something more. Enter Twilight, eight years after Ocarina; a gritty Zelda game full of darkness, demons, and a terrifying chicken lady! This Gamecube/Wii game was incredible, but was it too derivative of Ocarina of Time? This week, we're...

Words can not possibly express the depth and emotion of Bioshock Infinite. Well, Cameron and Jake are going to try to put it into words anyway.

Bioshock  was so stinkin good, there's no way the sequel could possibly add up, right? WRONG! Bioshock 2 was so much better than it had any right to be.

Tune in to hear what we thought! Spoiler Alert:...

Music: Intro- Luminare by HeatleyBros Various clips and quotes taken from the games Outro- Attack of the Hi...

Portal is pretty darn good, but Portal 2 is an absolute perfect video game. Don't you even think about arguing with us!

Let's face it, the 360 was the best part of this generation of consoles. It had games on games on games. There had to be at least 360 games, but we're not sure on that. If only we didn't have to deal with the infamous red ring of death! This week, we're looking back to 2005. A magical year filled with 360 things to talk about. Sorry if using 360 like that isn't very funny,...

Metroid Prime was a game changer for the Gamecube. It took an incredible series of 2D games and perfectly translated the formula into 3D.

I guess you can call us Region Locked this week. Apologie...
