In my opinion, there are two kinds of people who will play Fable II. The first are fans of Fable I. These people have a certain set of expectations that they hold in their hearts for Fable II. Count me in that category. The second kind of person who will play this is the person who did not play Fable I and has no idea what they're in for. I believe this second group of people will actually appreciate the game more. If you are not part of that category, I reccomend starting with a positive attitude and a willingness to accept more of the same as the game has taken some steps forward as well as a few backward.

A movie about the Max Payne videogame should be easy enough to write. Base it around a man who is haunted by the loss of his wife and child, add an addiction to pain-killers, and top it all off with some awesome slow-motion gunfights like the ones in the John Woo movies that inspired the game. Its a formula that should please fans and find moderate success among moviegoers. So who's idea was it to throw all that out the window and make the boring, action-starved, unintelligable Max Payne movie I watched today?

Nick and Andrew review Xbox LIVE Arcade's Duke Nukem 3D. The updated port features new tricks and an 8-player co-op mode, all while being the same Duke you remember from 10 years ago. Read the full story for the skinny on all the pixelated boobies and alien murder mayhem.

Every now and then, a game will seemingly come out of nowhere and surprise the hell out of you. Maybe a nice preview with some pretty screenshots is to credit for your newfound interest. Maybe its a demo you downloaded. Either way, you think you know what's coming down the pipeline for the next few months, and suddenly, that one game you'd never heard of is demanding that you bring it home. This year, Pure is that game.

It would be real easy to just say that this game is "SSX Snowboarding" crossed with "ATV Off-Road", but that would not be doing Pure it's due justice. What sets Pure apart from those games is that it has a more broad appeal in that there seems to be something for everyone. Speed junkies will love the game's great sense of speed and intensity, extreme sports fans will love the creative and imaginative tricks and stunts, and hardcore ATV fans will appreciate the ability to fully build and customize their ATVs from a bare frame to a complete ride, all with real parts from popular manufacturers. Best of all, hardcore gamers will dig the game's uncompromising demand for perfect performances out of it's players.
