It’s been a while since I tossed my enraged opinion about something on the site, but there’s been trouble brewing on the internet lately. As hardcore fans of the original 3 Silent Hill games, it seems like our expectations can never be matched with each new addition to the series. Silent Hill 1 was a [...]
I love detective games. Unfortunately trying to find decent ones that don’t involve mindless pointing and clicking makes playing good ones a bit of a rarity. Does L.A. Noire fill that deep inside burning to be master detective? Read on for my take on this bad boy from Rockstar.
Hello out there. Well it’s been a hectic year for us at SHR, which kinda left this place gathering cobwebs. To somewhat make up for it, I’m going to at least continue our year end awards by listing my top 5 for 2010, despite having not played some big titles. Read on to see Loco’s [...]
