Oblivion?

MACARONI ASKS: I’m 12 years old, and I was wondering what you think about me playing it. I haven’t yet, and when i asked my dad (because he has it) he was pretty vague. I asked some friends of ours who have the game and they said the game wasn’t that gory or anything, just scary. Now I don’t like many scary things, but I can handle some things, so I wanted to know how scary it is, because I really want to play it. I’m pretty mature, I think (-: and I think I could handle it. I haven’t asked my dad recently, and he played it, just not much. Anyway, I wanted your opinion on if I should play it or not.
Game Review: Bit.Trip Runner (WiiWare)
Posted on May 22nd, 2010 by
The Bit.Trip series of WiiWare games feature a few common themes. They’re rhythm based and have a retro look and feel. The music in the Bit.Trip game are ‘chiptunes,’ which are 8-bit sounding electronic songs written by modern day artists. Past games in the series also had old-school gameplay ideas, like ball and paddle or classic shooter elements. And the newest game in the series introduces 2-D platform jumping to the mix!

If you wait for a few seconds, you can actually PLAY Pac-Man right there on Google!
Once Upon a Time in Red Dead Redemption
Posted on May 20th, 2010 by
In the vast expanse that is New Austin there’s a lot to do. Most of involves killing but hey, this is the wild west as seen through the lens of Sergio Leone. The Italian “Spaghetti” Westerns, starring Clint Eastwood, loom large over Rockstar’s latest playground and I couldn’t be happier about the result. They nailed it. From the man-of-few-words hero/villain that has a name (Marston) to the endless parade of classic and homage ridden sidequests. I haven’t delved far into the main quest but the desert and I have more than a passing acquaintance. It’s a dangerous place, not as lonely as it should be, but there’s something interesting around every corner. Thankfully, the pace, except for the main missions, is yours to make.
