Format: PS3
Release Date: January 22, 2012
Publisher: Namco Bandai
Developer: Level-5
Price: $59.99
ESRB Rating: E

Ni No Kuni is game by Level-5, one of the most prestigious developers around. Ever since I saw the first screenshots and promotional videos for the game, I knew I had to play it. I am always looking for a good RPG to play, and that's exactly what I found. The game shattered all my expectations for it, and right from the start, it just blew me away.

Title: Joe Danger iOS
Format: iOS
Release Date: January 10, 2013
Publisher: Hello Games
Developer: Hello Games
Price: $2.99
ESRB Rating: E

I was always a big fan of Joe Danger on the PS3 and Xbox 360, and when Hello Games gave us the option to play the game on the go, I quickly jumped all over it.  Joe Danger for the iOS proves that games on the mobile platform are just as good as their console counterparts.  

S&S Review: Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt DLC

Title: Borderlands 2: Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt DLC
Format: PS3, Xbox 360, PC
Release Date: January 15, 2012
Publisher: 2K Games
Developer: Gearbox Software
Price: $9.99
ESRB Rating: M

The latest DLC expansion for Borderlands 2 stars the outlandish Sir Hammerlock, as you join him on a hunting expedition.  It's a cool concept for a DLC expansion, but the DLC never evolved into anything memorable.  Don't get me wrong, this is a good expansion, it just doesn't live up to the expectations set from previous expansions.

S&S Thoughts on: Call of Duty Black Ops 2 DLC

Title: Call of Duty Black Ops 2
Format: PS3,Xbox 360, PC
Release Date: November 12, 2012
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Treyarch
Price: $ 59.99
ESRB Rating: M

Yes as all of you now know Call of Duty Black ops 2 is well on it's way to getting it's first DLC. Only still in it's infancy stages we are already looking for the new downloads. What does this say about the CoD franchise? Can this keep going Companies it can and will till we the consumer say enough and refuse to buy it, but that will never happen for the simple reason that CoD will always have people who buy it just to say I have newest Call of Duty. We have proof already that the developer's do not care about the consumer but just the figure that they make off of us.

S&S Review: DmC Devil May Cry

Title: DmC Devil May Cry
Format: PS3(reviewed), Xbox 360, PC
Release Date: January 15, 2012
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Ninja Theory
Price: $59.99
ESRB Rating: M

Lets face it, the Devil May Cry series was one of the more popular franchises that really needed a reboot.  The game had gotten a little stale, and I had lost interest in the series as a whole.  Thankfully, Capcom gave the keys to Ninja Theory to try and reinvigorate the franchise.  They did just that, the game feels better, and fresh, and it was just a blast to play.  

S&S Review: Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse

Title: Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse
Format: PS3, Xbox 360, PC
Release Date: November 20th, 2012
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Heavy Iron Studios
Price: $49.99
ESRB Rating: M

I'm possibly one of the biggest Family Guy fans out there, and I had to give the game a try.  Even with all the negative reviews and remarks I've seen about the game, I still needed to get my hands on it.  Back to the Multiverse gives us some new time with Brian and Stewie, and I don't know anyone who would turn that down.  

S&S Review: The War Z

Title: The War Z
Format: PC
Release Date: October 31, 2012
Publisher: Arktos Entertainment
Developer: Hammerpoint Interactive
ESRB Rating: M

I know that a lot of people have had it up to here with The War Z, but I couldn't let the game seep through cracks without giving it it's fair shake.  The game has been ridiculed from day one, and for good measure.  A lot of people got ripped off from questionable bans, or they just received a random message saying they can't play the game anymore.  But I won't get too much more into that whole debacle. I actually thought the game had a great concept, it's execution was just too poor, and it turned out to be a huge mess.

Developer: Nintendo EAD
Price: $59.99 (Digital and Retail)
ESRB Rating: E for Everyone

Let's be honest: New Super Mario Bros. isn't exactly new anymore. As the fourth game in the series, New Super Mario Bros. U has a lot to live up to. So does it pull it off?

S&S Perspective: Top 5 PS Vita Games of 2012

When the PS Vita launched back in February of last year, it seems like there was a game released for it every week.  Since then, it has cooled off quite a bit.  It was still a pretty successful year for Sony's new portable, and I wanted to list some of my favorite titles featured on the system.
