Review: DC Universe Online

Admit it, everyone at some point in their life wanted to have super powers.  What would you choose?  Would you fly?  Command the elements?  Use super-human strength?  Well you need not wonder anymore, as DC Comics along with Sony and WB Games allows you to immerse yourself in the DC Universe (DCUO).  The game starts off with a rather intense […]

Review: Naughty Bear

Naughty Bear puts you in the shoes, or paws rather, of a murderous, conniving, brutally violent but simply misunderstood over-sized teddy bear called Naughty.  Over the course of a couple of missions, Naughty will fight and frighten the other bears on Perfection island for his own survival, to lash out at a society that has rejected him and of course […]
