I know there haven't been many reviews or even posts in general recently. Currently, I'm stuck on Skyrim. I just can't seem to rip myself away from such an immersing game. I will definitely get the review for Skyrim out soon, with Assassin's Creed and Saint's Row the Third shortly thereafter. Its also the end of a quarter for my schoolwork, so that will impede my posting as well. Just keep visiting, and expect to see those reviews pretty soon. The next big game doesn't come out for another few months, so there's plenty of time to catch up and finish all of the games that have come out this fall.

VGA Nominees Announced! (And Predictons!)
December 10th marks the Spike TV VGA's. This year looks to be one of the toughest competitions, and it will definitely have some surprising results. Also, look to see some new announcements for games and features, and new trailers. The VGA's are on at 8:00 Eastern Time, so that makes it 7:00 Central Time on Spike TV. My picks are the screenshots.

Lord of the Rings: War in the North Review
One of the most epic fantasy stories ever created sees new life through the eyes of a new side story in War in the North. The Lord of the Rings franchise has seen many different titles created over the years, from hack and slash movie based games, to full-fledged MMORPGs, to turn based strategy games. Snowblind Studios takes the formula of Baldur's gate and Champions of Norrath that they previously worked on and applies them to Middle Earth. To a point, this works really well, making for an extremely fun and enjoyable experience, but also struggles at times. The voice acting is only mediocre, and the story struggles to have the same epic feel that The Lord of the Rings exudes. Overall though, War in the North provides fans of the lore a new way to experience familiar locations and extend their time with The Lord of the Rings.

Uncharted 3 Review
Story. Usually, the worth of a game is judged ultimately by its story as long as nothing else ruins the gameplay experience. Uncharted 3 sets the bar in terms of it's story once again, leaving other games in the dust. A game that's origins started in single player continues to excel in that category, while improving upon the previously established multiplayer proves to be an excellent title. Without a doubt, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is the best game of the series, proven by the excellent story, unbelievable graphics, and improvements in all facets of the game.
