South Park has been around for quite sometime, sense my early days of High School I’ve been something of a fan. With a huge successful franchise usually brings about a Video Game. South Park has had a couple of these, while I did enjoy the FPS N64 version there hasn’t been any that have caught my eye. Well that was until I heard there was going to be a South Park Tower Defense Game. I was first introduced to Tower Defense with Field Runners on the iPhone sense then it’s been something of an addiction. How does South Park’s leap into the Tower Defense Genre hold up?

From Baseball to Marvel, Card Collecting has been around FOREVER!! (<–Sandlot Style) Once the introduction of the TCG (Trading Card Game) Card collecting went to a new level. It wasn’t only about having a Frank Thomas Rookie Card (Okay just showed my age there), it was about getting that Death Star Card. That one card that would just make your deck the most powerful force to be recokon with. Well Cardboard Crack has evolved sense then manifesting through various online options, from complete gameplay to just being able to get in game items. Magic the Gathering has tried the online portion and is now setting it’s sights to the XBLA Community. How does the game actually compare to it’s Card Counterpart?

Review: Sam & Max Save the World XBLA

Gaming for me started in the early years of my childhood. Evolving from NES to Apple IIe to the glory days of the PC. During the glory days Lucas Art’s wasn’t just releasing the next iteration of the Star Wars Franchise. They were releasing these Point N Click adventures and they were great. Now I’d played plenty of Point n Clicks back in my time ranging from King’s Quest up to Full Throttle. The sad thing was for me during this time one particular Point N Click slipped through my grubby mouse clicking fingers. This jewel was constantly advertised and various demos were included in almost all Lucas Art’s Games. This game of course was Sam & Max. I heard the series was going through a rebirth and I got really excited well for a moment and then I saw the PC requirements. Again to my dismay I would be unable to play Sam & Max lucky for me Telltale Games has released it on both the Wii and the Xbox 360. How does the Point and Click hold up to today’s standards? A question that I shall answer.
