Call of Duty 2 Duty needs to learn to stop calling all the time or just leave a message. So the other day I got this call… it was Duty, again. He was saying I had to go fight in some war they’re calling dubya dubya 2. I said, “You’re crazy! I already shot those damn Nazis so many times before. How do they keep coming back?” But I never got an answer because that asshole hung up on me. I sat there for a minute thinking of what ...

Call of Duty No cows were harmed in the making of this game Who loves to shoot Nazis? Hmm? That’s right; everyone on this green earth who isn’t a Nazi likes to shoot Nazis. Perhaps that is one reason why this game is so freaking awesome. Perhaps it also helps that you play as a wide variety of different soldiers, from British to American to Soviet (sorry, no German, although you do get to impersonate one for a while). Or maybe it’s the weapons. There seems to be ...

If that’s the case, go find some other website and whine ...

Quake 4: Editor’s pick for average game of the year. The rules of popularity apply similarly for games as they do for celebrities. With so many of them out there, it is important for them to stand out or they’ll end up in the $5 bin smoking man-pole for crack. The methods for standing out have been varied over time, but it usually involves being unique and entertaining even when you look back years later.

Lumines Hypnotic gameplay and groovy tunes like never before, and I’m insane. Original games for the PSP are rarer than amplizine readers. It’s like the little brother you give all your hand-me-downs to as if he can’t blaze his own trails. And so when a unique game finally does break away from the masses of sequels and shrunken ports, the last thing you’d expect is for it to be a puzzle game. From the creator of Rez and Space Channel 5, Lumines is a slick “fusion between music and ...
