July 1, 2008

Abandoning the arcade-style controls, the creators switched to a hold-and-release shot mechanic that requires careful timing and planning. It’s a huge mistake.

D.I. – The Suburbia Sessions – Review

July 1, 2008

Practice space run through shot live and unedited by the Flipside crew. You may already know “Richard Hung Himself.” (Slayer rocked it on Undisputed Attitude.)

Black Francis – SVN FNGRS – Review

July 1, 2008

June 1, 2008
