Tekken 5 – Review

June 13, 2005

It’s the best-looking PS2 game on the block, and it knows it. Backgrounds are rendered with aplomb, and the environmental effects are intense.

God of War – Review

June 13, 2005

You head-butt your opponent and proceed to shove your blade into his gaping maw, extracting glowing spheres of life energy. You don’t defeat, you annihilate.

Dead Leaves – Review

June 13, 2005

Exploding pipes of sh!t, accidental buggery, people who transform into living arsenals, and Chinko, who has a gigantic drill for a cock. What the f*ck, dude??

Darkthrone – Sardonic Wrath – Review

June 13, 2005

Tiger Army III: Ghost Tigers Rise – Review

May 30, 2005

An interview with singer Mikael Stanne

Coheed And Cambria – In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 – Review

May 16, 2005
