In our neonate online podcast episode, you’ll have to overlook the bumps and potholes as we navigate our way through technical difficulties (such as conversing in nerd-speak without being in the same city ONLINE, nonetheless).

Metal Gear Solid fans have a brand new collection to drool over, in the MGS: Legacy Collection, which brings together just about every Metal Gear game currently in existence.  While the new collection doesn’t add anything we haven’t gotten before, in terms of gameplay, it features some other extras specific to this set.  Is it enough to justify the purchase for fans?  Come inside to check our review and find out.

In a bold move, the 343 Industries-helmed Halo franchise has departed from it's Xbox home and made it's way onto Windows 8 platforms.  But Halo die-hards need not worry.  This mobile/PC entry into the legendary series has everything you're looking for.  Read on to see our score and full breakdown of Halo: Spartan Assault.

Blame it on the Mayans or maybe the holidays, but this episode is all shades of crazy.  The TFGP crew review Farcry 3 and Persona 4 for the Vita.  We talk all about this year’s Video Game Awards (VGA’S) , and we start the discussion of what game should win our Golden Motorboat Award for Gaming Excellence.

With The Last of Us, Naughty Dog has created something truly special that stands as a firm testament to video games as an art form.  Read on to see how it stacks up in terms of gameplay, graphics, and story!

Remember Me was a surprise title for me when it was announced. We all knew this generation was coming to an end, yet we saw awesome games like The Last of Us and Remember Me get announced. Each game looked amazing in their own way, but Remember Me had everything I love, fantasy, technology, an amazing world with a vibrant unique story. Besides The Last of Us, it was one of my most anticipated titles, and so far its delivering for sure.

The Vita seems to be getting a huge push from Sony by supporting all PS4 titles via remote play, but the device itself is still getting plenty of support of its own. At E3 there were a ton of great games to play and one of them was Killzone: Mercenary. Since the franchise’s next console iteration (Shadow Fall) is being hyped up for the PS4, I had to get my hands on the Vita version of it.

One thing that had a presence at E3 that wasn’t a big fancy new console was NVidia’s new handheld. The Shield is NVidia’s answer to stay in the gaming market and produce something for gamers. However is the device something Gamers should be looking out for?

The first thing we ever saw for the PlayStation 4 was it's controller, and Sony has been touting it as a unique feature for the system that will enhance our gameplay.  Like we did with the Xbox One controller, we got some time to play around with Sony's fancy new Dualshock 4 and our bringing our first impressions to you. 

Microsoft's E3 press conference was all about the games (mostly) and little attention was paid to the redesigned controller for the Xbox One, which, during their reveal event, they boasted had several significant changes.  We got some hands on time with the new controller to see if the changes are a good thing, or fixing what isn't broken. 

The highly anticipated Bioshock Infinite hit stores finally last week to generally positive reviews.  Does the game live up to the hype as well as the legacy of its predecessor?  It's definitely worth playing through, but it's not quite as revolutionary as most reviews would suggest.  Come inside to check out our thoughts on Irrational Games' latest.

The much anticipated follow-up, or expansion if you will, to Blizzard’s StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, released last week during what is an already busy and bustling month for video games.  Does Blizzard’s newest real-time strategy game have what it takes to stand out in a month full of triple-A games?  Come check out our full review to find out.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a radical departure from previous games that have held the Metal Gear moniker in terms of gameplay.  Is it too much of a difference for gamers to enjoy?  Will people new to the franchise have a lesser experience?  After having played through the game (a couple times now) I’m here to hopefully answer those questions and help you decide whether or not it’s worth picking up (if you’re still unsure about it). 

I have always loved Super Smash Bros. and it’s the one game that has always made me miss having a Nintendo console. However I have always loved the idea of Sony doing something similar. So many characters to choose from, so many ideas, and it’s finally here! The two games are not the same at their core. Is the idea the same? Sure, but anyone that gives both games a shot will quickly learn they are two very different experiences. Which is a good thing, we get to see a very awesome game with very creative ideas. At its core, PlayStation All-Stars is a stellar fighting game about some of the most iconic characters in the industry.
