I know Chinatown wars for the Nintendo DS has been out for a while, but its better late than never to give yawl a review.  It reverts to the the older days of GTA, with top down gameplay.  Read IGN’s review here.

Some fantastic news to all you Saints Row 2 addicts… A recent interview with the lead DLC producer for Saints Row 2, James Torbit, unveils new DLC plans for Saints Row 2.  It will feature six new vehicles, three new missions, even more hairstyles and outfits, and new multiplayer maps.  Perhaps best of all, all this is expected to be released very soon, April 16th! Click here to read more!

Some exiting news today folks!  A new Fallout game has been announced, and no, this is not DLC!  A completely new Fallout is on the way, but this time it’s under development from a new studio, Obsidian Entertainment.  Now before you think “Oh no, the Fallout 3 I know and love will be ruined!”,  Obsidian was founded by people from Interplay, the creators of the original Fallout games.  Read the full article here, courtesy of IGN.com.

Hey all!  On todays update I give you a preview for a new Sandbox Game called “The Saboteur”.  If just the name alone gets you excited, you’ll be thrilled to hear it’s from the creators of Mercenaries 1 and 2, Pandemic Studios!  The setting is in the WW2 era, and as such, the game has a unique style… one that I certainly won’t be a fan of.  Some parts of the game will be in black and white.  Sure, some areas will have full color, but personally I enjoy seeing red blood… not grey.  You can check out the full preview here, and be sure to leave a comment!

Thanks to a recent comment, I’m aware that Red Faction: Guerrilla is in fact, a sandbox game.  I recently played a demo for it, and enjoyed how you can break, blow up, and beat anything in the world.  You can literally take a sledgehammer, beat down supports on a building and watch it fall!  I don’t know if it’s just me, but there’s something oddly satisfying about that.  If you have an Xbox 360, and want to try the demo, follow this link to download the demo automatically when you start up your 360.  Note that the demo is on the Playstation store as well, but unfortunately, no PC demo is available as of late.
