Lights, Camera, Party! – Review

Ok anyone who know me knows I love me some monkeys.  I love them at the zoo, I love them with fezzes, I love people dressed as monkeys wearing fezzes.  So if you want my instant love in a game have monkeys that behave festively.  If you have a...

Hybrid – Review (XBLA)

I wasn’t able to make it to E3 this year but I kept my eyes out and ears to the grapevine for any standout unusual games that might be coming down the way.  The word I got was, “Play Hybrid, it may be the most unique third person...

SNK PlayStation Minis: Chopper I And The...

There is just something I really like about the SNK PlayStation Minis: yes they download to my PSP in less than 5 minutes and they also take up almost no space and give you a full game, but I really think it is the fact that it gives me a...

Risen 2: Dark Waters (Xbox 360) – A...

Piranha Bytes and Deep Silver has brought us the latest game in the Risen franchise with Risen 2: Dark Waters.  Instead of being a direct sequel to Risen, Risen 2 feels more like a re-imagining of the entire franchise, giving up on the high...

The Dark Knight Manual (Book Review)

Occasionally we at GamingShogun.com read more than just game manuals (who am I kidding?  We NEVER read game manuals!) and on those occasions it usually has to do with something video game related.  In this case it was actually based off of...

Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack...

I love camp. My favorite movies are campy, many of my favorite games are campy, my favorite toys are campy, heck I figure life would be a far less enjoyable plane of existence were it not for camp.  So when I saw a stylized campy game called...

Skyrim: Dawnguard (PC Vs. Console)

So I had been totally falling behind in the gameplay department when it came to big titles.  Indie titles I was becoming the guru, much like Judgeman is our fighting guru and the GamingShogun himself is the sim stud, we could review anything...

The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Elite Edition...

Ok it took a while for me to get my hands on the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Elite Edition keyboard due to mailing issues and it has been a while since then.  I am sure that the folks at Razer thought I forgot all about it, but it is really the...
