Welcome to the first-ever GEN Game Guide. Why now? Why Demon’s Souls? Because, it is one of the hardest games that most modern gamers will ever encounter, but it’s also one of the most unique and rewarding virtual experiences because of it.

Activision Launches Charity Site

Activision Launches Charity Site


Imagine living in the desert, away from your family and friends for months … years.    Imagine waking up every day of your life and wondering if today is the day you will die.  The day your child takes it’s first steps without you. The day you will take another life.   The day one of your best friends will no longer be there.

Now, imagine returning home after this struggle only to face a new one - the inability to get a paying job back here in the states. For 20% of our veterans, that is the challenge.

Activision not only launched the much anticipated Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2 this week but it also launched the Call of Duty Endowment,  a website to assist our military veterans in finding employment after their tours of duty have ended.

Take a look at the site.   Donate if you are able to but, more importantly, spread the word about this great charity.

C.O.D.E.

New Tony Hawk: RIDE hawtness!

New Tony Hawk: RIDE hawtness!


While you may be getting tired of guitar and drum peripherals, Activision has yet another unique toy for you to add to your collection. Personally, as long as it doesn’t have a strum bar or five rainbowtastic buttons I’m all for trying new things. I desperately want Tony Hawk: RIDE to be good (although THUG is still going to be hard to top), and if this new trailer is any indication, the skateboard controller may just have what it takes to deliver a fun, as-close-to-authentic-as-a-piece-of-plastic-can-get skating experience. Check it out, drop your thoughts, and come back for our review on or around the game’s November 17th release!

PS3 Review: X-Men Origins: Wolverine


After seeing X-Men Origins: Wolverine in theaters and knowing the toxic reputation of movie-based video games, I had grim hopes that the most recent X-Men film’s console adaptation would impress. Firing up my PS3 and taking a deep breath, I prayed for at least a mediocre game. Well, I was wrong. It’s better.
