Why I Failed Shameless Gaming Month
PXOD guest contributor Trjn ran a piece at the end of June that declared July to be “Shameless Gaming Month“, that magical time of the year where there’s not a lot of titles coming out so you can power through your backlog.

At A Glance: Europa Universalis 3
As someone who’s not a huge fan of strategy games, there’s something strangely alluring about Europa Universalis 3.

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd Enjoys Huge Japan Launch
To say that Monster Hunter is a big franchise in Japan would be putting it modestly. The 3rd in the PSP series launched on Tuesday. How did it go? Well, let’s just say that “monster” is a very suitable word.

Review: WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2011
Being my first foray into the virtual wrestling ring since the awful 2008 TNA iMPACT! game, and my first game from the SmackDown vs Raw series this generation (with my last being back in 2007, on the PSP), this title had a fair bit of hype in my own mind as the one that gets… Continue reading Review: WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2011
