Today I thought I'd review JU-ON: The Grudge. I played it on my birthday with a group of friends and we had a great time! Really! It was a terribly average game, but the morning we played it was unforgettable. While not terribly scary, one moment that stood out was where we were eating birthday cake, my friend was on a second playthrough and he examined a door that I had yet nothing had happened. I think that I hadn't looked up high enough to trigger it because when I was playing, while I had the audio cue for an event, nothing happened. Needless to say, a hand grabbed him and we were so unexpecting of it, that we both leapt. And I dropped my cake. Thus the phrase, "it was so scary I dropped my cake" came into creation ohoho. Oh I'm ranting, sorry, I'll let you read my review. Thanks!

I've always been fond of The Grudge film series. Sure, each film got worse with each sequel, but they had this unique charm to them. A malicious force where people killed in a fit of rage come back as a violent spirit. It's a curse that grows more and more powerful and spreads like a disease. No one is safe, it cannot be killed, it doesn't stop. If a character becomes involved, they're going to die. As shown by the films, there isn't a protagonist in the series that survives. In honor of the 10th anniversary of the JU-ON series, a video-game was created exclusively for the Wii. So just how does it fare?

Alan Wake Review
Remedy Studios are most well known for their Max Payne games. It got a film deal and they sold the rights on, so what exactly have they done since? The answer being Alan Wake, an interesting title that was actually announced five years ago in 2005 as a PC and Xbox 360 game. Recently, they announced it would be an Xbox 360 exclusive. Now that it is out, the question on everyones mind is, was it worth the wait?

Yakuza 3 Review
I stayed under 1000 words! I think I'll keep it that way from now on. TEXT WALL K GO. Oh sorry, please read. Ty :3

Yakuza is an odd series. You would think that it's an all out brawler by looking at the back of the case, but it really is so much more. At first glance you could compare it to the Grand Theft Auto series due to it's free-roam nature, but that would be wrong too. If anything, it's like a more action orientated version of Shenmue. While the two games were made by SEGA, don't get the two mixed up. Yakuza 1 and 2 were both PS2 games and received a good amount of attention in the West, while it definitely shined the most in Japan. Approximately a year after Yakuza 3 was released in Japan (with Yakuza 4 being released at the same time we get Yakuza 3) gamers in the West have a chance to step into the shoes of Kazuma Kiryu, the dragon of Dojima, as he once again takes on the Japanese underworld.
