MLB 09: The Show Improvements

We Are Back

By: Kevin Larrabee
In August I made a “final post” declaring that RedZoneGamer.com was dead, and would no longer continue. As you can see from the badass picture of the T-800 on the left, we are back. My former boss at GameTrailers.com continued to tell me I needed to keep writing about video games. We were [...]

Blog: So I Bought a 80GB PS3 Lunchbox…

By: Kevin Larrabee
I know, I just bought a 40GB PS3 a few weeks ago… But I saw that NewEgg.com had some 80GB Motorstor Bundles randomly so I had to jump on it. Why? Because I want to play some PS2 games I missed out on. Mainly God of War II, which just dropped to the [...]

Blog: Microsoft April Fools
