I’ve been gaming since around the age of five, and up until last November I thought I had achieved some of the most rewarding and inspiring moments of my gaming life: catching ‘em all the first time, vanquishing Ganon for the first time, the list goes on. But something happened over the course of 48 hours from November 19 to November 21 that easily put all of those achievements to shame and replaced the pride of succeeding and accomplishment with the pride of our medium and community making a difference.

Ah yes, Monster Jam. A bizarre obsession in America, ranking close with NASCAR as an one of our most popular vehicle-based “sports” wherein the drivers perform amazing stunts and complete speedy races to awe the crowd.

Thus enters Monster Jam: Path of Destruction.

Before I say anything about the gamplay, understand something. I love unnecessary peripherals. And this game comes with a steering wheel and stickers! I mean, really, how many titles ship with a decent-sized steering wheel to dock your Wii remote into (though it refuses to actually stay docked if you tilt it at all towards you), and stickers to decorate it with? None with both of those, that I know of. It really says something about a game when the best aspect is the peripherals it comes with. So, you probably have gathered where this review is going.

I’ve been wanting to get my hands on this game for months but when it came, I was sick so I had to wait until I was ready to get up and shake my moneymaker.

The first time I ever played Ghost Recon was when it came out for the Nintendo GameCube. That game was an absolute blast, and the controller was perfect. My love for Ghost Recon grew as I got into the Xbox versions, but it still wasn’t quite the same as the one for the GameCube. When I heard that a new Ghost Recon was coming out for the Wii, I was excited but at the same time very worried that it wouldn’t live up to my expectations.

2010 has been an excellent year for Platinum Games, with the North American releases of Bayonetta and Vanquish providing me some of the most memorable gaming I have had the pleasure of experiencing in a very long time. Now that they’ve reached the end of their four-game publishing deal with SEGA, what comes next for the studio that has made itself very near and dear to my heart? Well, obviously, potentially extending their partnership with SEGA for one more game! According to Alan Pritchard, executive VP of Sales and Marketing for SEGA, a fifth title from Platinum Games and SEGA will be announced! Read the full story
