Initial Video Productions

About this original series

Dax has a lot of time on his hands, which he spends on "Late Reviews," where he reviews old PC games once the hype has passed, and "Free to $10," which focuses on quick, cheap games for the gamer on a budget. Plus whatever else he decides to throw together in his video editor. Enjoy!

      Late Reviews - Bioshock 2

      Dax finally gets off his ass and finishes his 25th review, the watered-down sequel "Bioshock 2." [Following text to be added after/below video embed] I'd like to apologize for the time it took to get this out; life and other things happened. As always, comments and helpful criticism is appreciated, so discuss below at your leisure. Extra super-special-awesome thanks to Spazz, The Shades, Enigma, Roo CotGW and Diamanda Hagan for providing bits for this video! And there may be a teaser for my ne...

      Late Reviews - Bioshock

      Dax dives deep into the world of Rapture to see if Bioshock still has merit, or if it's sprung a leak over time.

      After two years of "Late Reviews," Dax decides to go back and try to comment on his first two videos. [Add below video] I originally planned this for the two-year anniversary of "Late Reviews," but I ended up getting the date wrong... seems like the show's name has turned into a bit of a curse. Anyway, thanks for listening to me ramble and stumble my way through my first two vids. Expect more (and hopefully better) "Late Reviews" coming soon! As always, feel free to comment and ask questions b...

      Late Reviews - System Shock 2

      Dax digs up an oldie, but is it still a goodie? This time it's the classic 1999 RPG hybrid horror-fest, System Shock 2. [Add below video] System Shock 2 is property of Looking Glass Studios, Irrational Games and Electronic Arts. It is out of production and not currently available for purchase on any digital platforms, so I would recommend an .

      Early Reviews - L4D2 Cold Stream beta

      Dax rants about the problems with a new upcoming Left 4 Dead 2 campaign. For those new to this series (since I've only done one before this), Early Reviews is my counterpoint to Late Reviews, where I rant about an upcoming game via a trailer, demo or beta release. Expect my observations to be mostly negative because I want to point out what's wrong with it before it becomes a full release.

      Late Reviews - Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

      Dax sinks his teeth into one of his favorite sandbox games of all time. Can the GTA experience survive on a PC? And what was that "Hot Coffee" business all about? [Nick, put this section below the video embed please] And for those interested, a shorter version of my User Tracks station music, pieces of which can be heard in the review: "Malaguena Salerosa (live version)" by Chingon. "Amazing Horse (Weebl's Stuff cover)" by Nerd Folia. "Bad Karma," "Excitable Boy," ; "Werewolves of London" and ...

      Late Reviews - Evil Genius

      Dax uses mad science to take over the world, of course! "Evil Genius" was the runner-up in the Viewer's Choice vote, and since two of the voters are guys I owe big favors to I figured I could start repaying my debt by tackling a review of his minion-micro-management game.
