'Yesterday' Game Review

Alex Riviello — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:00:07 +0000

When I was in high school I had a friend who brought over some pictures he took while exploring a supposedly abandoned lair of a satanic cult.

A Look Inside the Monster-Hunter of 'The Witcher 2′

Alex Riviello — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:30:15 +0000

Most Xbox 360 gamers haven’t been able to experience The Witcher, the absolutely fantastic action RPG that was released on PC back in 2007. This is a shame.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 Game Review

Phil Villarreal — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:07:20 +0000

If you’re going to re-release what, at its core, is basically the same game every year and expect fans to keep forking over their $60 again and again, you’d better add something worthwhile.

'Xenoblade Chronicles' Game Review

Phil Villarreal — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 15:30:43 +0000

Released nearly two years ago in Japan and last year in Europe, you’d expect Xenoblade Chronicles to look at least somewhat dated.

The new SimCity game is the first installment in the series in almost a decade, so things are pretty different.

Legend Of Grimrock is Now Available for Pre-Order

Sine Mora Game Review

Alex Riviello — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:03:14 +0000

The oddly titled Sine Mora is a throwback to perhaps the most hardcore of genres, the sidescrolling shooter. Affectionately known to fans as shoot’em ups (shmups in internet-speak), the games featured some of the most challenging gameplay around. Xevious, Gradius, R-Type, M.U.S.H.A., Ikaruga, all classics that relied on superhuman reflexes, the epitome of twitch gaming. [...]

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Game Review

Alex Riviello — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 17:00:41 +0000

ResidentEvil.com

This is not the Resident Evil you were expecting. Capcom decided to take a detour before the sixth installment of their survival horror series to bring some squad-based multiplayer to the zombie-infested property. To do so they enlisted the help of developer Slant Six Games, the team behind multiple ‘SOCOM’ titles, and the results are a bit mixed.

'Angry Birds Space' Review

Alan Tsang — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 17:25:07 +0000

Developer Rovio has spared no expense promoting the latest iteration of their billion dollar franchise since announcing Angry Birds Space last month. An aggressive marketing campaign, involving big names you don’t usually associate with video games (such as NASA and National Geographic), promises an epic new space adventure for the Birds to embark on. But, does it live up to the hype?

'I Am Alive' Game Review

Alex Riviello — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:30:50 +0000

I’m about halfway through a dark subway tunnel when I realize I’ve been here before. I had ended up back in the dark, dirty depths after nearly being asphyxiated in the dust storm currently raging outside, one of the many dangerous things in this new, post-apocalyptic world. I haven’t been in the city for a year since the disaster and the streets are still very familiar to me, but I never expected the subways to trigger a memory. But this one was more recent- I had been here only hours before. In fact, I realized that I had helped a starving woman at the end of the tunnel, giving her the food cans that she so desperately needed.

'Mass Effect Infiltrator' Game Review for iPhone

Nick Romano — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:00:04 +0000

In the likely event you’re not like us and don’t have the time to invest hours (and we mean solid hours) of your life into killing as many aliens as you can muster in ‘Mass Effect 3’, you might want to take a gander at ‘Mass Effect Infiltrator.’

'Syndicate' Review

Alex Riviello — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:30:35 +0000

All of this has happened before, and will happen again. ‘Syndicate‘ has joined the rank of PC gaming classics like ‘Jagged Alliance,’ ‘Monkey Island’ and ‘X-Com,’ beloved titles who are getting modern remakes with varying degrees of success and faithfulness. Released on the PC in 1993, Syndicate is a real-time action/strategy game set in a [...]

'MLB 12: The Show' Game Review

Phil Villarreal — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 19:00:47 +0000

Like a grizzled veteran who rocks a shelf full of MVP trophies and is unthreatened by any up-and-comers on the farm system, ‘MLB 12: The Show‘ no longer has the eye of the tiger. Instead, it just coasts, does the awesome things you expect it to do and calls it a day.

'Street Fighter X Tekken' Game Review

Phil Villarreal — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 17:00:55 +0000

‘Street Fighter X Tekken’ reminds us of that bathtub scene in Billy Madison when Adam Sandler pits a bottle of shampoo and conditioner in a deathmatch. It’s nearly as ridiculous a proposition — and somehow just as fitting — to pit the two-dimensional, projectile-happy Street Fighters against the 3D shuffle-meisters from the world of Tekken.

We Don't Want to Wake Up from 'Alan Wake's American Nightmare' [REVIEW]

Phil Villarreal — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:00:11 +0000

The new trend is for game publishers with just-crazy-enough-to-work sequel ideas to release the games as bite-sized, stand-alone downloads that look and feel just like the disc-based games. That’s how ‘Red Dead Redemption’s’ straight-shooting cowboy John Marston ended up tangling with zombies in ‘Undead Nightmare’ and superhuman rail-surfer Cole Phelps of Infamous infamy ended up becoming a vampire in Festival of Blood.

Now half-crazy pulp fiction author Al

'Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning' Is a Fastball of an RPG [REVIEW]

Phil Villarreal — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:00:01 +0000

You met ‘The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’ and fell in love at first dragon bite. You gazed into its eyes and started to spend all your time together, questing looting and slaying. It was true love.
