Review: Beyond Good & Evil HD (XBLA)
Most gamers who played the original Beyond Good & Evil back in 2003 have fond memories of it. I was never one of those individuals. I can recall seeing the cases on the shelves inside the GameStops I worked at, but the game never appealed to me. There was something about it that led to me having zero interest in ever playing it, and it was only until the recent House Part XBLA announcement whe...[Read More]
Review: Cloning Clyde (Steam)
If you were paying attention last week (and if you weren’t, what the hell?), you already know how excited I am for this week’s Steam release of Cloning Clyde. NinjaBee Games has released some rather interesting titles across multiple systems, so I anticipated the chance to play another of their games on my chosen platform. This simple yet complex side-scroller really caught my eye, a...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Age 2 (PS3)
When Bioware released Dragon Age: Origins, an ode to their early days of fantasy RPG’s, it was received better than expected across all platforms. There were complaints aplenty, but the immersive world of Ferelden and the cast of deep, emotionally engaging characters captured the hearts of millions. The announcement of a sequel failed to surprise anyone. Bioware acknowledged from the start that th...[Read More]
Review: Rango: The Video Game (360)
Very rarely does a game based on a movie turn out to be good. Most of the time the graphics are atrocious, the gameplay is stagnant, and the game itself should’ve been scrapped. EA’s latest offering, Rango: The Video Game, is the exact opposite of that and gave me, hands down, one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had in a long time.
Review: Pokémon Black & White (DS)
Yes, there is a set of new Pokémon games. I'm sure you're shocked to hear this.
Review: The Simpsons’ “The Scorpion’s Tale”
This week’s Simpsons offering was pretty ho hum. Unlike the past few episodes, where some great jokes saved some bland plots, “The Scorpion’s Tale” was short on laughs, and ultimately was a forgettable experience.
Review: Alien Breed 3: Descent (PS3)
Alien Breed 3: Descent, the final chapter of the Alien Breed series, is a fitting end to the trilogy. Although it is a largely mediocre game, it may have something to offer you.
Review: Torchlight (XBLA)
I have fond memories of late nights spent playing Diablo and Diablo II with the only light in my room being provided by my glowing computer screen. Throw in a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos and a giant cup of Dr. Pepper or Pepsi (none of that Coca-Cola crap, thank you very much) and I had myself one hell of a Friday night. Runic Games brought together the mad skillz of Travis Baldree (designer of Fat...[Read More]
Review: RoboSockets (iOS)
iPhone games are a dime a dozen these days. Some are good, but a majority of them are absolutely dreadful. Fortunately for Tatem Games, the team behind RoboSockets, they fall into the good category.
Review: Trinity-Souls of Zill O’ll (PS3)
I have a rather odd analogy for you. Trinity is like that game you got for Christmas that you never asked for because who would ask for something like this. It’s the game that your grandma picked up for you because she looked at the box art or saw the title and thought whatever it is that grandma’s think that make them think such random buys is a good idea and so there you go, now you ...[Read More]
Review: CreaVures (Steam)
About a week ago, I got one of Steam's announcements for a new puzzle-platformer, CreaVures, from Muse Games. As soon as I saw the first moments of the trailer, I knew I was going to buy this game! Imagine my surprise, when I received an email the next day, offering me a chance to review it! Sweeeeeeet!
