Review: The Amazing Race (iOS)
Recently Ludia and CBS Mobile released The Amazing Race, a game based off of the popular television show of the same name, for iOS devices. We were fortunate to get our hands on the iPhone version, and as a person who has never watched an episode of the TV show, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect.
Review: Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (360)
Earlier this year, I began playing the first Assassin’s Creed. I completely fell in love with Altaïr, and even though I never completed the game (only because it became a bit too tedious and I had other things to play), I have only fond things to say of it. Despite the fact that we own AC II, I have yet to play a second of it. So why did I completely play through Brotherhood not knowing anyt...[Read More]
Review: ArcaniA – Gothic 4 (Steam)
When writing a review, you’ll name-drop the game in question multiple times. If the title is less than catchy, you’ll abbreviate. For example, I’ll happily review “Fallout”, but wouldn’t touch “World of Warcraft” with a really long pole that’s used for barging. “WoW”, however, is a different story. Anyway, I’m reviewing ArcaniA – Gothic 4, but which is it to be? ArcaniA, or Gothic 4? Right now, yo...[Read More]
Review: LUXOR 5th Passage (PC)
Last month, LUXOR fans were delighted when MumboJumbo Games released their latest installment in the franchise, and for good reason; LUXOR 5th Passage is a ton of fun.
Review: Kick Ass (PS3)
Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down in front of my TV, curled up in a ball with my delicious Starbucks and kicking ass on Kick Ass. After several levels of gameplay, some curse words, and lots of dead enemies, I present to you: my thoughts on Kick Ass’ addition to the PlayStation Network!
Review: Crescent Pale Mist (PS3)
Crescent Pale Mist is a new PlayStation downloadable game from Sony Online Entertainment and Rockin’ Android. It is a six-level, side-scrolling fighter/adventure game that has you face off against assassins, sorcerers and supernatural monsters while navigating the maze-like terrain. So, after playing all six levels, what did I think of the game?
Review: Alien Breed 3: Descent (Steam)
Alien Breed 3: Descent is the third and final chapter in Team 17’s reboot of their early 90’s arcade hit. Being a relative youngin, I was too busy chilling in the womb to catch the series first time round. YouTube tells me that the game involved navigating a series of corridors, picking up cards, opening doors, and blowing away dodgy xenomorph lookalikes. Nineteen years later, and Team 17 has adva...[Read More]
Review: Avenue Flo: Special Delivery (PC)
Having never played the original Avenue Flo PC game, I honestly was under the assumption that I would be playing another game similar to Cooking Dash, Diner Dash, and Wedding Dash. It took less than 30 seconds for the game to show me that what I was playing focused more on the characters in the DinerTown universe, and that I was in for a lot of mini-game fun.
Review: Y’s: The Oath In Felghana (PSP)
This PSP RPG is kicking it old school. Just be warned that the old school part includes the good with the bad.
Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
Thanks to Twitter (@JoeyZambrano, specifically), Lindsey and I managed to get our hands on six passes (two of which were used for Lindsey and myself, of course, while the other four were given to our friends Chris, Kelly, Lianne, and Lee) for an advanced screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 last night. Now, if you’ve been a long-time reader, you may remember the excitemen...[Read More]
Review: WordUs2 (iOS)
A few days ago I had the pleasure of downloading WordUs2 onto my iPhone. Developed by an unknown indie studio, Binary Dawn Interactive, I knew I was in for a treat when I heard an old school dial-up modem going off as the game loaded.
Review: Unlikely Suspects (PC)
I recently finished playing several hours of Unlikely Suspects, the latest PC offering from MumboJumbo Games. The premise of the game is simple: a murder happens, you have to investigate the scene of the crime, gather evidence, and then determine what the murder weapon was and who did it. If this is sounding a lot like the popular board game Clue, you are correct, and that can only mean one thing:...[Read More]
