The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Review
Bethesa has done it again. After five years since Oblivion’s critical success, they have created yet another potentially legendary hit, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Skyrim takes everything great about the series and attempts to fix everything that is bad. However, some of the bad remains. I cannot completely blame Bethesda considering the intimidating amount [...]
Nitronic Rush
I friggin’ love free games and who better to release them than students at Digipen Institute of Technology? Team Nitronic has created an amazing game called Nitronic Rush. Inspired by Tron and Rez, this San-Francisco-Rush-esque game offers engaging and pulse-pumping gameplay in the form of a classical arcade rac … well … I am not [...]
Battlefield 3
The battle of the big Fall releases has started and EA and DICE’s behemoth Battlefield 3 has finally hit stores. Battlefield 3 is the latest iteration of the extremely popular multiplayer centric Battlefield series. Battlefield 3 is a modern military shooter that also focuses mainly on its multiplayer component, which is probably a good thing because the [...]
Uncharted 3 Review
Only a few games truly stand out from the pack of the hundreds of titles released in one year’s time. Some excel in writing. Some introduce us to technology we’ve never seen before. Some are just downright fun to play. Naughty Dog happened to do all three of those things with their latest release, so [...]
Dark Souls
I must start out by saying a couple things: I have completed Demon’s Souls; I did not find it as excruciatingly difficult as everyone else did; and I am needing to reflect upon my initial feelings of it to accurately review Dark Souls. This is because Dark Souls is EXACTLY like Demon’s Souls sans a [...]
Dungeon Defenders
Dungeon Defenders is a very unique and different experience. Trendy Entertainment has captured the entertaining wave-based gameplay of the tower defense genre and meshed it together brilliantly with addictive RPG elements. Add fantastic third-person action gameplay and some of the best cooperative gaming you’ll come across this year, and you’ve got a formula for one [...]
From Dust
When I hear a game attributed to the god game genre, I expect a heavily immersive epic that celebrates the human existence. Currently, developers find it difficult to make games that meet the new and lofty achievements accomplished by ever evolving indie games like Dwarf Fortress. This also makes them hard pressed to introduce creative [...]
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is Relic Entertainment’s newest video game featuring Games Workshop’s incredibly deep Warhammer 40k universe. Unlike its real time strategy counterparts, Space Marine is the first of the Warhammer 40k video game titles to be an action oriented shooter. I was a little bit worried about how well the game would play [...]
BloodRayne: Betrayal
The BloodRayne series has quite the history with two slightly above average third-person action games, three films (unfortunately by Uwe Boll) with one of them seeing the big screen for maybe a week and the other two going straight to DVD and a one shot set of comics that hit in 2007. Though, from a [...]
Dead Island
Dead Island has, by far, the worst case of multiple personality disorder I have ever seen. From Borderlands to Dead Rising to Dead Space to Left 4 Dead, the game oddly combines the best of each into one beefy hybrid. After players having endured a five year spike in zombie games, Techlands gives us a [...]
