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 […]
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Every once in a while a game defines a genre. It gets released into the public and becomes an instant classic, to which very few games(including sequels) can live up to. In 2000, PC gamers were introduced to one of these games called Deus Ex. Deus Ex was both critically and commercially acclaimed and some […]
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron
UTV Ignition Games travels outside of their comfort zone of localizing interesting games from Japan and develops a new IP from scratch to bring us El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. The game is a beautiful entry into the character action/ platforming genre from an Ignition built team lead by Takeyasu Sawaki, acclaimed character designer […]
Madden 2012 Review
The lockout has ended and the NFL preseason is here. That can only mean one thing: It’s time for another iteration of EA Sports’ annual franchise, Madden Football. EA Sports and Tiburon entered this year with a critically well-received Madden 2011 tucked under their belts. But like every year that passes, there are many others […]
Section 8: Prejudice Review
Section 8: Prejudice is the downloadable follow up to Section 8, a full-fledged retail game. The first Section 8 was hailed as a fun multiplayer focused title, and while Prejudice has a singleplayer campaign, it is not the meat of the title. It may seem odd that a developer has decided to change route and […]
