Storm Review: “If patience is worth anything…”
When you hear “physics-based-puzzle-game” do you cringe, or get a little bit giddy? What reaction takes place is likely dependent not on objective feelings of the genre itself, but of your experience with particular titles. Ever since Angry Birds and Peggle took off, games of this nature have been struggling to share the limelight – … Continue reading
Fireburst Review: Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here
Fireburst, for all intents and purposes, may as well be completely unplayable. The core mechanic of this racing game is built around a “heat” meter on the left side of the screen which serves as a combination health/boost bar, where the more boost you use (or heat your vehicle collects) the closer you are to … Continue reading
The Swapper Review: I Think I’m A Clone Now
Puzzle platformer style games are extremely plentiful. Some are good, some are bad and then there are a select few that change your entire view of the genre. Braid was likely the last one of these types of games, taking time manipulation and developing a brilliant game around it. There’s no reason whatsoever that The … Continue reading
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger Review: A Tombstone for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly At the OK Corral
In 2011, Techland released two major games: Call of Juarez: The Cartel and Dead Island. While Dead Island wasn’t perfect, it was a fun game with some interesting mechanics. Call of Juarez: The Cartel, on the other hand, was a disaster, with poor gameplay mechanics and a storyline that many perceived as being racist and … Continue reading
Resident Evil: Revelations Review: Best of Both Worlds
It has been a rough stretch for fans of the Resident Evil series. Last year saw the release of the disappointing Resident Evil 6 and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. So when Capcom announced that Resident Evil: Revelations would be coming to consoles and PC, it was seen as a time to celebrate for most … Continue reading
Metal Gear Rising Revengence: Blade Wolf DLC Review: Spay and Neuter Your Pets

This time around we are treated to a behind the scenes glimpse at IF Prototype LQ-84i, also known as Blade Wolf. We visit the enemy-turned good guy before … Continue reading
Anomaly 2 Review: Twice as Much Anomalies
When 11 Bit Studios came out with Anomaly: Warzone Earth a few years back, it seemed as though they had struck upon a formula that would lead them assuredly to success. Refining the ideas in the original release, by the time the game came to the Xbox Live Arcade it was near perfection. Almost unfortunately … Continue reading
Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine Review: Ocean’s Four
Heists are absolutely perfect for video games. Pulling off a successful heist in your traditional blockbuster movie involves planning, stealth, hacking, action, strategy and more, all of which fall perfectly in line with commonplace gameplay in video games. It’s quite surprising that more developers don’t try to implement games based around heists. Luckily with Monaco: … Continue reading
Zack Zero Review: What’s In A Score? That Which We Call A Zero, By Any Other Name Would Still Suck As Much
Sometimes game developers make my job really easy. Sometimes they make games that are truly innovative, narratively engaging, beautiful to behold and possessed of so many virtues one cannot help but extol them. Like Skyrim. Sometimes developers make my job really easy by making games that are so horrible you can barely stand to play … Continue reading
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review: Shooting Giant Neon Lizards With Laser Guns Has Never Been More Fun
It’s quite a rare thing that Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon attempts to do. It takes the combat and gameplay mechanics from last year’s hit, Far Cry 3, and transports them into a retro 1980’s era video game set in the future. However, since Blood Dragon is portrayed as if it was made in the … Continue reading
