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 »

March of the Eagles is a sandbox war game set in the time of the Napoleonic era.

Review: Gemini Wars

Know this from the start: Gemini Wars is absolutely horrible. If you’re the sort of person that watches NASCAR in hopes of seeing a crash, then by all means continue reading this review – but again, just so you know where this is going, Gemini Wars is one of the most broken and unnecessarily frustrating … Continue reading »

Review: Defender’s Quest: Valley of the Forgotten

There’s something about naming a character at the beginning of an RPG that gives a player some emotional investment. Whether that’s from years of Pavlovian grooming or because the process has an intrinsic value game creators discovered long ago, Level Up Labs clearly understands the principle and puts it to good use.

Review: Primal Carnage

Videogamers and dinosaurs have quite the sordid modern history. In the last couple console generations, man versus prehistoric beast has typically meant “commercial flop.” True enough, people were excited about Turok’s inception, but he quickly wore his welcome thin. Now along comes Lukewarm Media thinking that they can change that dynamic and bring us all … Continue reading »
