Time Soldiers
I've got 31 years of video gaming under my belt. I remember arcades from 1980 until they closed down for most of the country. I remember playing some of the hardest games known to man. I remember when SNK was prominent in the arcades and really brought some great material to gamers. What I don't remember is Time Soldiers from SNK, which could possibly be the hardest arcade game known to man.
Gang Wars
Ah, old school video gaming, you have to love it. I know I love it because it brings back so many memories of things that didn't involve multiplayer, kids cursing me out online and a simpler video gaming era. All good stuff. Anyway, SNK Playmore brought out some oldies from their attic to PSN; one of which is Gang Wars. How did it hold up after so many years? Let's talk.
Papo & Yo
“I love that little friend on your back,” said my fiancé as she watched me play Papo & Yo. It was a casual observance, but one particular word, “friend” really struck a chord with me. Friends aren’t something you have in games, or at least not in the traditional sense. Rather, they’re devices whose sole purpose is predicated on predetermined game instances....[Read More]
Retro/Grade
An ideal mash-up has one foot in desperate plausibility and the other in the whimsical ramblings of an imaginative youth. At an earlier point in my life this was realized through the fusion of candy and breakfast to form Reece's Puffs and it was delicious. The folks at 24 Caret Games apparently spent their nights dreaming of slamming Guitar Hero against a side scrolling shoot 'em up because that's...[Read More]
Darksiders II
Darksiders II is a true sequel. It continues the story of the original, refines many of its gameplay elements, adds new ones, and offers a significantly different experience to clearly distinguish itself. It's another excellent game by Vigil that shouldn't be missed.

NCAA Football 13
Last year's NCAA Football was a significant improvement over the previous years. It brought us better visuals, deeper gameplay and, more importantly, it wasn't merely a primer for the real deal of Madden. This year, EA Sports and EA Tiburon bring us more of the same, but with a few changes. So, if you're looking for a continuation of the large upward trend the series created anticipation for, you ...[Read More]
The Walking Dead: Episode 2 – Starved for Help
Telltale's take on The Walking Dead continues to shame AMC's television series.
The Walking Dead: Episode 1 – A New Day
I'm aware this review is posting a little over two months after release of A New Day, Episode 1 of Telltale's take on Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead. It's appearing today at Digital Chumps because...
Brave
Based on the Pixar film by the same name, Brave attempts to bring good action, sweet charm and depth to a video game movie stereotype that desperately needs it. If you're a gamer that knows the ropes when it comes to movie-to-game conversions, then you know what I'm talking about.
DiRT Showdown
The newest Dirt is focused on arcade racing, including plenty of destructive events that are a blast online or with friends.
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
Tt Games and Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment are at it again in the LEGO universe with their latest creation LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. This time, though, they take presentation to an entirely new level.
