While I spent more than seventy hours ravenously consuming the breadth of content offered by Fallout: New Vegas, I didn’t bother picking up either of the first two pieces of downloadable content. Dead Money appeared to focus on aspects of Fallout I didn’t find particularly interesting and Honest Hearts got lost in the shuffle. Old World Blues would have skipped right past my net as wel...[Read More]

Another year is here for NCAA Football, the one sport that can't truly have a 'lockout'. EA Sports has taken this series pretty far with improved graphics and gameplay that keeps it out of the mighty shadow of their beastly Madden franchise. The question is, can they continue this trend? Come find out...

Ever heard of Ballance? It's a puzzle game that came out on the PC several years ago in which players guide ball through a labyrinth rife with traps and platforming gameplay mechanics, with the ultimate goal being to get safely to the other side. Puzzle Dimension from Doctor Entertainment is a lot like that, although with higher quality graphics, less gameplay mechanics, and a lot more sunflowers....[Read More]

I've heard it called one of the greatest games never played. I too was one of those that never got around to playing it, but Ubisoft's 2003 adventure-action classic, Beyond Good And Evil, is giving everyone a second chance with an HD version that is available since March on XBLA and just last week on PSN. The 1.5GB download contains the full game that sees Jade, a photo-journalist and martial arti...[Read More]

Gatling Gears’ PlayStation Network debut had an interesting path to fruition. Released to Xbox Live Arcade nearly two months ago to generally positive reviews (read Nathan Steven’s take), Gatling Gears was due to arrive on PSN shortly thereafter. Due to Sony’s unfortunate global meltdown it was shelved indefinitely. Now it’s finally available for PlayStation 3 owners, and, surprise, fo...[Read More]

While certainly not an improper score, Marvel Pinball sometimes felt better than the 8/10 I bestowed upon it last December. Zen Studio’s digital recreations of a beloved pastime were the closest one could get to the real deal, and filtering their keen eye for authenticity through Marvel’s lens was a near perfect match. If nothing else, it was safe to say Zen Studios had made better use...[Read More]

What might you get when you put three of Japan's finest contemporary game developers in a room? Suda 51 (killer7, No More Heroes), Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil 4), and Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill Composer) recently got together with EA to create a new IP known as Shadows of the Damned. This third person horror action game stars Garcia (F'n) Hotspur, a successful demon hunter from Mexico. So success...[Read More]

Way back in 2002, Gas Powered Games and Microsoft released Dungeon Siege on the PC. A favorite at LAN parties, this four player co-op game had players battling hordes of monsters, sacking all kinds of loot, and generally just having a heck of a time. A sequel and expansion packs followed, but the series has been quiet since late 2006.That's all behind us now though, as Square Enix and Obsidian Ent...[Read More]

Still deeply troubled and wracked by survivor’s guilt, Alice’s hallucinations of Wonderland begin to return mysteriously. Over the course of the game, Alice will travel back and forth between her miserable, impoverished life in Victorian London and the emotional refuge in...[Read More]

F%^&, S#*^, A*#, B*+^%! This tactical, action first person shooter is the latest in the OF series from longtime publisher/developer Codemasters. And while most of this game definitely doesn't live up to the expectations of this subgenre in today's gaming climate, the online co-op experience actually affords a marginal amount of fun.

Yesterday I whipped up some impressions based off of a dozen hours of time spent in New Marais, the coastal town at the center of inFamous 2 which released yesterday. For those of you who aren't familiar with the inFamous series, it's a third person, open world action game with a karma system created by Sucker Punch. You are Cole McGrath, a seemingly ordinary human who discovers supernatural power...[Read More]

When I play this game I imagine Golden Axe III.(that's on the Sega Genesis for you young folk out there)
