Years ago, I fondly remember playing through the Serious Sam games from Croteam at LAN parties with friends. A few months ago, Serious Sam: The First Encounter was re-released with "HD" inserted into its name, meaning it had spruced up graphics and new features. Now, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter has made its way to Steam and XBLA for FPS fans to enjoy. Is the $20 price tag worth it? Let's ...[Read More]

Last year, one of my favorite surprise hits and overall most enjoyable PSN game was Shatter from Sidhe Interactive. Previously available only on the PSN, Shatter has expanded its horizons, and available modes, to encompass the PC market thanks to Steam. The PC version also includes Endless/Endless Co-Op and Time Attack/Time Attack Co-op that add to an already enjoyable experience. For the most par...[Read More]

Aspiring hotel moguls or fans of The Sims might want to give Hotel Giant 2 a look. Developed by Nobilis and published by Southpeak Interactive, Hotel Giant 2 will let you build and manage the hotel of your dreams with a plethora of options and an intense amount of micro management. The subject matter is niche enough, but the tedium of constant management made this one tough to enjoy. I'm not a fan...[Read More]

Get your stuff on.

  Twin Sector is a first person puzzle solving game developed by DnS Development that definitely takes its cues from Portal. I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but this low-budget imitation from production value to game play is far from flattering.

Serious Sam was all about fighting against what seemed endless hordes of enemies. Once you’re done with the first wave, you catch your breath, find power ups and do it all over again. Even way back in 2001, this style of game play in a first person shooter was starting to wane as squad based, class selection player vs. player became the status of quo. So here we are, 9 years later with a HD update...[Read More]

Having already beaten the Playstation 3 Dragon Age: Origins, I felt compelled to try out and review the Collector's Edition from EA on the Macintosh. Is there much of a difference or was it more of the same? Read on....

Tower defense games, we've all played them at work, during class or at home when we're bored out of our mind. Prior to the days of free flash based tower defense games, you had to shell out your hard earned money for them on the PC. The Stronghold games have much more going for it then having your men defend a castle from wave after wave of enemy soldiers. Since all the Stronghold games have simil...[Read More]

If you're not familiar with the Left 4 Dead series, where have you been? The first Left 4 Dead was a survival horror FPS that that fitted 4 four players against hordes of zombies that could be played cooperatively or competitively (4 other players on the "infected team"). Left 4 Dead 2 takes the same gameplay mechanics as its predecessor, but is there enough there to warrant spending another fifty...[Read More]

Star Wars: The force Unleashed The Ultimate Sith Edition follows the story of Darth Vader's apprentice, Starkiller. Starkiller is given the task to hunt down Vader's enemies. The game takes place in between episodes III and IV where you get to visit some familiar locations in 9 missions (3 new missions in the Ultimate Sith Edition for a total of 12). Along with new missions you get the option to...[Read More]

The PC platform is infested with MMO's and RTS games as it seems these two genres don't translate well to consoles. So the developers behind Worldshift mixed the two genres in a blender for an experience that seems all too familiar for anyone that has played an RTS in the past decade or so.

An expansion pack that expands the definition
