The game may have been looked to as another revolutionary physics masterpiece from the mind behind Portal, but the result is far more approachable to both fans of platforming in general, and those who adored the spiritual predecessor. Either way, the experience is one that either group will absolutely want...
As it stands, it's difficult to recommend the game when so many other properties on both downloadable platforms offer much more fine-tuned and satisfying experiences for a similar price. The basics aren't poorly made or insulting, in fact, the artistic design never becomes unpleasing to look at. But the window...
Risen 2 is a RPG that, despite its technical limitations, offers surprisingly addictive gameplay and provides a fun ride for those who are fans of pirate lore. Upon starting the game, I had some serious concerns, but the combat, exploration, and story kept me entertained throughout. It's not the most polished...
Bloodforge is a single player game, but there is a competitive element present. Using the Blood Duel feature, players can challenge one another to beat high scores in certain sections of the game. Challenges are also available to create and participate in, i.e. players participate in a wave-completion arena event with...
Fez
Fez is not a perfect game by any means. The map, as mentioned, could use some tweaking and there are some hitches as well as occasional slow-down when transitioning from one area to the next. In all likelihood, players will get lost, confused, and even a bit stumped (in a...
Kinect: Star Wars is a game that fails where we thought it would succeed, and succeeds where we thought it would fail. Pod Racing and Dancing offer the most fun players will likely have in the game, while the campaign is dull and uninspired - and suffers from terrible control...
Graphics and sound are very impressive for a XBLA game. Voice acting is performed well and adds to the experience. The story is, at times, campy but, when looking at the overall plot of the game, the dialogue fits. Alien spacecraft debris has landed in Baghdad and Tokyo and 14th...
There’s something to be said for the concept of Armored Core V. Even though From Software’s design structure will practically force players’ hands into multiplayer roles, it serves to highlight the best of what the game has to offer — a clan-based, omnipresent competition where multiplayer battle creates its own...
The strongest argument in favor of Rayman 3 HD is that it offers a lot of content for its $10 dollar price-tag. It's a long game (Ubisoft estimates 15 to 20 hours), made even longer thanks to bonus games that include everything from an old-school 2D platforming level to a...
In the end Blades of Time is an underwhelming and unpolished experience with frustrating game mechanics that aren't nearly as interesting as the idea behind them. It's hard to recommend this game to anyone, especially given the far superior titles on the market that inspired Blades of Time and its...
Silent Hill Downpour is, in essence, a haunting and engrossing game, but one that's ultimately brought down by its technical faults. The game would be much easier to recommend if the framerate issues weren't scarier than the monsters, but it's still worth checking out. When all is said is done,...
Unfortunately, the tower defense genre of games doesn't make the translation well to a console. Tower defense fans might be better off sticking to playing Tiny Tower on their mobile device, instead of spending the money to play a tower defense game that demands a lot of time - and offers...
