Mars: War Logs
Mars: War Logs, previously only available to PC gamers, makes the jump onto consoles with not much changed and sadly not much improved. That’s not to say that you can’t find some good in this title if you can accept it for what it is. It’s a budget level western...
Many who enjoy the thrill of action and war in video games will head towards the newest and most popular first person shooters, but there are others who enjoy the more tactical options that the real time strategy genre offers. Company of Heroes 2 by Relic Entertainment is a fine...
Marvel Heroes
Comics were always a big factor in my life. I had quite a fondness for the Marvel Universe in particular, with its wide assortment of heroes and villains. Monthly, I would collect various comic books, watch the many animated shows, and even tried my hand at drawing some of the...
Sanctum 2
The original Sanctum caught many people off guard with its unique combination of mechanics. It took the strategy based aspects of tower defense games and fused it together with the excitement of first-person shooter action to create an unforgettable experience. Sanctum 2 retains what made the original fun to play...
The Last of Us
Last year at E3, Naughty Dog’s “The Last of Us” was my undisputed most memorable game from the show. Despite not even getting my hands on the game while on the show floor, and only watching the demo from the cheap seats at the Sony E3 Press Conference where “The...

Six months ago Arkane released their stealth action adventure Dishonored on the world. It enjoyed strong sales and critical acclaim, receiving a score of 85 from our own MRBIGCAT along with multiple “Best Action Game” awards. What better way to follow up that success than by unleashing some story expanding...
Defiance
Defiance officially launched last week and as seems to be the way with most online game releases, it’s been unstable and difficult to get a solid play session in with the shaky servers being a problem area. As the launch date passed, and some time went by, Defiance’s servers have...
There is no question the original BioShock game was a spectacular achievement in visual design, story-telling and gameplay. In many ways it was unlike anything I had played before and when I reflect on the game it is clear it has inspired many other games over the years including Bethesda’s...
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is the fourth installment in the Ultimate Ninja Storm series. The manga series has been in the spotlight for years now, and has a huge following. Ninja Storm 3 has reverted back to the formula of the first two games, moving away from what...
I feel that first and foremost I need to point out that I love playing the stealth angle in games. Also, despite my poor aim, I love sneaking in slow and sniping foes off from a distance while I stay safely in the shadows. Keeping that in mind it would...
