Tomb Raider
The origin story of the sleek, sultry, ass-kicking Lady Croft has been in need of telling since we were first introduced to the short shorts wearing tomb raider over a decade ago. As fun as it’s been travelling to ancient ruins across the globe taking down hordes of hunters, mercenaries...
Sci-fi shooters have borrowed elements from the Alien movies for as long as I can remember. Gearbox’s Alien: Colonial Marines started off looking like it had potential. Unfortunately, the final product leaves much to be desired. The game feels empty, clunky and dated. Initially, there was much promise in the...
Who the heck is Sly Cooper? These were the words uttered to me by my 15-year-old son when I told him I was reviewing the latest in the Sly Cooper franchise. Not too hard to believe considering it’s been a long 8 years since we’ve seen anything new from the...
Dead Space 3
The Marker-corrupted creatures, many of whom we’ve seen before in the previous installments, bring numerous new tactics to the table this time around. The Necromorphs and their appearance on the planet of Tau Volantis breathe new life into the game’s alien slaying combat. Being that Tau Volantis is covered in...
Playing Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a bit like looking through an open window to my past and witnessing my earlier years as a young gamer. A window that I’ve long forgotten about and haven’t stopped to peer through in a very long time. In returning...
With the fervor of the holiday season well in the rearview mirror gamers everywhere have hit a bit of a dry spell. There has been very little in the way of new and exciting games over the past two months or so. Sure there has been some fantastic DLC for...
Anarchy Reigns
With a forced blend of single player action and multiplayer carnage, Sega and Platinum Games give us their arena brawler Anarchy Reigns. Undoubtedly the focus of this title is the 16 player absolute chaos that is the multiplayer, but the game forces you to slog through one of the most...
Little Inferno
During the Christmas holiday season have you ever watched “The Holiday Yule Log” on TV and think “Hey, that would make a fantastic game”? I didn’t think so, but Tomorrow Corporation saw potential for fun in those flickering flames. Surprisingly they have developed something truly special in a game called...
When J. R. R. Tolkien dared to imagine an epic tale of a small, unassuming Hobbit getting roped into a realm wide struggle between the forces of light and darkness, a creature who would become the central figure in an unlikely fellowship charged with a task that would decide the...
To say that the Call of Duty franchise took some heat last year would be an understatement. Despite record-breaking sales and some positive praise from the media, Activision was criticized for pumping out yet another yearly entry in the franchise that many considered unchanged. Much of the criticism originated from...
Before I get to everything that is new to the franchise, let me just go over some basics for those of you who have no idea how Dance Central 3 works. It is essentially a dance rhythm game that plays out in similar fashion to Konami’s Dance Dance Revolution. The...
Forza Horizon
One of the first things gamers will notice is that Forza Horizon actually has a story. Yep, Forza brings a narrative to the game. In a nutshell, you enter the Horizon Festival event, which is a combination of music, parties, and of course racing. During your pursuit to win this...
