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...
CastleStorm
When our Editor in Chief sent me the code for an XBLA title called CastleStorm the name had me intrigued, but also had me wondering what the heck did I get myself in to? After downloading the title I booted it up and was pleasantly surprised to see the Zen...
When Metro 2033 arrived on the scene back in 2010, without much hesitation I gave it a positive review. The immersive storyline, solid visuals and overall sound package stood out for me and I walked away having enjoyed my experience with the game. Sure it wasn’t exactly ‘game of 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...
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...
