Ravaged
In my younger days I loved the Mad Max movie franchise. I loved the rough and raw feel of the post-apocalyptic action films. Not to mention I always got a kick out of those crazy Road Warrior vehicles. So when Ravaged for the PC dropped into my lap, the mere...
007 Legends
Bond is back! Activision has released 007 Legends to the masses. This latest game to bear the 007 insignia is based on five “classic” Bond films from the 50-year history of Bond movies. Having enjoyed previous Bond games such as Quantum of Solace, Blood Stone, and last year’s GoldenEye: Reloaded,...
As for the game play, which is probably the game’s strongest element, every level offers slightly different objectives. In the “Main Log” you play mostly as Luffy and occasionally you’ll take control of other companions as you progress. You spend most of the time dashing through the levels throwing yourself...
As I mentioned at the outset, XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a turn-based game and is nothing like the other XCOM game that remains in development since 2006. For those of you who are not acquainted with turned based games, they are games that are exactly what the genre states. You...
Throughout the 1990’s it sometimes felt like I spent half my time in the arcades, and after the success of Street Fighter II, there was a ton of fighters to play. New games were plenty with Capcom leading the charge. But what could make a 2D fighter more interesting? How...
Dead or Alive 5 is the first DOA game to receive a multi-platform launch since Dead or Alive 2 and expectations are somewhat high. Most gamers have a preconceived idea of what content they should expect in a Dead or Alive game, and this one sticks to its roots as...
Among these great brawlers, it could be argued that no single game has defined the genre we know and love more then Double Dragon, a game about the Lee brothers Billy and Jimmy, traditional martial artists fighting tirelessly through gangs of thugs and degenerates to rescue their kidnapped mutual love...
F1 2012
Being the zenith of the motorsports racing world, F1 sports the highest performing and most complex race cars in the world while putting race drivers under conditions where they must endure forces of over 4.5G’s. Understanding the sport’s extreme technical nature can be a daunting task. One of Codemasters Racing’s...
Back in 2011 Hello Games released a small gem called Joe Danger. It was based on a bike riding daredevil who travelled across crazy courses, racking in points and doing stunts. Joe Danger’s fresh, cool visuals and fun gameplay took many by surprise. Now Joe is back with Joe Danger...
NHL 13
I figured I would delve right into how this new version of our great sport handles. Right off the hop I found that NHL 13 feels tighter and easier to control then previous releases in the series, and the older games control pretty well too. I love how the Xbox...
Papo & Yo
One of the highlights of gaming’s latest trends involves the rise of the indie-game. Indie-game developers tend to dive into waters that many mainstream game developers are afraid to dip their toes in. Many Indie games remind me of early Nintendo games, with their strange concepts and odd story lines. ...
Risen 2: Dark Waters strives to deliver something we really haven’t seen before, an open-world pirate RPG that tempts players with the allure of a fully realized swashbuckling fantasy. Given that the developers of Risen 2 have chosen a pirate theme, it has a unique advantage over other open-world RPG...
