For the first couple hours, Dead Space 3 is nearly perfect: a tremendous blend of varied experiences in the haunting emptiness of derelict ships. However, as the story trudges towards its conclusion — which is completely absurd, by the way — it starts to lose steam. The enemy encounters become...
The Cave embodies a lot of what we love about classic adventure games. It combine's Double Fine's whimsical oddness and Ron Gilbert's talent into a game that is fun to play, but fails to live up to the full potential of the people behind it. It is exceptionally easy and too often...
There is a lot offered in DmC: Devil May Cry. From multi-dimensional characters, a deeper storyline, a revamped and refined battle system, and beautiful art direction; this is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best Devil May Cry to date. Skeptics should abandon their prejudices and give this one...
By no means is Anarchy Reigns a bad or "broken" game, it just comes across as a title where aspiration and execution never quite meet. Ultimately, there's enough here that fans of brawlers or Platinum Games' previous work will find Anarchy Reigns to be a moderately enjoyable, but not all...
Double Fine is so convinced that Kinect Party will strike a chord with families of all ages (not to mention family gatherings over the holidays) that they're offering it for free from now until December 31. That's a marketing strategy we'd like to see more of, and there's no better...
It's not really fair to penalize Skylanders Giants for failing to be the Toy Story 3 of video games, but it's only because what Toys for Bob has achieved is so good to start with that we want even more from them. There's always next time, but until then, Skylanders...
In spite of some underwhelming design choices and noticeable disconnects between the ModNation and LittleBigPlanet union, Karting is actually pretty easy to recommend for fans of the kart racing subgenre. All of the usual pitfalls are present (cheap AI, limited multiplayer modes, etc) which means the title will still frustrate...
Konami has done a good job refining some key areas in Pro Evolution Soccer - the tactical AI, in-depth controls and trick system provide some rigorous entertainment. However, it's getting hard to conceal the wrinkles in aging singleplayer and multiplayer modes, and the lack of graphical improvements and animations is...
Moreover, the decision to faithfully adapt Peter Jackson's trilogy — including specific lines of dialogue from all principal actors involved — results in a game that isn't silly enough to be across the board funny and isn't reverent enough that LOTR fans won't find the game's tone awkward and slightly...
Despite a few odd omissions like the ability to go prone, holster a weapon or drag a dropped body, Far Cry 3 is a near-perfect example of what shooters are capable of on the current-gen platforms. There are a solid 30 hours of single-player fun in this game that redefine the franchise...
Overall, Scribblenauts Unlimited is without a doubt the best installment in the series to date. With the ability to completely customize almost everything, there's almost no limit to what gamers will be able to create. A few of the missions can cause some frustration and bombing through the tasks will...
Anyone who invests in the PS3 game will also score a digital copy of the Vita version for free, making it a worthwhile deal for game-hungry portable aficionados. Superbot Entertainment and Sony have managed to create something that gamers will be playing with friends for quite some time to come,...
