Myst
Myst on the PlayStation Portable is actually a good port, despite the load times and the occasional consternation with the controls. The refashioned visuals for the higher resolution widescreen look nice but without completely ditching the classic PC/Mac look, which has its charm; although, it would have been nice to...
Trials HD
Anyone that's been looking for a modern day Excitebike need look no further. Trials HD is packed with arcade thrills and inventive tests of skill. The first half really gives you a rush as you careen down rollercoaster tracks and pull off wild stunts. Later levels can...
The game’s ugly as sin but it at least has a fun design to fall back upon – G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is an energetic DS game that’s a cool, simplistic diversion. If you’re a fan of blowing crap to high heaven, this game will be right up...
Little King’s Story misses the boat in a few key areas for me personally – the largest of which is the lack of IR pointing in a game specifically based around real-time strategy elements – but at the end of the day there’s no denying that this title has serious...
This newest film works its magic amongst the best of the series.
Fuel
After putting in numerous hours with Fuel, I've struggled to find anything that I especially like about it. The racing has issues, but in and of itself (outside of not being able to select a ride you might want), it works well enough. Not great, but well enough. If you...
I love that we can download great looking first-person shooters that support 24 players online these days. Battlefield 1943 is an impressive package that sets a new standard for digital titles. You won't find anything new in terms of gameplay, but the seven-year old Battlefield formula remains a lot of...
As a prequel, Bound in Blood does a good job of presenting the characters, their storylines and what eventually leads back into the franchise history. It also packs in a ton of fast action, loads of explosions and a heavy dose of duels against opponents that want to take you...
I've been reviewing various versions of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for the past week. The PS3/360/PC version was only passable (though the online is fun), while the Wii/PS2 version was pretty bad. However, the PSP game easily takes the cake as the worst of the bunch, far and away....
Overlord II is a sequel that is neither bigger nor better than its predecessor. The size and scope have been dialed back to something that is more akin to a straight action game. And since none of the frustrating elements of the first have been fixed -- namely the camera,...
The amount of enjoyment you’ll get out of Ghostbusters really depends on how well you take the good with the bad. Red Fly Studio obviously put a lot of heart into the game, and while the concepts, script, engine, graphical efforts, depth, RPG elements, and humor all work great, there...
Rocket Riot
Rocket Riot is simple arcade fun candy coated with brilliant pixel art. The destructible environments allow for some highly enjoyable chaos in both single- and multiplayer modes. Dual-stick shooters have risen in popularity in recent years, and this one has enough personality and charm to set it apart...
