  • Orc Attack (Review) Xbox 360

    Posted by on November 8, 2013 under Reviews, Xbox 360
    Opportunities to play as an orc come few and far between for me, so naturally I jumped at such the chance when I got my hands on "Orc Attack" by Casual Brothers and GameMil Entertainment.  But what I thought was going to be a good laughing gas adventure, turned out to being just hot air. In this hack-and-slash fart-fest, OA introduces you to four playable Orcs - Doc Turd, Lord Poop, Friar Krap... more.
  • Good Girls Gone Ugh! Girl Fight (Review) Xbox 360

    Posted by on November 8, 2013 under Reviews, Xbox 360
    In the world of fighting games, one would think that an all-female fighter would sound appealing, right?  Well, for "Girl Fight" by Kung Fu Factory and Majesco Entertainment, I'd say not so much. In this combo-driven babe brawler, GF invites players to follow the paths of eight fightin' females with psychic abilities, who battle each other within a secret government research facility known as ... more.

    Posted by on October 30, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    The latest addition to Sega's longest running franchise has finally launched on Steam. Different from the previous releases in the series, Total War: Rome II picks up most of its traits from the 'Fall of the Samurai' series that was released a few years back. If you are familiar with Shogun 2 or any of its DLC, you will find Total War: Shogun II to your liking.  One thing about the Total War seri... more.
  • AiRace Speed (Review) Nintendo 3DS

    Posted by on October 30, 2013 under Portables, Reviews
    Tunnel racing games usually receive a lukewarm reception due to their lack of content and replay value. AiRace Speed by QubicGames manages to produce a challenging experience without using the on-rail gameplay that has plagued games like it in the past. AiRace Speed includes eighteen levels that unlock as you progress through the game. The gameplay is relatively simple as you pilot a spacecraft... more.
  • If A Certain Blue Bombin’ ‘Bot Was More Like A Heavy Metal Slug – “A.R.E.S.” Review (XBox 360)

    Posted by on October 21, 2013 under Reviews, Xbox 360
    It's not very often that I get to play a game these days that features some old school robot-blastin' fun, and when I first started playing "A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda EX" by Extend Studio and Aksys Games, right away I knew I was going to be in for a treat and a nice lil' trip down metal memory lane of sorts. A.R.E.S. is a guns-a-blazin' (yet brief) thrill ride of a sci-fi side scroller that d... more.
  • The King of Fighters XIII Steam Edition (Review) PC

    Posted by on October 18, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    The King of Fighters XIII is everything its predecessor should have been and more. The game includes a hefty roster of fighters, a story mode and a boss battle that ends the story arc from KOF XI (something that was absent from KOF XII). Moreover, SNK-PLAYMORE decided to replace the Guard Attack, the Critical Counter, and the Clash System with new features (more on this in a moment). KOF XIII c... more.
  • Rise of Venice (Review) PC

    Posted by on October 18, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    Rise of Venice is the latest trading simulator by developer Kalypso. Its gameplay is based on the same concept as Port Royal and Patrician, which are two popular series from the genre. The only difference between Rise of Venice and the other games mentioned is where the game takes place. Instead of occurring on the Caribbean coast, you are located on the European coastline of Venice. Just about ev... more.

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above questions, then Zoo Park is definitely one title you will want to check out. Zoo Park is a different take on the Tycoon Simulator series.

  • Memoria (Review) PC

    Posted by on October 9, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    Memoria is an old-school point-and-click adventure that is similar to classic adventure games such as Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion. The game is very straightforward, and like all point-and-click games, it requires good puzzle solving skills. You play as two characters who are not directly connected, but are involved in stories separated by five hundred years. The game switches between chara... more.
