  • Dark (Review) Xbox 360 – A Whole Different Kind Of ‘Bat Man’

    Posted by on August 3, 2013 under Reviews, Xbox 360
    Before we get started on this review, I'd like to see a show of hands, gamers -- who here would love nothing more than to assume the role of the ultimate nocturnal assassin -the vampire?  Then you're in luck, because that's exactly what you get to do here in Dark, by Realmforge Studios and Kalypso Media. Dark is a stealth-action RPG-ish thriller of a tale, that puts you in the role of Eric Ban... more.
  • Lords of Football (Review) PC

    Posted by on August 3, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    Lords of Football offers a fresh perspective on the football management genre by giving you complete control over your entire team. Very similar to the Football Manager series, Lords of Football includes a micromanagement system that allows you to interact with your teammates. This is going to sound clichéd, but the micromanagement portion of the game is a lot like playing EA's The Sims. Aside... more.
  • Discouraged By The Scourge…. Scourge: Outbreak (Review) Xbox 360

    Posted by on August 3, 2013 under Reviews, Xbox 360
    I have a new riddle for you, fellow gamers:  What would happen if you were to cram Gears Of War, add a Crysis-like feel to it , and top it off with a very slight touch of Mass Effect, and then just slap it all together into a sci-fi third-person shooter that's highly reminiscent of watching a SyFy Network "original movie"?  Well, if you were to guess that you'd end up with Scourge: Outbreak by T... more.
  • Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Edition (Review) PC

    Posted by on July 24, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Edition is a retro-style role-playing game; it’s unlike anything ever released before. It plays like a game of pen and paper Dungeons and Dragons with a group of friends during a weekend get-together. The quests are straightforward; they give you the option to select from a handful of linear options. The different quests available include Merchant, Escorts, Slay a ... more.
  • Muramasa Rebirth (Review) PS Vita

    Posted by on July 24, 2013 under Portables, Reviews
    Originally available for Nintendo Wii, Muramasa redefined the 2D action role-playing genre with its demon blade weapon system and mind-blowing visuals. Muramasa Rebirth for PS Vita is essentially the same game that retains all the knuckle-whitening gameplay of the original, while also maintaining the core mechanics that made its predecessor a success. As either the demon possessed princess Momohim... more.
  • Expeditions: Conquistador (Review) PC

    Posted by on July 23, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    Expeditions: Conquistador is unlike anything currently available on Steam. It offers a colonial, Neopolitan setting that has never been experienced in a strategy game before. It relies heavily on strategy and uses a turn-based system like most games in the genre.  Plus, it includes a robust story that will have you immersed for hours. Conquistador is absolutely brilliant; its micromanagement s... more.
  • Pro Cycling Manager 2013 (Review) PC

    Posted by on July 8, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    The highly anticipated Pro Cycling Manager 2013 has finally arrived and it’s very similar to the Football Manager series. You have full control over your teams and their choices via the micromanaging commands. There are plenty of real licensed teams and sponsors to choose from (much like the 2012 release of Pro Cycling Manager). Pro Cycling Manager 2013 includes a polished interface that is c... more.
  • Limbo (Review) PSVita

    Posted by on July 8, 2013 under Portables, Reviews
    The nameless boy who searches for his sister on the edge of Hell is finally available for the PS Vita. Known for its brilliant and sometimes morbid puzzles, Limbo redefined the 2D platform genre with its horror-style monochromatic black and white graphics and Silent Hill-style film grain effects. The PS Vita release is a straight port of the original game with no additional features or touchscr... more.
  • The Forest of Doom (Review) iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad

    Posted by on July 8, 2013 under Portables, Reviews
    Originally written by Ian Livingstone, The Forest of Doom is the third book in a series of paperback role-playing games called, 'The Fighting Fantasy Series'. These books were similar to 'Choose Your Own Adventures', but they offered the reader more flexibility by allowing them to build a character (i.e. by rolling dice to determine stamina, skill and luck), collect items and store them in a handw... more.
  • Call of Juarez: Gunslinger (Review) PC

    Posted by on June 30, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    Call of Juarez is back with another extraordinary sequel. Unlike the previous game, Gunslinger returns the series to its lawless Wild West roots when Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett were outlaws. The game follows the same premise as the original Call of Juarez and Bound in Blood by serving up large doses of action and plenty of one-on-one duels. Gunslinger offers an authentic first-person experie... more.
