  • This Means War? – Air Conflicts: Vietnam (Review) XBox 360

    Posted by on February 10, 2014 under Reviews, Xbox 360
    I've always been more of the world championship winning, monster slashing kind of gamer. But with that being said, I set aside my "win championships and monster battles, not wars" mentality and gave Air Conflicts: Vietnam by Games Farm and bitComposer Entertainment A.G. a valiant try -- a try that proved to be somewhat disappointing. AC: V is an arcade flight game that is set in the Vietnam Er... more.

In recent weeks, MonkeyPawGames announced a new campaign calle... more.
  • Blood of the Werewolf (Review) PC

    Posted by on January 23, 2014 under PC, Reviews
    Blood of the Werewolf by Scientifically Proven evokes so many emotions that it's difficult to pinpoint them all. It could be that its protagonist, Selena, is a woman scorned by the recent death of her husband and the kidnapping of her son, Nickoli. Selena's family comes from a thinning line of werewolves who have managed to somehow integrate themselves into society, while keeping their full moon c... more.
  • Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut (Review) PC

    Posted by on January 23, 2014 under PC, Reviews

Gamers went to the official Steam forums to complain about in-game glitches that affected gameplay. Some of these glitches include unexplainable crashes and poor performance on high-end gaming rigs. Rising Star Games listened to the... more.
  • Sonic Lost World (Review) Wii U

    Posted by on January 23, 2014 under Reviews, Wii U
    Fans of Sonic the Hedgehog have been waiting for well over two decades to play a Sonic game that is worthy of their nostalgia.

He has partnered up with his arch nemesis, Mario, for the Olympics, and has starred in a handful of self-titled releases for Wii, 3... more.

    Microsoft is determined to make games more interactive with their Kinect peripheral. With the introduction of Kinect 2.0, we were promised a 'smarter' Kinect that could detect the user's heartbeat, monitor  body temperature and even track the person's movements more efficiently, among other features. In retrospect, we were promised a better Kinect experience overall. Fighter Within by Ubisoft ... more.

  • Trine 2: Complete Story (Review) Playstation 4

    Posted by on January 10, 2014 under PS4, Reviews
    Developer Frozenbyte's physic-based puzzle platformer continues to evolve from one platform to another. About a year ago, Trine 2: Director's Cut launched on Nintendo Wii U with features that took advantage of its Gamepad. It was a step in the right direction as most Wii U games completely ignored the Gamepad's touchscreen functionality. Like the Wii U release of Trine 2, Developer Frozenbyte has ... more.
  • OMSI 2 Omnibus Simulator (Review) PC

    Posted by on January 1, 2014 under PC, Reviews
    The OMSI Omnibus Simulator returns for another trip through the congested streets of Berlin. It’s one of the most realistic bus simulators you will ever have the chance of playing, unless you have driven an actual bus that is. OMSI 2 is much like its predecessor with one exception - instead of taking place during the early 1980’s, OMSI 2 takes place in Germany during the late 80’s, early 90�... more.
