For those who know me well enough -- and even those who don't -- know just how much I enjoy a good puzzler, especially if it's one that's unlike any other I've ever played before. And this is exactly where Ty Taylor and Mario Castaneda's creative creation, "The Bridge" comes in.  Just when I started thinking to myself just how different could this game possibly be, I quickly changed my tune the v... more.

For someone such as myself who really appreciates a good nod to throwback classics from the days of yore, naturally I was mighty excited to sink my gaming claws into the 360 version of "Painkiller: Hell & Damnation" by The Farm 51 and Nordic Games GmbH. And I'll tell you - what an action-packed thrill ride thriller this title turned out to be. P: H&D is actually based on the first "Painki... more.

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.

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.

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.

Ok, my fellow gamers - I have a new question to ask you. Who (besides myself, obviously) has had a case of deja vu, especially if it's of an unbelievable, surprising game that you haven't played in ages?  Enter "Marlow Briggs" for the XBox 360, an excellent entry from Zootfly and 505 Games that pays a very nice homage to a certain war god. MB is a masterpiece that's chock full of over-the-top... more.

I pose an interesting question, fellow gamers - how many of us hero types (such as myself) wondered what it would be like to help save the world on a totally different planet other than Earth or some other other worldly place for a change?  Well, that's what the fine folks at Spiders and Focus Home Interactive aim to find out also, with their sci-fi RPG, "Mars: War Logs" for the 360. M: WL is ... more.

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.

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.
