  • Divinity: Dragon Commander (Review) PC

    Posted by on September 13, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    Divinity: Dragon Commander is not your standard role-playing game. Part real-time strategy, part trading card game, you take on the role of a Dragon Commander who is a fierce opponent in battle.  The game is a combination of combat as well as strategy on the ‘Tactical Overview’ (i.e. world map). There are three phases - strategy, RTS and role-playing (as I like to call them respectively). ... more.
  • Space Hulk (Review) PC

    Posted by on September 13, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    The classic Commodore Amiga game, Space Hulk, is finally available for Windows PC. Released in the early 1990’s, Space Hulk was a sci-fi, first-person role-playing game similar to Dungeon Master by developer FTL.

  • Do Not Fall (Review) Playstation 3

    Posted by on September 6, 2013 under PS3, Reviews
    Do Not Fall is a cute action puzzle game where you play as Pipi - an adorable, long eared rabbit on a mission to mix various drinks for your pleasure. The game is seen from a top-down perspective like Bomberman and each level is suspended in the air with no safeguards. The levels in 'Mineral Water' -  the first of seven drink worlds -  is spent learning the controls and game mechanics. Each l... more.

  • Time and Eternity (Review) Playstation 3

    Posted by on August 30, 2013 under PS3, Reviews
    Time and Eternity is not your typical role-playing game. On the surface, the game appears to be a dating simulation with high production values. The sprites are actual illustrations; they are animated with great care. There is also an overabundance of high quality voice acting. As the story unfolds, however - you realize that Time and Eternity is an action RPG that places you in the role of a youn... more.
