  • Rise of the Triad (Review) PC

    Posted by on August 30, 2013 under PC, Reviews
    The PC shooter Rise of the Triad has returned to PC, and despite being a remastered release of the original game, it has remained true to its classic roots. There are no stealth mechanics in this game; you'll find nothing but fast-paced action and insane gunplay. The single-player experience is as old-school as you can get as far as FPS are concerned. The gameplay has remained the same and it f... more.

    Japanese hell shooters have grown in popularity over the years. Deathsmiles is one title that comes to mind for its replay value and knuckle-whitening gameplay. Mamorukun Curse! by UFO Interactive is a direct port of a Sega Naomi coin-op that was originally released in 2008. As one of seven 'chosen' souls sent to the Netherworld to save it from being swallowed up by the World of Darkness, you must... more.
  • Mars: War Logs (Review) Xbox 360

    Posted by on August 14, 2013 under Reviews, Xbox 360
    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.

    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.
