  • Review: Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege (Xbox One)

    Posted by on January 3, 2016 under Reviews, Xbox One
    Like Battlefield and Call of Duty, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series has been entertaining console and PC gamers alike for well over a decade. But unlike the competition (which uses fast-paced gameplay and quick respawn times), Rainbow Six Siege for Xbox One uses a slow, tactical approach to the gunplay that causes hearts to race and tensions to run high. The game also uses a punishing, 'once you're... more.

    Posted by on January 3, 2016 under Reviews, Xbox One
    Brian Fargo is known for a laundry list of ionic game franchises that have appeared on a variety of platforms, including the popular Apple II and Commodore 64. His earlier efforts - Demon's Forge and Mindshadow (both popular text-based adventures) - were the precursors to his more popular games (i.e. Bard's Tale, Wasteland, etc.).

    Posted by on November 6, 2015 under PS4, Reviews
    BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend for PlayStation 4 is essentially the same game as BlazBlue: Chronophantasma, which was released last year on PlayStation 3 by Aksys Games. What separates this release from its predecessor, though, is a myriad of updates that include additional DLC, the reintroduction of a character, and a new story that focuses on the events of Blazblue: Remix Heart (i.e. named Remi... more.

  • Review: Tembo The Badass Elephant (Playstation 4)

    Posted by on November 6, 2015 under PS4, Reviews
    Tembo The Badass Elephant is a quirky 2D side-scroller that combines the blazing speed of Sonic The Hedgehog and the gameplay elements of many notable titles from the genre (i.e. Alien Hominid, Metal Slug etc.). But unlike the games that came before it, Tembo takes a light-hearted approach to the fast-paced, military carnage it portrays, as you control the elephant protagonist through seventeen le... more.
  • Review: Warhammer 40,000 – Legacy of Dorn – Herald of Oblivion (iOS)

    Until recently, developer Tin Man Games was best known for their efforts in bringing the Fighting Fantasy series - a largely popular series of role-playing books co-published by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone during the early to late 1980s - on various Android and iOS devices. Like the books they represented, the gameplay was rather straight-forward -- you would read through the story; roll ... more.

    It was just a matter of time before Xbox gamers received a remastered version of Gears of War. Since HD collections and remasters are so popular these days, it's surprising it took this long for The Coalition to release Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Xbox One. Like its Xbox 360 counterpart, Ultimate Edition for Xbox One reminds us why Gears of War was such a great series -- it didn't focus ... more.
