The Battlefield franchises has always defined tactical warfare combat on the PC and has now managed to take more then a slice of the pie on the consoles. Bad Company 2 follows up the popular first game in the franchise with lots of changes and improvements that help it stand above others first person shooters. Dice has thrown down the gauntlet at the feet of other shooters that would stand opposed... more.

Heavy Rain is an experiment in game design that succeeds in new and exciting ways for gaming but is also plagued with some very unfortunate flaws. It's not a game in the typical sense as players have only some control over a characters actual movement. The game consists of small exploration segments, quicktime events and some walking around. It doesn't sound like an exciting game, or even ... more.

When the original Bioshock was released in 2007, no one could have expected the level of praise it was destined to receive.  Heralded as one of the best single player experiences in gaming history, the game left some awfully big shoes that would need to be filled with a sequel. Losing some of the talent that helped shaped the original also didn't do any favors to the already high level of skepti... more.

The time has finally come to publish the Everyday Gamers review of Torchlight, and I cannot say enough.  I will try not to repeat all of the information I relayed in my preview of this game, but this has been one of the best rides of the past year. The Story Just to recap a little, Torchlight is a hack-n-slash dungeon crawler by Runic games, the same masterminds behind the first two Diablo ga... more.

I have to admit, I am a faithful supporter of the PixelJunk series. I've been a fan of the games ever since Racers so I'm always excited to see whatever game is going to be next in the series. I had been following PixelJunk Shooter ever since the naming competition a while back and was especially excited about the art direction of the game. PixelJunk Shooter is a game in where you control a spa... more.

Just recently I started craving a good word game. I personally love word games and I've played a few good ones on the iPhone but most of them got old pretty quick. I was considering buying Scrabble but I had heard about this game called "Words With Friends" so I decided to check it out. Words with Friends looks and plays exactly like Scrabble. You have 7 letters which you are to use to make wor... more.

It's no secret that Mass Effect is one of my all time favorite games. BioWare created a universe full of action, intrigue and epic battles that made it one fo the best games ever made, RPG or otherwise. The absolutely powerhouse ending left gamers wanting more and anticipating its sequel. Last week gamers everywhere were able to jump back into that universe with the release of Mass Effect 2. The q... more.

Ever since the release of iDracula and Minigore I've been craving a dual-stick shooter that has a "get from Point A to Point B" style of gameplay. Both of these games are great but they are about survival only, similar to geometry wars you have a set area that you must stay and defend yourself in for as long as you can. I wanted something that let me go through a "level" if you will. Guerrilla ... more.

Salem and Rios are back and this time the platonic pair find themselves stuck in Shanghai when the proverbial crap has hit the fan. The entire city crumbles around the duo and the simple goal of getting out of dodge quickly spirals into large scale fire fights and unexpected moral dilemma's. Rios or Salem, the choice is yours. Just make sure after you pick one, you find a friend to pick the oth... more.

Riding the unheralded success  of Borderlands, Gearbox has released Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot for 10 dollars on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network respectively, as well as the PC. The content offers players an arena to engage in combat with increasingly difficult waves of opponents with ever changing game modes and modifications, but does it satisfy the cravings of Borderland junkies w... more.

I want to be very honest with this review of Rogue Warrior. I played about an hour of it and decided that it was not worth my time to continue. With all the triple A titles that have recently been released I am surprised that Rogue Warrior even made it to stores let alone with a $60 price tag. Games like Rogue Warrior make me wonder if the people who developed the game really even support it. How ... more.

When Left 4 Dead 2 was first announced I was surprised, but I wasn't one of the people planning to boycott the game. Yes, it caught me off guard, but I was excited none-the-less. In my opinion the original L4D was too short and not worth the $60. Yes, it was a really fun game but I didn't think it was a $60 game. Especially if you never play the multiplayer modes. I completed L4D2's campaign ye... more.

Capturing the excitement and thrill of the WWE and translating it into a videogame can be done. But can it be done well? That is the question. WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 tackles that question with a few gameplay tweaks, couple of new match types, and a few creation tools. And while problems are still present in SVR 2010, they really won’t become that troublesome to depart you from its main attra... more.

By now, the name Crysis is a household name.  Anticipation is starting to build for it's sequel that will also be available on consoles, and the reputation Crysis has as a system killer has not faded, even with the advances in computer hardware.  That being said, I thought it would be a good time to look back at Crysis and see how it stacks up, scaled back on older hardware. The Rundown Crysis... more.

With the mixed success of Soul Calibur on the PS3 and the Xbox 360, and the pedigree of good fighting games on the PSP, such as Darkstalkers, Mortal Kombat and Tekken, an iteration of Soul Calibur for the PSP seemed like a slam dunk.  Add in the ability to use Kratos as a playable character right out of the box, and this is a day one purchase to breathe life back into the PSP right?  Apparently ... more.

I have to admit I've been kind of slacking in the iPhone gaming department. I've been so annoyed by how many un-stellar games there are out there that I've given up on trying to find a game worth playing. Most of the top 25 games are just stupid gimmick games. So believe me when I say I was very excited to see that Labyrinth 2 was a game actually worth playing. One of the first games I ever rememb... more.

Spending my life as a self-proclaimed hater of "first person shooters" (FPSs if you're nasty), I have had to re-evaluate my stance on this genre more and more frequently in recent years. I mean, even though I do see the merit in your Halos and your Calls of Duties, I just don't find myself being attracted to these games like most of the people on my friends list are. But every once in a while alon... more.

A horrid disease strikes the land known as the Blorbs. You have never heard of the Blorbs you say well, beware because its not all fun and games. The land searches for a hero. Who knew the hero would be a pair of brothers. Story Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story has an absolutely amazing and certainly unique plot. This kind of story could only make sense in the  the world of the Bros... more.

You know, I was not really interested in Brutal Legend at first. Granted, Tim Schafer is a brilliant game designer, having made games the defy genres and are considered among the best made, even if they did not sell well. It's just that I am not a fan of Jack Black. Sure, he can be funny when he is reigned in, but he often is not, and I figured with the game being M Rated, he would be allowed to r... more.

I remember growing up playing A Boy and His Blob for the NES with my best friend John. We never really got very far in the game but just the fact that they made a game called "A Boy and His Blob" was reason enough to make us play it. It's funny to see that someone has taken the initiative to make a re-make of the title. Ever since it was announced I thought it was a great idea, especially with the... more.
