It is a tough job to take a game that was not so well received and be brave enough to make the decision to try a sequel. The original Kane and Lynch: Dead Men was plagued with issues, everything from control problems to bad aiming and cover mechanics. I must say after picking up Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days on release day I am pleasantly surprised. The game still does have its share of issues but ... more.

Singularity tackles the story arc of what if this nation had this tech at this point in time, and how would that change today's history? There's nothing new there as this plot can be seen in the movie Hellboy, the game Wolfenstein, and so on. So what does Singularity do that separates it from the other first person shooters out there? Singularity has a unique atmosphere and an unexpected series of... more.

Remember in my Summer of Arcade article where I said I was looking forward to Monday Night Combat more than any of the other games coming out, including Hydro Thunder Hurricane? The only problem with the game was the timing of the release; having just picked up StarCraft II, I thought I was going to have a hard time playing enough of Uber Entertainment's XBLA offering to give it a proper review an... more.

Every once in a while a game will come along that I don't know much about but I take a leap of faith and buy it. I had seen a screenshot of Helsing's Fire on another website and the art style had me very interested so I decided to drop the measly $0.99 and buy it. I've never come across a game like this before in my life and I think that's great because it shows that developers are still innova... more.

Have you ever had a dream that felt so real but you couldn't remember it enough to explain it?  That's kind of how my experience felt while playing Limbo.  The masterminds behind the eerie world that is Limbo, are a company called "Playdead" who is based out of Copenhagen, Denmark.  While this may be the teams first project together, it definitely does not show.  Playdead is now a studio that ... more.

We've been waiting a very long time for Alan Wake. Heralded as a corner stone of Microsoft's original IP, Alan Wake has appeared and reappeared on the radar of gamers so many times that most didn't believe when a firm release date was set. Well rest your weary heads because Alan Wake has been released to the public and we can all finally experience was Remedy studios have been crafting all these y... more.

Bizarre Creations has been hard at work at trying to recreate the popular "Power-up" gameplay in there latest project BLUR.  While many comparisons ring true about Mario Kart, BLUR isn't just a quick knock off but instead a much deeper experience in certain areas.  BLUR's environments screams chaos, and if you didn't know by now the name of the game is to strike your opponents with as many power... more.

I had never really played a Western video game prior to Red Dead Redemption, partially because of their infrequency and partially because I lacked the interest in a genre that seemed like it wouldn't hold up as well as the familiar sci-fi and post apocalyptia that dominated the landscape. Compared with the creativity of weapons and enemies afforded by genres spawned exclusively by the artist... more.

As I have mentioned before, I am not a huge racing game fan. While there have been some games that have really caught my attention, I do not tend to anticipate them or even consider buying them on their release date. I did not even buy Burnout Paradise when it came out, and I was a huge fan of the previous game in the series. Why am I starting this review this way? I wanted you to understand ju... more.

I've been looking forward to ModNation Racers ever since it was announced at E3. Originally I thought it was supposed to be a PSN downloadable title but I guess I was wrong. ModNation Racers is basically Mario Kart on the PS3 but with loads of customization. You can customize your characters, your karts, and also build tracks. The options while creating are endless too. As you probably would have ... more.

Tired of the same old base building RTS mechanics?  Majesty 2 resurrects an old classic and blows RTS trends out of the water with a great fantasy setting and an interesting twist on the genre.  Our review is apologetically, long overdue, but we get down and dirty in Ardania to defend the throne. The Story Majesty 2 unfolds half a century later than the original.  The lands have been unit... more.

Lucasarts takes force manipulation to blistering new heights in this game meant to bridge the gap between trilogies and reveal a secret apprentice of Darth Vader.  Ok, so Force Unleashed force jumped onto consoles long ago, but the much awaited PC port, with all the DLC splashed down last holiday season, and we will see if it does the platform justice, or should be tossed in the Sarlacc pit. The... more.

Fat Princess was a silent hit on the PS3.  It took a "cutesy" art-style and it added some blood and it became a slightly mature multiplayer title. Fat Princess was a PSN title priced at $15.00. I was pretty excited for Fat Princess as it had a really cool multiplayer aspect that we've never seen before. The main mode is to capture the princess, this is a lot like capture the flag but there is a t... more.

Sam Fisher is finally back in the saddle. He has cut his emo hair and thrown his night vision goggles aside. You're hunting people that need to be hunted and taking out anyone who stands in your way, no messing around. It's out with the old and in with the new, gameplay that is. It's Splinter Cell on steroids. It's shoot first and neck snap later. You might still crawl on the pipes and shoot out s... more.

Pure: the racing game that made people take Blackrock Studios, and by proxy Disney Interactive Studios, seriously. You remember the game, right? Racing on quads, doing stunts to gain points and boost.... Pure put Balckrock on the map and made many people's list of overlooked games in 2008. Well, Blackrock and Disney are back. This time, though, its not about doing tricks; it's about taking your... more.

Last year Uncharted 2 was on a lot of people's Game Of The Year list, and rightfully so.  The game is obviously more well known for its amazing cinematic single player and Indiana Jones like story telling.  But the Multiplayer surprised a lot of people that were uncertain that it could work, and Naughty Dog has done a great job supporting the online with quality DLC. The Siege expansion pack ... more.

"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball.  I'll tell you what I do.  I stare out the window and wait for spring".-Rogers Hornsby That's one of my favorite baseball quotes, and as were into another season Sony Computer Entertainment has another baseball game for us and this years is better than ever. Gameplay The best thing about The Show in my opinion is it's life like gam... more.

Vengeance is pretty much the only thing on Kratos mind. You can probably guess what he is going to do to the Greek gods he holds accountable for the death of his wife and child. It's going to involve a lot of shouting and gratuitous amounts of blood. You always know where he stands. You're knocking off legendary Greek gods like it's going out of style. Have no misconceptions, God of War 3 is exact... more.

Nulla E Vero. Tutto E Permesso. Nothing is true, Everything is permitted. The first Assassins Creed was a highly controversial game. Now, it isn't controversial in the traditional sense. People aren't debating political or religious issues, just gameplan and story ones. Assassins Creed will live in infamy as one of the more dividing games in recent history. For every ten people you could find who ... more.

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.
