Game Reviews

Oh JRPGs... you're like cider... you lure me into your sweet lair with delicious promises of comfort, laughter and an easy-going time. Then...then...then it just goes horribly wrong. All the people begin to grind on...

I've really looked forward to playing the heck out of Hard West, as it falls neatly in a niche sub-genre called weird west. Imagine all the bravado, masculinity and arrogance of a western, sucked out...

Rodea The Sky Soldier had a crazy development cycle. Yuji Naka finished his new game back in 2011, but for some reason Kadokawa Games did not localize it. Time has since passed, and the game...

Disappointment is the only word that comes to mind when I think of The Incredible Adventures Of Van Helsing: Final Cut. Not because it's a bad game -- not even close. In fact, it's through and...

It has been two years since EA put out an entry in their flagship racing franchise with Need for Speed: Rivals. It was the first game developed by studio Ghost Games, who were composed of a...

With Microsoft bringing us their biggest exclusive line up in Xbox history, their star player is leading the march this holiday season. Finally, Halo 5: Guardians has arrived and there’s plenty riding on its shoulders...

Horror games are not easy to get right, what scares one person may certainly not scare another. Some people love jump scares, while others like psychological horror more. No matter which genre you like however,...

2D platformers, beyond Nintendo's elbow nudging nostalgia, appear to me to be something of a rarity. Already one or two of you are likely poised to launch into the comments section to yell at me...

I sat at home the other day feeling a bit down. The rain was pouring down outside and I had a lot of stress pent up inside. Usually, I sit down and play a video...

The first Assassin’s Creed game will be ten years old next Fall. Ubisoft’s historical romp through world history didn’t turn into a yearly franchise until Assassin’s Creed II started the tradition in 2009. The main...

I’ve studied game design and reviewed games for the past few years. For over three years of my life I programmed; I learned the fine details of theory and design, and all of the important...

Activision's Call of Duty franchise has been around for three generations of consoles and there is no sign of this juggernaut slowing down one bit. Both of the developers, Infinity Ward and Treyarch, have been...

Left 4 Dead is either one of those games you love or hate. It's definitely one of the best co-op shooters available if you want something fun and easy, but a lot of people are turned off...

Iconic figures have their origin stories, and what comes next is usually their transition into greatness; their struggles and ventures are what craft their bold personalities and develop the moral codes they believe in. Lara Croft...

The series responsible for one of my favorite games of all-time, ATV Offroad Fury, races onto the next gen scene with MX vs ATV Supercross Encore, developed by Rainbow Studios. The series has truly fallen...

With the recent disappointments of previous years for JRPG's with long production schedules and perplexing narratives, there is always one series that I can go back to almost every year and cherish for a few...

Many gamers were saddened when THQ went under, and they all feared that Nordic Games would do nothing with Vigil's lost property. Thankfully, they were wrong as Nordic has released the bastard child of The Legend...

Usually it is easy to work out who a game is designed for at a moment's glance. “Oh, this zombie game is for adults who gleefully grin at the splattering of blood and flesh.” “This...

I love Pro-Wrestling, and I am one of those people who really enjoys watching modern day WWE programming as much as I like to revisit older eras. As a fan, I have played almost every installment...

I love RPGs, but they often take a lot of time to play through. Sometimes I wish that there was a smaller alternative -- something that gives me a small chunk of what is usually part...

It's been a long time since I've played a Transformers game. I fondly remember the simply titled Transformers on PS2 back in 2004; It was a grand game with fantastic visuals, tons of collectables, and fun...

Crimsonland is a remake of a shooter that hearkens back to the golden arcade age of top down shooters where enemies swarm the screen, and you have multitudes of insane power-ups and guns that let...

Alas, the Telltale Heart, each beat thudding to remind me of its existence. I turned away, fearful of what would lie if I was to dig it up. I had a jolly time with Telltale...

Simulation games often create a realistic experience for the player, allowing them to immerse themselves in a particular occupation without leaving the comfort of their desk chair. This can include piloting a plane, driving a train or …...

I'm going through some Resident Evil mania right now, and combined with the impending release of a remastered Resident Evil 0, and the recently announced remake of Resident Evil 2, I am about as happy as a...

I'm sitting here at my sister's boyfriend's house, and I want to play some Trials Fusion. I don't have access to my PS4, and I forgot my PSVita at home so no remote play for...
