Dark Souls – Review

October 7, 2011

A survival horror in the truest sense, and as harsh as it is, it’s never less than compelling. The unhurried pace of the combat is addictive.

Disgaea 4 – A Promise Unforgotten – Review

September 30, 2011

Brew up a cup of some strong stuff and sharpen that focus before attempting to wrap your mind around the myriad battlefield tactics, characters, and items.

BloodRayne – Betrayal – Review

September 30, 2011

A great sense of rhythm and balance: Your blades might slice through hulking blood sacks one minute then spark and clang against armored swordsmen the next.

Resistance 3 – beta – Review

August 19, 2011

Buggy matches, inability to connect to a match, frozen matches, post-match freezes before you’re rewarded; this beta has a weapon wheel of frustration.

F.E.A.R. 3 – Review

August 5, 2011

The series’ tight and responsive gunplay, coupled with its addicting (and not copied nearly enough) slow-mo mechanic, makes for another great-playing game.

Wizardry – Labyrinth of Lost Souls – Review

August 2, 2011

It’s a fantasy RPG set thousands of years in the past, but the game also exists in an ooooold school RPG dream world where the modern age never came to pass.

July 29, 2011

Colorful heroes and monsters clash on battlefields like luxury board games, with sparks and explosions of steel and magic lighting up the lush surroundings.

Ys I & II Chronicles – Review

The Ys games released in 2010 were excellent, and this third trip, while not as impressive as its predecessors, adheres to those same high standards.

Transformers – Dark of the Moon – Review

July 22, 2011

With Dark of the Moon, developer High Moon Studios has been yanked out of its G1 Cybertron fantasy and tasked to create a more predictable summer movie tie-in.
