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.

In Solitude – The World, The Flesh, The Devil – Review

August 12, 2011

Sweden’s In Solitude sound like King Diamond singing over galloping Maiden-style metal. That clicks with more readers than some clusterfuck from a thesaurus.

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.

Pretty Boy Floyd – Kiss of Death – A Tribute to Kiss – Review

July 29, 2011

It’s a Kiss tribute, released in 2010, by a band who peaked with their first album in ’89. Mean, but true. 15 covers ranging from classic Kiss to who cares?

Mortal Kombat – Review

July 29, 2011

The title may be all that has been streamlined: It takes a kitchen sink approach, one that actually enhances rather than obscures the game’s strengths.

Dungeon Siege III – Review

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.

Wonderful – Wake Up To Dreamland – Review

July 22, 2011

Gorgeous harmonies and strong leads, owing as much to the Four Freshman as the Beach Boys. These boys sound like they’re on a spiritual high.

Ys I & II Chronicles – Review

July 22, 2011

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.

Decapitated – Carnival Is Forever – Review

July 22, 2011

Poland’s speedy tech death merchants Decapitated must’ve had a few too many funnel cakes and cotton candy tugs, because this sounds way more brutal.
