Charred Walls of the Damned – Review

March 1, 2010

Whether it’s his work in latter-day Priest or Iced Earth, Ripper Owens’ delivery is always 100 percent over-the-top metal mania.

Dark Void – Review

March 1, 2010

A developer who sets out to redefine the third-person action genre. With a game is as ambitious as Dark Void, it’s easy to forgive its faults.

BioShock 2 – Review

March 1, 2010

The storytelling, while solid, falls well short of the original’s superlative status, but elsewhere, the series has been polished up nicely.

Samael – Above – Review

March 1, 2010

A relentless, thrashing beast that barrels endlessly forward and rarely slows down. A satisfying one-dimensional assault if you’re in the mood.

Hatesphere – To The Nines – Review

March 1, 2010

These Danes play a straightforward strain of speedy death along the lines of The Haunted circa One Kill Wonder. To The Nines is a lean, focused attack.

No More Heroes 2 – Desperate Struggle – Review

March 1, 2010

When Travis Touchdown fires up his katana and screams “Fuck you!” as he carves up opponents, you’re ready for the gaming equivalent of Never Mind The Bollocks.
