I think it’s time Ubisoft stopped making movie-based video games. Does that mean I’m about to call the Tintin movie-based game awful and not worth touching with a 10-foot pole? No, actually. It has its graphical issues in the cutscenes and an aggravating lack of camera control in the free-roaming 3D sections (specifically, none), however [...]

Michel Ancel and team have done it again, by going in reverse (sort of). Rayman Origins is an absolute blast from the past as far as the platforming elements are concerned, but there is so much more happening in this game, with its hand-drawn characters, and environments, its wonderfully oddball musical score, and its surprisingly [...]

Assassin’s Creed has been one of my favorite franchises these past few years. Recently, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, the fourth game in the series, released, and I’m a little torn. The gameplay and combat is as satisfyingly awesome as its predecessors, but aside from a few minor tweaks, the game hasn’t changed all that much. The [...]

Majesco and WayForward walked a thin line with BloodRayne: Betrayal. This 2D, anime-styled Side-Scrolling bloodfest is a visual treat, and it certainly provides a challenge as your progress further through the levels. Its feeling of speed, however, varies drastically. It felt fast-paced at the wrong times (when trying to control landings), and far too slow [...]

Eli pretty much entirely captured my thoughts on Duke Nukem Forever. I think I’ll just add that I did appreciate some of the self-referential humor and I did have some fun playing it, but for a game that was twelve years in the making it was far too standard, and uninspired. Also, the loading times [...]

There may have been elements of horror in F.E.A.R. 3, but overall it just felt like a more ominous Call of Duty. Sure there were some spooks, but those moments were few and far between, and the rest (or majority) of the game was just your standard first-person shooter. Not to say that it isn’t [...]

I want to say that playing Duke Nukem Forever has left me conflicted – appeased by a hit of excessively violent, campy nostalgia, but disappointed by graphical inferiority, unnecessarily slow loading times and its refusal to even try innovating. I would, but the mix of the aforementioned issues and the game’s lackluster attempts to be [...]

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems that the past two games in the Call of Juarez franchise were released before their completion. Regardless of who’s to blame for that, be it Ubisoft for pushing for too early a release date, or Techland for claiming they were ready before they truly were, Bound in Blood [...]

When you’ve got Suda 51 involved in a game, you know you’re in for a filthily quirky experience. Well, Shadows of the Damned was definitely filthy, as it was flowing with penis jokes, sex jokes, and more penis jokes. On the quirky side, however, it had its strange moments, but it wasn’t as rampant as [...]

Dead Block is one of those titles which makes me wish that renting downloadable content was possible. Its satirical and campy take on the “scourge” of rock and roll in the 1950s and how its evil grooves raised the dead, turning them into zombies, is humorous and well executed. However, playing through a few levels, [...]
