Battleship Review (PS3)
Friday, May 25th, 2012

Okay, bear with me for a second here. Do you remember a game (electronic or otherwise) known as Battleship? Did you ever think that two-player strategy/board/pen-and-paper game would translate well into a movie? Well, someone thought it was a good idea. That film released last week (or last month if you are in the UK), [...]

PS Vita Review – LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5 – 7
Tuesday, March 20th, 2012

There have been 42 LEGO-based video games over the years, with 15 of those released or upcoming based outside the universe of LEGO, such as Batman or Pirates of the Caribbean. Whoever thought up the idea to combine the iconic children’s building blocks with equally iconic franchises such as these was a stroke of pure [...]

When it comes to baseball games, your choices are limited. There’s the venerable The Show series (take a look at our PS3 and Vita reviews), and the long-running 2K series.

The PlayStation Vita launch has gone off pretty successfully, as is evident by its strong launch lineup and reviews.

PS Vita Review – Dynasty Warriors Next
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

I’ll be the first to admit that I approached Dynasty Warriors Next with quite a bit of hesitation. The series has been around since 1997, when it launched on the original PlayStation, with The Warriors series by developer Omega Force and publisher Tecmo Koei mostly known for releasing a new version basically every year, without [...]

PS3 Review – SoulCalibur V
Friday, February 10th, 2012

SoulCalibur V has the series at odds. It’s a competent fighter, yes, but nothing about it really screams “must-have” unless you are a diehard fan.

Gotham City Impostors Beta Begins Today, Open to All
Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

When Gotham City Impostors was first announced last May, there were no doubt many skeptics who thought a spin-off of Batman in FPS form couldn’t really compete with big name games. Since then, we’ve not seen a whole lot of the game, at least on the console. While the beta has been ongoing for the [...]
