PS3 Review – Final Fantasy XIII
Monday, March 15th, 2010PS3 Review – Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010The Battlefield series has been a long and fruitful one, dating all the way back to 2002 with Battlefield 1942. The series has done a great job of bringing large-scale chaos into the player’s home with large maps and a variety of vehicles. Now that the Call of Duty series has become the popular-sensation that [...]
PS3 Review – Last Rebellion
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010When you see the name NIS America listed on the box art of your video game, you can be assured of a wacky cast of characters and solid gameplay mechanics. So when I found that NIS and Hit Maker would be developing Last Rebellion exclusively for the PS3, I was overjoyed to get my [...]
PS3 Review – Alien Versus Predator
Monday, March 1st, 2010Every time the famous Alien and Predator franchises meet the outcome is always somewhat spectacular, be it in the spectacularly poor AvP movies, or in the ground-breaking 1999 AvP computer game. Rebellion, the developer of the original AvP game, has returned to create the latest game to celebrate the clash of the two franchises, but can they relive the success of the last game, or does it follow in the footsteps of the far from stellar movies?
PS3 Review – Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Is Star Ocean: The Last Hope worth a purchase with more significant RPGs releasing in the very near future?
PS3 Review – Dynasty Warriors: StrikeForce
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Dynasty Warriors: StrikeForce is based-on the PSP game of the same name, which now includes ‘next-gen’ visuals, over 40 new missions, and a 4-player online mode so that you and three of your friends can smash the square button as fast as you can..together! Do these new additions to the Dynasty Warriors formula make it rise above the rest or continue to show that the series needs a massive revamp?
PSP Review – SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010The venerable SOCOM series has already had three entries on the PlayStation Portable. The first two, Fireteam Bravo 1 & 2, were released by series creators Zipper Interactive and were generally well-received. The third portable entry, Tactical Strike, was released by Slant Six Games and was largely considered average at best. Their latest entry, Fireteam Bravo [...]
PS3 Review – Bioshock 2
Monday, February 15th, 2010Though it was late to the PS3 party, the original Bioshock was one of the best games released for the PS3–or any console for that matter. With an impressive setting, a well-told story, and fun action, Bioshock set the bar high for an eventual sequel. Now we have that follow up with Bioshock 2. Does it continue [...]

PS3 Review – Dark Void
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010The time is during World War II. The place is a parallel universe known as “The Void.” Our good friend Nolan North is the voice of the main character. Dark Void has all the makings of a blockbuster video game. But do all the pieces fall into place?

Friday, January 29th, 2010Is it the “massive” hit Sony was expecting? Find out in our review…
PSN Review – Hyperballoid HD
Friday, January 15th, 2010The PlayStation Store has its share of Arkanoid-like games available for purchase these days. The current king of this genre is easily Shatter, though Magic Ball/Orbz is definitely a close second (or first for diehard fans). The latest title to try for the crown, Hyperballoid HD, is currently out in certain regions. Does it rise up [...]
PS3 Review – Darksiders
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Darksiders has been called God of War meets Zelda. A better description would be Zelda in a God of War wrapper. The backdrop of the game is post-Armageddon, and one of the Four Horsemen has been set up to take the blame for cosmic events he did not put into motion. Does Vigil Games’ debut [...]
PSN Review – Blue Toad Murder Files: Episode 1
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009Relentless Software’s Blue Toad Murder Files is a game which dares to try out an episodic structure, with different episodes set to be released consistently until all six are available on the store. This strategy failed to win over most gamers in Siren: Blood Curse and caused problems with the game’s length and plot, but can this light hearted murder mystery title prove that the method can be successful, or does the game fail to break the mould?
PS3 Review – Planet 51
Monday, December 14th, 2009Games based on movies generally don’t receive the best critical responses, the limited budget and small developing time can often cause the game to have numerous problems. But does Planet 51 change that, or fail to break the mould? The game is created by Commandos developers, Pyro Studios, and is set in an open sandbox city, so it has the hallmarks of what could be a good game.
