PSN Review: Tales of Monkey Island
Sunday, July 11th, 2010

After the April release of The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition and Sam and Max: The Devil’s Playhouse on the PlayStation Network, the obvious next step was for Telltale Games to bring their critically acclaimed Tales of Monkey Island to the PS3. Although LucasArts oversaw the project, can Telltale match their predecessor’s mastery of mental merriment?

PS3 Review – Snakebyte Premium Bluetooth Controller
Sunday, July 4th, 2010

There is no doubt that the PlayStation 3 market doesn’t have as many third party controllers available as the PlayStation 2 era. This most likely ties into the fact that the DualShock 3 has much more featured in it than the previous DualShock 2, including both Bluetooth and SIXAXIS motion controls. Snakebyte is one of [...]

PS3 Review – MAG: Interdiction
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

When Zipper Interactive first announced MAG it had many original SOCOM fans drooling at the thought of 256 players on one multiplayer map together. They promised to deliver a great online shooter with a huge community, and they didn’t let gamers down. MAG is one of the best shooters out on the PlayStation 3. Recently [...]

PS3 Review – Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
Friday, April 2nd, 2010

A vast number of racing games have appeared on the PlayStation 3 over the years, yet one distinct sub-genre has been severely overlooked: The Kart Racer! Have no fear, Sega and developer Sumo Digital are here to ‘save’ the day with the Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing, the best kart racer currently available on the PlayStation 3.

PS3 Review – How to Train Your Dragon
Thursday, April 1st, 2010

Movie tie-in games continue to be released to mostly mediocre sales and reviews, but that has not stopped companies from pushing them out alongside the movies.  The latest in this long line of movie games is ‘How to Train Your Dragon’, published by Activision.  The game puts you in the shoes of vikings as they train their dragons for combat in tournaments of [...]

PSP Review – MLB 10: The Show
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Spring hasn’t truly sprung until a new season of baseball has started. That also means a new version of the best baseball simulator out there, MLB 10: The Show. The game fared pretty well on the PlayStation 3, but how well does its handheld counterpart perform?

PS3 Review – Resonance of Fate
Monday, March 29th, 2010

One of the major criticisms of the PlayStation 3 since launch has been the distinct lack of RPGs. The fact that at one time you could hold all of the available RPGs in one hand made fans of the genre begging for the glory days of the PS1 & PS2. Fast Forward to 2010 and 6 RPGs have already graced our system of choice with many more to come (Alpha Protocol, FF XIV, DC Universe, etc.). Sega and Tri-Ace’s Resonance of Fate is the latest title from this ‘rush’ to be unleashed with promises of an all-new, innovative combat system which will set it apart from the rest. Will ROF be one of the more memorable games from the ‘Great RPG rush of 2010′ or is it destined to be forgotten?

PS3 Review – Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

The 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, 2010

When 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, 2010

Every 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?
