Gettysburg: Armored Warfare tries to rewrite history

You don’t have to be a history buff to notice that this strange string of words makes no sense from a historic perspective.

It’s sad to witness how an otherwise unique concept is being shred to pieces by this title and … Read more

Ninja Gaiden 3 Proclaims the Demise of a Franchise

Playing Ninja Gaiden 3 should have been an exciting experience and I was hoping that the latest installment will get the franchise back on track. The original game was great and I’ve spent a lot of time slicing my way around, but sadly the sequel felt like a pale consolation. I didn’t expect the third installment to be a complete rip-off, but I can’t help but feel that this is not a step, but a … Read more

Rift Lite gives you a free ride to Telara

The guys at Trion don’t mind walking in the footsteps of WoW and those who haven’t played Rift before, should rejoice. It is now possible to explore the wondrous world of Telara for free and although the ride ends abruptly when you reach level 20, it is still worth joining the action.

Neverdead Game Review: Who Wants to Live Forever?

Most videogames and action titles particularly, keep you on your toes by making you vulnerable to attacks, but things work slightly different in Neverdead. Konami assumes that it can be just as fun to be immortal and cruise through demon infested levels, in an experience that comes closer to Serious Sam than lets say Bayonetta or Devil May Cry. Unlike Sam though, who dies frequently and starts all over again more viciously than ever, our … Read more

Batman: Arkham City Leaves Players Hungry for More

From the first attempts of creating a videogame revolving around DC Comics’ super hero, Batman entered a downward spiral, and it seemed like it’s only a matter of time before he’ll hit rock bottom, so Arkham Asylum presented the best chance for redemption. It was probably the best video game ever featuring Batman, so Rocksteady seized the opportunity and built on the immersive narrative and captivating gameplay. Batman: Arkham City was initially released for consoles … Read more
