I haven’t played Limbo until everyone was talking about it and I promised myself not to make that mistake again with Deadlight. While Tequila Works’ take on this genre fails to match the depth and excitement of Limbo, this is nevertheless one of the best action games of this year. The atmosphere is crushing and so dark, that instantly made me think about the movie “The Road”, something that I didn’t expect from a game … Read more

Resonance will not charm its players with state of the art graphics, gorgeous sound effects or any of the technological wonders that gamers tend to take for granted. In fact it will completely ignore anything that can be even remotely associated to the aforementioned qualities that we tend to rate modern games after. Instead, it will focus entirely on the storyline and it will develop an intriguing point-and-click system that stays true to what this … Read more
It’s been a long time since anyone has really come out with a great skateboarding game. Sure there have been games such as the “Skate” franchise, but never has a series such as “Tony Hawk” really made an impact on the skateboarding genre of games. However, this series hasn’t had a shining moment in quite some time….until now. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD gives players the one thing most HD remakes aim … Read more
Zombies, ghouls and other nightmarish creatures can hardly scare savvy gamers who’ve had their fair share of confrontation with monsters. Horror games that rely more on atmosphere and build up tension gradually are more likely to bring shivers down our spines than an endless slaughtering of fiends. It is obvious that this is what the developers of Anna had in mind, but the way they chose to implement this concept leaves a lot to be … Read more
It is very difficult to effectively market a racing game these days, especially if you want to make it stand out from the crowd when innovation is not its strong point. When you have Ferrari in the title, half of the problem is solved and all that you need to worry about is for the game itself not to fail miserably. Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends is not a bad game by any means, but … Read more

With Roller Coaster Rampage I can go a step further and not only ride insane … Read more
I have to say that until now my experience with video games revolving around the Olympic Games was terrible and I lost hope of ever playing a title that wouldn’t feel like a huge waste of time. With so many different sports, it comes as no surprise that the developers were struggling to find the perfect mix and their efforts frequently fell flat. London 2012: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games is not … Read more
You don’t need to be a diehard racing games fan to enjoy Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad especially in summer when there is a scarcity of immersive titles. Not everyone will get his adrenaline fix from Diablo and other major releases and a racing game such as the one developed by 2XL Games for PS3 and XBOX 360 can be a great diversion. Those who are familiar with the name McGrath, will probably be a bit surprised … Read more
Role-play games came a long way, but some of the titles that kept us entertained when we were younger would still be enjoyable to play, with slight tweaks. It is only fair to include Rainbow Moon among old-school RPGs, but it would be terribly unfair to dismiss it as dated or obsolete. The guys at SideQuest Studios did a brilliant job by incorporating all those elements that made former role-playing games fun to play, in … Read more

Skyrim has enough fans right now to make any add-on a success, but it wouldn’t hurt looking at the latest Dawnguard installment with a critical eye.

Fortunately the add-on brings more than a handful of extra quests and new items, with a whole different path opening in front of … Read more
Every year EA looks forward to their two main sports franchises coming out NCAA and Madden. However, making both games better than the previous year is something that can be quite difficult especially with as long as both of these franchises have been around. We look at NCAA 13, EA Tiburon’s newest addition to the NCAA Football franchise, and see just how much this year’s version has improved. NCAA 13 provides players this year … Read more
Being God is not as fun as you’d suspect, especially when your followers are not in the mood of respecting your will and are thinking of usurping you. Their approach might not be the most effective or smart one, but they seem to be undeterred in their attempt to build a tower that will puncture the skies. It is the high heavens from where you will make your stand and crush the Babel rising under … Read more
