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
There is something about roller coasters that clouds my judgment and draws me closer to an unnamed fear, each time I find myself in an amusement park. It is only when the doors close behind me and the vehicle begins its ascendance that reason returns and countless questions rush into my mind…but by that time it is already too late. 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
It’s time for another adventure into the world of Albion in “Fable: The Journey” where, this time, you will adventure as the character, Gabriel. While forging a relationship with a horse companion you will come to the aid of the ailing Theresa, a recurring character from all the previous Fable games, who will start you on your adventure. Using the Kinect you will be immersed in the game’s 1st person perspective while you battle your … 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. It aims to add a couple more hours of content to a title that is already impressive, with roughly 100 hours of intense action awaiting players. 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
When we play first person shooters involving Middle East skirmishes we are expecting familiar sites such as Afghanistan, Iraq or Iran. In Spec Ops: The Line, action takes us to the crown of the UAE, the splendid city of Dubai which is unfortunately in turmoil. All its glory was stripped away and what we find is an all-out war against military factions, insurgents and covert ops. The landscape is changed and as players will soon … Read more
The Amazing Spider Man is simply put a summer game that will entertain you for a couple of days or weeks, without leaving a powerful impression on you. The good thing is that it doesn’t aim farther than this and it is completely committed to satisfying your adrenaline rush. Manhattan is once again the setting where action unfolds, but the familiar places are not making the slinging or fast paced fights any less fun. … Read more
Back in the days of early 8-bit gaming, there was a trend among some of the popular video games. Games such as Ninja Gaiden, Ghouls and Goblins and Mega Man were quite difficult and left some gamers with a lot of frustration and even more broken controllers. Nowadays it is extremely rare to find a game with as much challenge as the games of old, and yet Developer Derek Yu seemed to capture the … Read more
Tutorial introduction video of The Secret World where you learn how to fight and move around in a scary underground train station.
Sins of a Solar Empire is widely regarded as one of the best real-time strategy game, so a sequel such as Rebellion was highly anticipated. Sadly, it doesn’t include a single player campaign either and it feels more like a comprehensive patch than an expansion. Everything has been improved, which is reason enough for fans to buy it given the fact that Sins of a Solar Empire was so good, and a must have for … Read more
It’s been awhile since we let ourselves go and went fist to fist against our friends and strangers alike in Virtua Fighter 5. 2006 was a great year for arcade enthusiasts and this fighting game was definitely the most cherished one released by SEGA. What we are presented with now is not a new installment, but rather a revamped version of the game we used to love. It features better graphics, a greatly improved combat … Read more
It is hard to get excited about the release of a new third-person shooter, but one with an intriguing premise such as Inversion has a decent chance of raising awareness. Among otherwise mundane ideas such as an alien invasion and a personal vendetta or a rescue mission, Inversion brings something new to the table. It promises a truly unique gaming experience, by empowering players to manipulate the laws of physics and repel the invasion in … Read more
Some players predict the end of World of Warcraft, arguing that the popular MMO is running out of steam and its vital energy has extinguished. Others state that Blizzard is still ahead of the pack and new games are nothing but surrogates that struggle to replicate its immense success. You don’t need to choose sides to enjoy Tera Online, because although this title belongs to the same celebrated genre, it has plenty of innovative elements … Read more
Two years in the making and building up hype with each presentation, Sorcery is finally here and promises to immerse gamers into a world of magic that will make the wait worthwhile. Developed by The Workshop and published by SEGA, Sorcery will require a PlayStation Move which makes it a bit restrictive. As far as video games go, this one proudly sits among the better ones and if you were pondering about investing in a PlayStation … Read more
