The action in Ghost Recon: Future Soldier unfolds in the near future, even though the skeptics feared that due to several delays, it would take place in a not so distant past. This game spent a lot of time in the making and it almost looked like the release date will be pushed so far that the enthusiasm will die out, but fortunately it was not the case. What we are presented with is a … Read more
Branded as an action game with RPG elements, Dragon’s Dogma brilliantly succeeds in combining the two genres and incorporating MMO features as well. It is a hybrid and a pretty good one as well, although the overachievers at Capcom had to sacrifice something in the process. For a title that starts from such an intriguing premise, it is downright sad that the story is underdeveloped and fails to immerse the player into a game that had … Read more
I have become a huge fan of KingsIsle in the last few months being that I play Wizard101 about 15 hours per week with my two kids ages 8 and 5 and even my wife recently got involved with her own Wizard101 account. So when we saw that KingsIsle is coming out with Pirate101 we were excited and wanted to know more. It looks like Pirate101 takes a different approach than Wizards101 and combat isn’t … Read more
I have been twitching with excitement after getting my hands on an alpha build of the upcoming mech FPS HAWKEN. I was invited to the exclusive HAWKEN E3 Machinima Party and spent the evening battling other game reviewers and machinima makers. Below is my account of what happened and a few details about what you can expect to see in the beta. Party Details Waiting for me at the top of the balcony of the LUXE Hotel was an experience I had been … Read more
Hey there. With gaming news buzzing loudly from E3, Nintendo was poised to make a big splash with it’s up coming console, the Wii-U. Sony and Microsoft have yet to announce a new console so Nintendo has a leg up on the competition and if they play their cards right, they should be able to snatch back some of the consumers that have jumped ship to the more power Xbox 360 and PS3. For 90 … Read more
A brief overview of Microsoft’s Xbox SmartGlass App.
I have had my share of consoles over the years, but I can honestly say that since PC’s hit that point past the original PlayStation where they became more powerful gaming platforms console gaming becomes less exciting and thrilling for me lately. Perhaps it is the fact that console games always tend toward more action/platform oriented games and are weak for real time strategy and MMO games which are my most commonly played ones, but it probably … Read more
Okay, I was a bit disappointed when I read that The Secret World release date had been pushed back to July 3rd. But after playing the beta and exploring Kingsmouth Crossing the last few weeks, I think it will be worth the wait. The Secret World is a horror MMO game set in modern times if you didn’t know already, this MMO differs from so many other clones in that there are no levels or … Read more
Shooters are fun games to play and it comes as no surprise that the audience is made of both kids and adults, but savvy games will eventually grow tired of non-stop action. Exciting as it might be to storm into rooms full of enemies or to blast your way out of a fortress, sooner or later you won’t be sure whether you are killing hundreds of enemies or the same enemy hundreds of times. There … Read more
When they think about Max Payne, some gamers remember the gritty character, others recall the engrossing narrative but all of them evoke the unforgettable bullet-time. This game looks better in slow motion than anything else that is on the market and it is a worthy successor of some outstanding shooters. The visuals have been improved and the storyline remains just as strong, despite the fact that it wasn’t written by the original series creator. … Read more
In a world infested by fast paced shooters, addictive MMOs and complex strategy games, very few companies are still developing point-and-click adventure games. It is only natural that the best titles come from indie developers and Botanicula promises to be another hit for the team who created Machinarium. The action is anything but intense, so instead of leaving the computer exhausted you will resume your daily routine inspired and relaxed. … Read more
Those who love third person shooters and are on a constant search for something innovative, have plenty of reasons to check out Starhawk. This seamless combination between strategy and action, makes each confrontation unique and therefore more intense. Players can dictate the rules of the game, by building fixed defenses wherever they please, surprise their opponents and react to their actions. While the single player campaign is underwhelming, the multiplayer is so rewarding that it … Read more
Unless you have played the original Prototype, you will probably don’t know what to expect from the sequel, but given the awe inspiring trailers it is hard to resist grabbing a copy. Luckily you don’t need to know much about what happened in the prequel, because the introduction is comprehensive enough to fully immerse you into the story line. On the flip side, there isn’t much of a narrative and what is advertised as a … Read more

If you are looking for something different from Walking Dead: The Game and hope for more than bashing skulls, you won’t regret playing this title. This is one of the few zombie games that don’t involve excessive and gratuitous violence, but revolve around solid narratives. Players are invited to discover each setting and get to know every character, instead of blazing their way to objectives that mean little to them. … Read more

Is PowerUp Heroes a good Kinect Game? Find out in this review of Xbox 360 Kinect PowerUp Heroes.
Free to play games are acting as a magnet for those who like diversity and wouldn’t invest a lot into a title that they will eventually get bored of. Tribes: Ascend is one of the few free ones that will get players so immersed into the action that they will seriously consider spending real money on alternate classes, better weapons or grenades. It is as fair as it gets, since you get the chance to … Read more
Blacklight Retribution is essentially a first person shooter but it allows players to customize their characters and weapons so much, that it frequently passes the border into RPG land. Add to this the fact that it is free to play and we have an intriguing concept that is worth checking out by anyone who loves tight shooting controls and great visuals. There is no storyline to carry this title, but the numerous game modes are … Read more
