Never back down from a job in Starhawk

by

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

Destroy your maker in Prototype 2

by

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

I am polling to see what games you want more coverage on, with tips, hints and reviews in the upcoming months on DragonBlogger.com.  It is also to let readers know of some fantastic deals going on right now where you can get budget gaming laptops for the price of a tablet (who would ever buy a tablet instead of one of these laptops, unless you already had a great laptop/PC for gaming and just wanted … Read more

Walking Dead’s different take on zombie games

by

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

Shift Into Top Gear in Tribes: Ascend

by

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

Fun Costs Nothing in Blacklight Retribution

by

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

Warriors Orochi 3: Nothing is Impossible

by

Most franchises struggle to keep fans happy and releasing a new installment is a challenge for developers. They need to find the perfect balance between innovation and upholding the standards that made previous games popular, so that both newcomers and hardcore fans will stay happy. Warriors Orochi 3 doesn’t bother itself with such details and boldly pushes the envelope with changes that promise to transform the entire game. So much novelty might be hard to … Read more

Gettysburg: Armored Warfare tries to rewrite history

by

You don’t have to be a history buff to notice that this strange string of words makes no sense from a historic perspective. The guys at Radioactive Software didn’t seem to care and came up with an intriguing concept that is twisted and eventually lost due to an underdeveloped story, with a second-hand gameplay that sinks constantly. It’s sad to witness how an otherwise unique concept is being shred to pieces by this title and … Read more

Armored Core V Mech Combat at its Best

by

In a world infested by first person shooters and RPGs that try to imitate the more famous titles, a MMO simulator such as Armored Core V is an excellent addition. Those who love large scale confrontations between massive mechs, will love this one and once they join the online community, there will be no turning back. The single player will keep them hooked for many days, but the lasting appeal of this game is vastly … Read more

Digital Reality Urges Us to Check Out Sine Mora

If you like games whose titles speak for themselves than you have another reason to love Sine Mora, because its name literally means “Without Delay”. The game is so well designed and so fun to play, that this incentive hidden in the title is not necessary. All you need is the will to take a leap of fate and experience one of the best 2D shooters released this year. Granted there are plenty of months … Read more

Ninja Gaiden 3 Proclaims the Demise of a Franchise

by

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

by

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. There are many similarities to World of Warcraft, but while some people regard it as a clone of this celebrated MMORPG, it is … Read more

Become a superstar in Major League Baseball 2K12

by

Baseball is one of the most popular sports in the US, but translating it into a dynamic and exciting videogame is a bit of a gamble, given its rather static nature. Visual Concepts brilliantly succeeds in capturing the very fragrance of baseball, without turning the entire gaming experience into a tedious one, delivering the perfect mix between arcade fun and realism. Those hoping for a 100% accurate simulator may be slightly disappointed, but otherwise Major … Read more
