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.

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

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.
