  • Phantasy Star 0 Review
    Phantasy Star 0? Does that make it a prequel to a Master System game? I think there should be some sort of award for doing a prequel for a game that old! The Phantasy Star series went through a rocky period after the death of the Dreamcast (sob). Phantasy Star Online was one of the most played games on the last Sega console, but failed to achieve the same numbers when...

  • Sonic Classic Collection Review
    The Mega drive (Genesis) was my first real console. Sure, I had a Spectrum ZX2 before that, but the Spectrum didn’t have the fastest animal in existence. Upon playing Sonic the Hedgehog that Christmas, I knew I would be hooked on gaming forever. Sonic is the reason I sit here today and write reviews, I owe that blue wonder everything. Sonic Classic Collection is...

  • Greed Corp Review
    Turn based strategy games are usually a pretty standard fair, so when something comes out that is actually original in this genre people should really take a look.  Unfortunately, due to the time frame this game got released in I doubt many people will take the time.  Greed Corp is an original turn based strategy game found on Xbox Live Arcade that is completely worth...

  • Global Agenda Review
    Released back on February 1st by Hi-Rez Studios through Steam,  Global Agenda is a massive multiplayer third person shooter. Yes, third person. It has some very interesting and promising features that should attract any players interested in the genre. It has both free to play and subscription based options which gives special features to those that are willing to pay. Before...

  • Tap Tap Ants iPhone Review
    Developed by riseuP! Labs, Tap Tap Ants is a timed game where you smash ants. Why would you want to smash innocent ants? Apparently, they took it upon themselves to attack your food, and it’s not just a simple sandwich either, it’s your oven cooked pizza. They have rushed you and it’s up to you to smash them before they get your food. You have a choice of picking...

  • Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Review
    Many people will look at Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing and think, “Sonic R was terrible, and Sonic Riders was passable, so why would I buy this?”  Well, ladies and gentlemen, it’s because someone at Sega got his or her act together regarding Sonic’s racing career. Mario Kart Wii really failed to capture my heart. The tracks were dull and unimaginative,...

  • Bioshock 2 UK Review
    Bioshock 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Bioshock from 2K games, and the twice removed cousin of the famous System Shock series. Once again you are thrust into Rapture, but this time not as a guest. Rather, you are one of the original inhabitants of this thriving social experiment under the sea. This time round you enter the sizable shoes of one of the first...

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Review
    The Battlefield series has always reigned supreme on the PC market, a solid online game that handled large amounts of players on huge maps. From 1942 to the distant future the series constantly offered variety and great online fun with balanced classes and weaponry. Battlefield made its first jump to consoles with the original Xbox release of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat...

  • Undead Knights Review
    Think Overlord, but you get to make Zombies for your troopers. This PSP title from Team Tacyon claims a sense of humor involved in this hack and munch, as you bring down the evil queen with one of three wronged anti-heroes. Unfortunately some bad design holds this game back from being anything but mediocre. The plot revolves around the house of Blood, not a literal house,...

  • Darwinia+ Review
    Released February 11th, Darwinia+ is the Xbox 360 version of Darwinia for the PC. The game is based inside of a 3D virtual polygon world created by Dr. Sepulveda in which he has creative artificial intelligence called, you guessed it, Darwinians. The unique characteristic about each Darwinian is they have their own “souls” lead their own lives within this world....

  • Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce Review
    Oh Dynasty Warriors, at least you used to be fun. The Series from Koei that refuses to go away returns with a brand new name. Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce looks to rejuvenate a very repetitive series with some new ideas, some of which are fantastic steps forward, shame the rest not only took two steps back but fell off a cliff in the process. Dynasty Warriors hasn’t...

  • Ski Jump 2010 iPhone Review
    Ski Jump 2010 is exactly as it sounds: ski jumping. It’s a rather simple iPhone game, to say the least, and there’s not really much to compliment or criticize about it. Essentially, you have to tap the screen at the right time to make your ski jumper do the best jump (there’s also options for tilt controls, but they work horribly from what I can tell)....

  • The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom Review
    If you’re like me, you have always thought that having a clone of yourself would make things a lot easier. You could have your clone do chores, get you something to drink, and in the case of The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, help you get pie. That is the angle The Odd Gentlemen, the games developer, have taken with their debut title. A quirky puzzler with...

  • Heavy Rain Review
    Heavy Rain is a rare example in gaming where personal attachment to the characters is 100% necessary to enjoy the game. Quantic Dream is widely known as the developers of Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy in the US) a game that created its own genre, Heavy Rain takes this genre to a new level. Action fans beware; this is not the game for you. The closest you can get to describe...

  • Darksiders Review
    As one of the first games of the new year, Darksiders brings promise of a great gaming year for all. You play as one of the Four Horseman, War as he is tossed into chaos when the armies from Heaven and Hell face off on Earth. Unfortunately for War neither side enjoys seeing you and all will attempt to bring you down. Darksiders brings to the table an excellent combination...
