Review – Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty
Posted on August 4, 2010 | No CommentsI was tempted to begin this review with some type of epithet recounting the long years of waiting for the sequel to one of the greatest games ever made. But honestly, that would be dishonest. Starcraft came out some time before I was sucked into... -
iPhone game review – Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter
Posted on June 23, 2010 | No CommentsLet’s just be honest with one another: dinosaurs are awesome. Anyone care to dispute this? I thought not. In a desire to tap into the universal adoration dinosaurs receive from every demographic (except, perhaps, the Geico cavemen) Tatem Games launched Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter last week... -
Epic Review – Alpha Protocol
Posted on June 14, 2010 | No CommentsIt’s been a while since I’ve played a game that’s left me as conflicted as “Alpha Protocol” has. On the one hand, it’s nothing like I expected it to be; but on the other hand, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. On one foot it’s... -
iPhone game review – Plants vs. Zombies
Posted on May 23, 2010 | 3 CommentsI’ll be honest: I didn’t buy into the “Plants vs. Zombies” craze at first. I’m a fan of Popcap — God alone knows how many hours I’ve lost to “Peggle” — but as clever as their peashooting strategy game sounded, I wasn’t all that impressed.... -
Review – Digital: A Love Story
Posted on April 16, 2010 | No CommentsAnd you thought you’d seen everything on the internet… Or maybe you didn’t think that…actually, just thinking about thinking that gives me the shivers. Seeing everything on the internet would imply I would have to browse 4chan, and I place a higher value on my... -
Review – Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising
Posted on April 1, 2010 | No CommentsBurn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean. With these words on their lips, the Blood Ravens chapter of the Immortal Emperor’s Space Marines crash once again into battle against the enemies of man. And what bloody good fun it is. Dawn of War... -
Review – Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Posted on March 24, 2010 | No CommentsTake a deep breath, and let it out. It’s a beautiful day. Birds are singing. The jungle is lush. The water is warm. Not a gator for miles. Why did you even bring that USAS-12 fully automatic shotgun, anyway? The answer comes suddenly as the... -
Review – Star Wolves 3: Civil War
Posted on March 11, 2010 | 2 CommentsI went into Star Wolves 3: Civil War about as blind as I could be. I’d never heard of the series nor had I any real idea as to what type of game it was. Turns out, I’m still not sure. It’s a tough game... -
Review – S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
Posted on February 28, 2010 | No CommentsThe S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games have always held a particularly special place in my heart. I discovered the original some time after it was released and was instantly swept up in its apocalyptic world. The atmosphere was complete: after a few minutes trekking around the ruined Chernobyl... -
Review – Chronicles of Mystery: The Tree of Life
Posted on February 17, 2010 | No CommentsAdventure games are an eclectic bunch. They range from goofy third-person experiences like the Monkey Island games to more serious, story-driven games like the Myst series. Some rely heavily on inventory-based puzzles; others more on dialogue; still others on logically piecing elements of the environment... -
Epic Review – Bioshock 2
Posted on February 17, 2010 | 2 CommentsBioshock 2 has been one of the most anticipated games of the last several months. Both critics and fans have been divided over whether or not it would be a worth successor to the brilliant original. I’ve made no secret of my views. But now... -
Epic Review – Mass Effect 2
Posted on February 9, 2010 | 3 CommentsSpace opera. Timeless classic. Sprawling epic. KoTOR killer. Whatever you call it, it’s undeniable that nothing quite like Mass Effect 2 has ever been seen before. I’ll be honest, it took me a long time to finish the first Mass Effect. Don’t get me wrong,... -
Classic Review – Indigo Prophecy
Posted on January 21, 2010 | No CommentsIndigo Prophecy is difficult to classify. It’s part adventure game, part action game, part murder mystery flick, with mild platforming and FPSing thrown in for good measure. And I thought there weren’t any surprises left for me in the gaming world. There are a great... -
Classic Review – Evil Genius
Posted on January 15, 2010 | No CommentsIn my quest to go back and play all the great old games that I missed in my formative years before I became a dedicated gamer, one thing has become clear to me: people have been making fantastic games for a really long time. Evil... -
Review – Torchlight
Posted on December 20, 2009 | No CommentsPeople seem to be under the impression that massive multiplayer (MMO) games (such as World of Warcraft) are the digital equivalent of heroin. In my opinion, that analogy is flawed because, while both are addictive and can reduce your life to smoking ashes, heroin is...
