Impire Review
Drawing inspiration from the classic title Dungeon Keeper while trying to be a game all of its own, Impire promises some of the best. As an RTS title, it's a little bit away from Paradox's safe turn-based monopoly, which makes a bit hesitant.

Age of Empires II HD Edition Review
The Age of Empires series stands as the perfect example of how to make learning fun. These unique RTS titles combine actual history; with stuff kids loved. It’s a great series, and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who was overjoyed when I heard that an HD remake was going to be released on Steam. The only concern I have is whether this HD remake is worth the $20 price tag, or if simply dusting off an old copy is a better option.

The Showdown Effect Review
The Showdown Effect is the result of pitching together a group of action movies from the 80s and 90s and forcing them to brawl it out with weapons from their respective universes ranging from the deadly frying pan to the feeble lightsaber. It is as intense and action packed as it is ridiculous, with backflips and wall clinging featuring heavily in the game.

Based on a free online flash game developed by Megadev and published by Adult Swim Games, Super House of Dead Ninjas makes its debut on Steam. Full of retro action and platformer goodness, this version of the game has more levels, new customization options, and various extras that improve on the original flash game. Question is whether this game deserves your money or should you stick with the free version?

Last year, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate was announced. Combining all the Japanese expansions, it was set to take America by storm. Now that it's been released, the question remains. Will it be the Monster Hunter that finally breaks through with America, or will it be left in the dark like all those that came before?

Tomb Raider Review
After several games of the same formula, the Tomb Raider series is getting a reboot. Crystal Dynamics is showing that even if a series is successful, there are times that you need to go to the beginning and start from scratch. I'm so happy that they did just that.

Dungeonland Review
Paradox Interactive is one of those companies that I have a soft spot for because of what they do. Their latest risk, a 4-player dungeon-crawl known as Dungeonland made by Critical Studios that's a comedic take on tabletop gaming.

Aerporter Review
In Japan, Level-5 released a compilation of games called Guild01 that made its way to the U.S. in three separate games. Aeroporter is one of those games that has you operation a baggage carousel at an airport. I wish I could make it sound more exciting than that, but that’s exactly what your job is. As menial as it sounds, I have to admit that the game is surprisingly fun.

SimCity Review
The year is now 2013, and EA has worked with Maxis to create a new SimCity. Adding co-op based gameplay and focusing around the economic side of things, SimCity has potential to provide fans the series and newcomers with the same excitement of the original games in the series. Will this new game still be able to capture what made the original sell or will all the shiny designs make it a boring waste of time?

Special Forces Team X Review
With recent restructuring of the company, Special Forces Team X was the last title to come out from the previous development cycle. Is SFTX a competitor in the online multiplayer market? No but it instead bases itself in a secluded market that hasn’t been tapped since the last generation of console: airsoft-styled weapons in a third-person shooter. Then again, maybe we should have left it back in 2003 when it was cool.
