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.

Super House of the Dead Ninjas Review
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?

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.

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?

Since its release, Proteus has been faced with an avalanche of questions as to whether the title is indeed a video game or something else entirely.

Dead Space 3 Review
Dead Space 3 is a complete facelift for the series. The co-op alone is groundbreaking for the series, but the more open-world focused gameplay and side-missions seem to be EA's way of saying “we can take risks”. The question is: are these risks worth taking?

Mutant Mudds Review
Mutant Mudds had a bit of a problematic development, first appearing at the 2009 E3 under the name Maximilian and the Rise of the Mutant Mudds as a third person shooter. Unfortunately when the title did not garner enough publisher attention the game was scrapped. The game resurfaced in late 2010 when it tried to find 1,000 fans in order to justify its release on the Nintendo DSi. Finally, Mutant Mudds was created in the form we see it now and after being pushed back by holidays and waiting for approval, it finally entered the system. But has the title managed to survive its long and problematic journey?

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Review
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams by Black Forest Games is the sequel to the re-conceptualization of the 2009 release, Giana Sisters DS which came from the Commodore 64 title The Great Giana Sisters released back in 1987. The game is the result of an $186,158 backed Kickstarter campaign from last year, surpassing the $150,000 minimum backing but not quite reaching any of its aspirational goals. The Great Giana Sisters was critically praise upon release and attracted a cult following, it’s reimagining on the DS was not quite as successful.

Retro City Rampage allows you to take control of “Player” and experience the best parts of the 8-bit era like it never ended. It is an open-world title which parodies the most memorable video games, TV shows, pop culture and movies, and gives you all the control and diversity that the technology of the time just couldn’t give you.

Last February, Muse Games held a $10,000 Kickstarter to promote and support Guns of Icarus Online, the sequel to Guns of Icarus. The Kickstarter raised more than three times the amount they asked for, and allowed the dev team some time to finish production of their title, which was launched late last year. With their zeppelin funded, it was time to sink or swim.

Total War: Shogun 2 Review
The latest major release in Creative Assembly’s Total War franchise was released on the 15th of March 2011, but since their 2010 release of Napoleon: Total War we’re jumping back a few centuries and travelling far to the east to 16th century medieval Japan where a fascinating and wide array of clans are all equally convinced that they are the ones who should rightfully take the shogunate. The Total War franchise has been a big name in the strategy game genre for years now and the sheer magnitude and quality of Total War: Shogun 2 reflects just what a headlining series this is.

Waking Mars Review
Waking Mars is Tiger Style's first entry in the world of non-mobile gaming, and it's been making a big splash. Designed as a jetpack based sidescroller, it pays homage to classics like Metroid while still being a game on its own. The entire premise is based around a main character known as Liang trying to bring the ecosystem of Mars back to life through flora growth and exploration. As a deceptive game with a simple premise, Waking Mars has the potential to be the best indie game of this last year.

Little Inferno Review
Little Inferno, despite its child-like art style, was probably the most fun that I had in a non-traditional game experience. In most games, you have a basic gameplay that is divided up by narrative and puzzles. Developed by Tomorrow Corporation, Little Inferno is predominantly a big puzzle. Is Little Inferno worth gamers time to put together all the pieces though? Well... it all depends on your tastes.

Planetside 2 Review
As of last month, the long awaited sequel, Planetside 2, has seen its release. Boasting a small army of servers, 3 unique factions, and 3 continents to contend, it's one of the biggest world to do battle in. It's an excited bit, but I'm also a little afraid. Not because I feel the game will be bad, but because the guise of free-to-play is something that always worries me.
