NBA Jam On Fire Edition Review
With physics-defying dunks, players with oversized heads, and the ability to set people on fire, the NBA Jam series is not an authentic take on anything. It is, however, a hell of a lot of fun, especially with a group of friends. With the cancellation of NBA Elite 11 last ye... [read more]
Sonic Generations 3D Review
This video notwithstanding, I have been fairly kind to Sonic the Hedgehog, giving the 3DS version of Sonic Colors a 9, and an 8.5 to Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 . This is partially because I am a newcomer to Sonic’s games, and partially because Sega has been putting a ... [read more]

Afterfall: Insanity Review
Afterfall: Insanity was distributed based on an interesting premise; if it managed to pick up ten million pre-orders, all worth only a single dollar, the developers of Intoxicate Studios promised to donate ten percent of that to charity. Understandably, and as far as I have been able to tell, they did not reach this goal. And while the game is certainly worth the original one dollar they were asking for, I can't honestly say that I would be willing to pay much more than that.

Serious Sam 3: BFE Review
Serious Sam 3 is no different than its predecessors in that it is a medkit and armor shard-grabbing trigger-happy gorefest with little to no story to speak of, with what might possibly be one of the highest body counts ever seen in a video game. Other, lesser games such as Duke Nukem Forever made a strong case that maybe some conventions are better off dead in the water. Does Serious Sam 3 enforce this, or is it a shining example of how you can have mindless fun in a much more mindful age?

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Review
There is just too much to play this year, and having The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim released alongside all those other big games has set me back months. Bethesda's new titan of a game has done better than any other Elder Scrolls game before it, and has made a strong imprint on Internet culture and grabbed the attention of a whole new audience of people.

The AssKickers Review
The side scrolling beat ‘em up is an oft-forgotten genre, but it has been getting some attention in the last couple of years. Having a fondness for indie games, I was eager to give it a shot. With many fond memories of games like Streets of Rage sitting in the back of my mind, I always welcome a new addition to the genre, and was excited to see what The Asskickers had to offer.

Killing Floor Review
If you’re looking to waste some time killing zombies and have completely lost all patience with Zoey’s refusal to take off that hoodie in any appearance she has made post-L4D (like it’s really cold in the south, seriously) then logon to Steam and check out Killing Floor. Be warned, however, you will face an even smaller plot, even more characters that you don’t develop any affinity for and the least eloquent British accents you could possibly imagine.

Starcraft II Review
For those of you just turning 12 this year, you will never know a world without Star Craft. Which bodes well for you, because you also likely will not remember a world waiting more than a decade for its sequel as you've probably just recently discovered the wonderment of the desktop real-time strategy (RTS). That’s right kids! There is more to the world of PC gaming than MMOs and Facebook RPGs.

Puzzle Dimension Review
Puzzle videogames are either fast or slow, and Puzzle Dimension falls squarely in the ‘slow’ category. Instead of dealing with a hailstorm of falling objects like Tetris and its ilk, it presents you with one hundred three-dimensional puzzles filled with switches, traps, fire, ice and more.

Coming straight of the heels of their deal with Microsoft for the Project Gotham series, Bizarre Creations partnered up with Activision and thus Blur was born. I personally haven't been a fan of racing games for a very long while, but have played BC's past efforts as demos just to check out the eye candy � so I do know a bit about playing racing games
