Who you gonna call? (PC)
Indy adventure games have been thriving on the PC for years, so it wasn’t a surprise when I got my review copy of The Lost Crown and learned that it was designed and developed by a single man, Jonathan Boakes. The premise is simple enough: journey around mysterious towns on ...

Let's smash some bros (WII)
After years of waiting that were lengthened by numerous delays, Super Smash Bros. Brawl has finally hit the shelves of Japan. While most gamers will have to wait until March (or later, for those outside of North America) to get their hands on this title, an estimated 500,000 copies have ...

Gears-style coop and cheesy dialogue (X360)
The easiest way to describe Army Of Two is an ’80s action movie designed as a game. It features all the things you’d come to expect from a movie like Die Hard or Commando, but in a competent game that delivers fun coop gameplay. The game will not appeal to ...

A classic that never gets old (XBLM)
Ahhh, shoot-em-ups. So many classics, so little re-releases. Thankfully, one of the best was recently released for XBLA, and now everyone can enjoy Ikaruga. Built as a minimalist shooter, this game is quite possibly one of the most efficiently designed games of the genre. What Ikaruga does differently from all ...

So what is the secret of the Lombax? (PS3)
The Ratchet series has been a staple of the PlayStation since the first entry came out on the PS2. And it was with that game that Insomniac cemented its importance as a part of Sony’s success, with it’s strong commitment to the platform; this is especially true in Japan, where ...

Solid game, bad port (X360)
Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars is the award-winning spiritual successor to the free and incredibly fun FPS Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, a game notorious for its incredibly strong fanbase. Instead of taking place in the World War II era of Wolfenstein, this time players are fighting the war in the Quake universe ...

Cops & Robbers (PSN)
As David Jaffe’s brainchild, you can expect the following from Calling All Cars!: fast cars, crazy weapons, and a variety of locales to drive at. With the advent of QORE, Sony Computer Entertainment of America’s monthly interactive magazine for the PSN, Calling All Cars! is being included in the annual ...

Overhead shootin' in HD (XBLM)
This year, Capcom is gunning for nostalgia with the re-imagining and continuation of many of its classic franchises, such as 1942, Bionic Commando, Street Fighter, and of course, Commando. If you’ve never heard of the Commando franchise, it is essentially a traditional overhead shooter that controls similarly to Robotron. Commando ...

Goodbye, old friend (PS3)
The wait is finally over, and the final chapter of the Metal Gear Solid series has arrived. Since being shown at E3 2006, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has been one of the most anticipated games this generation. After exploring Snake’s father, Big Boss, in Metal Gear ...

"It looks like a cartoon!" (PS3)
Instead of covering the entire series for the nth time, what we have now in the singleplayer mode, aptly named the Z Chronicles, is something that glosses over the first main three arcs of the storyline, including the Saiyan Saga, the Frieza Saga, and the Cell Saga. Also, the issue ...

Last time we saw Metal Gear Online, it was released in beta form earlier last April to test the online capabilities and push the network to its limits in advance of the final release. While this newer MGO was not very similar to the original version included with Metal Gear ...

Let's blow stuff up! (PS3)
Battlefield is back on the consoles, and this time it’s exclusive. With Battlefield: Bad Company, EA DICE has taken a new approach by trying to create a convincing singleplayer campaign in addition to their standard multiplayer-oriented affair. Using the new Frostbite engine, everything in the game is almost 90% destructible, ...

It’s back to the basics for this one (XBLM)
Recently, Capcom has done an incredible job in regards to releasing a wide array of titles on the digital download front, and so far this year we’ve gotten a steady lineup of throwbacks that will surely keep fans satisfied for years to come. Bionic Commando: Rearmed is the latest, and ...

What the hell is a witcher anyways? (PC)
Last year was a terrible year for RPGs on the PC. There was almost nothing released, and the titles that were ended up being fairly underwhelming. However, there was one game that was strong, yet it had problems that kept it from being the best game it could have been. ...

8-bit in HD (WSHP)
The most important thing you need to realize about Mega Man 9 is that if you don’t like the style, then you’re a terrible person. 8-bit has returned straight from the NES and onto your next-gen console, that very same one hooked up to that fancy HDTV. It’s also complete ...
