Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Reviewed!

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Reviewed!

Oh Marvel Ultimate Alliance the second, I really wanted to like you. You had so much potential what with the whole Civil War thing. But that’s what it boils down to: potential. While I played I couldn’t help but think of the game I could have been playing. Sure, this gameplay has worked in the [...]

Wet: Reviewed!

Okay folks, if you’ll just indulge me for a second here I’d like to address voice over artists in general and Eliza Dushku specifically: if you’re just going to phone it in, do us all a favour and DON’T. Better yet, if you don’t respect the medium enough to bring your A-game, turn down the [...]

NDS Review: Scribblenauts

NDS Review: Scribblenauts

Not five minutes into the game and I was already riding flying dinosaurs and doing battle with zombies and mutants (of my own creation) with a variety of weapons, both conventional and unconventional. When things got too heavy I hopped in my trusty time machine and headed back to medieval times.

REVIEW: The Beatles: Rockband

REVIEW: The Beatles: Rockband

If you’re a Beatles fan there’s no need to keep reading this article. You already suspect what I’m going to tell you. Rockband’s newest iteration is quite frankly a masterpiece. The experience almost transcends the game that presents it. At times it feels like the game is something that is happening to you, not something [...]

Invincible Iron Man Writer Matt Fraction Talks About Writing for Video Games

Invincible Iron Man Writer Matt Fraction Talks About Writing for Video Games

Despite impressive sales numbers, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that if you bought the Iron Man game that came out last summer to coincide with the release of Marvel Studio’s movie of the same name, you were a little disappointed. I didn’t mind the game, and still felt [...]

Feast Your Eyes on Star Wars: The Old Republic 20 Minute Demo

Feast Your Eyes on Star Wars: The Old Republic 20 Minute Demo

I realize this is a little old by internets standard time, but I just checked out Bioware’s Star Wars: The Old Republic GamesCom 2009 presentation. It definitely left a positive impression on me but it also left me with a ton of questions: can all classes take cover, or only some? What steps are being [...]

Batman: Arkham Asylum PS3 Review

Batman: Arkham Asylum PS3 Review

A little bit about me is in order here before I begin: I’m a huge Batman fan. I suppose, then, that it goes without saying that I can’t help but be a little biased in a review of a Batman game. But I can also recognize a terrible fucking Batman game. And brother, this ain’t [...]

Gran Turismo 5 Coming This Year?

Gran Turismo 5 Coming This Year?

According to text that can barely be made out from the above scan (the higher rise original can be checked out at  Rise of Games), we may be seeing Sony’s titular Playstation 3 driving sim by the end of this year.  Apparently, this pamphlet was handed out at GamesCom 2009. An exciting development for folks [...]

PS3 Review: Fight Night Round 4, A TKO!

PS3 Review: Fight Night Round 4, A TKO!

EA has been pumping out sports games every year for as long as I can remember. My first experience with EA was back in ‘94 with a little game on the Genesis called NHL ‘94. Since then I have always loved EA sports games (especially the NHL series), and I have tried to play as [...]
