Activision’s Tony Hawk rebirth continues as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD arrives on the PC by way of Steam. Previously only available on the Xbox and PS3, Tony Hawk makes his way to the PC fairly intact and identical to the console versions. So, I said ‘fairly’ and there’s a…

The fifth and final (if you don’t count Skyfall) James Bond mission has been set for mega-crossover game 007 Legends. What better way to round out the game than with the iconic Goldfinger? It does, in all fairness, seem a little odd(job) to see Daniel Craig starring in Goldfinger and…

Arcade/Heavy Fire/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Onrails/Reviews/Shooter

Call it a guilty pleasure, or whatever you’d like, but I’m a fan of the light-gun shooters that have come in the recent motion controlled era. Heavy Fire: Afghanistan on the PS3 with Move was a flawed, but fun change of pace from all the modern-day shooters that have come along since…

Angry Birds/Apple/Bad Piggies/iOS/Rovio/trailer

If you’ve found yourself growing tired of Rovio’s numerous expansions to digital success story Angry Birds, perhaps you’ll be pleased to see how different its spin-off, Bad Piggies, plays.
