Review: Battlefield 3 + Premium Service (PS3)

June 18, 2012

Battlefield 3/DLC/FPS/premium service/PS3/Reviews

Battlefield 3 is the latest installment in the very popular Battlefield series by DICE. Most compare it to the equally as popular Call of Duty series, however they are both very different. The multiplayer, (arguably the most important aspect of this game), is a one of a kind and allows…

Dead Space 3/EA/EA Origin/PC/PS3/Xbox 360

Dead Space was one of the new, quality experiences of 2008. Whether you agree with that statement or not, the list of awards from websites and events ranging from IGN to the BAFTA Game Awards definitely showed that Dead Space was not just another game that could be swept under…

Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs gets a teaser trailer

June 15, 2012

Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs/Frictional Games/Horror/PC

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is one of the few horror games that elevates itself to (and maybe even beyond) the likes of Resident Evil, Dead Space, and Silent Hill. The cold atmosphere is one of the main highlights; without Frictional Games (the developers of Amnesia: The Dark Descent) expertly crafting…

Alice Madness Returns/amy/Dragon Age/Dragon's Dogma/James Bond/kingdoms of amalur/Lord of the Rings/Resonance of Fate/Shadows of the Damned/The Cursed Crusade/Top 10

This generation has put up some truly amazing games – both high profile and niche. But, of course, it has also put up some real disappointments. Games that should have been great, or looked great in the promos, but didn’t follow through with the promise. There’s arguably been a lot…

Review: Bang Bang Racing (XBLA)

June 14, 2012

Bang Bang Racing/XBLA/Xbox 360/Xbox Live Arcade

Top down racers are a bit of a rarity these days, and top down racers that are actually good? Perish the thought. Remember Micro Machines? Those little toy cars were seemingly everywhere years ago (much like their fast talkin’ spokesman) and I can’t help but think about them in a…

Put a stake in these Van Helsing screens

Diablo/NeocoreGames/PC/Steam/The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing/XBLA/Xbox Live

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing finally opens the casket and gives gamers a peek at it’s innards, and it looks like- Diablo? Van Helsing is a bit of a re-imagining of the legendary vampire hunter (and has nothing to do with Hugh Jackman). The starring character is actually the…

Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Nintendo Direct/nintendo download/Nintendo DS/Nintendo DSi/Nintendo Network/Nintendo Video/Nintendo Wii

It’s another quality week for Nintendo’s download service as the eShop plays host to superheroes, outlaws, and a classic ape. I almost feel spoiled by the last two weeks of demos on the 3DS. Last week, if you’ll recall, LEGO Batman 2 landed on the service (and was great). This…
