Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword
Beyond the Sword, as the name would imply, focuses on economic and diplomatic improvements to the game, as opposed to the conquest-oriented Warlords expansion pack released a few months back (by the way, every change in Warlords is included in Beyond the Sword). The new systems include the ability ...
Assassin's Creed Review
Perhaps it was the heightened anticipation, the unbridled eagerness I had before playing this game that lead to my disappointment. After all, it had been quite some time since a game had percolated my interest as much as Assassins Creed. I suppose that when one’s hope is raised so high, one ...
Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance Review
Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance is the stand-alone expansion to Gas Powered Game's Supreme Commander released early this year. The story picks up right after the events of Supreme Commander with an intro movie highlighting the events of the past couple of years; the Seraphim (the game's new ...
Unreal Tournament 3 Review
I’ll admit, I am new to multiplayer games. It was Call of Duty 4 that brought me into online multiplayer gaming, so I review Unreal Tournament III with virgin eyes, having never played any previous versions on the PC. I realize that this series is dear to many people, and I ask that you under...
Tony Hawk's Proving Ground Review
Tony Hawk games have a long history of providing hours of entertaining sandbox play and Proving Ground is no exception. This latest iteration does a lot to up the ante for sandbox-based gameplay, moving away from the very linear story mode of Tony Hawk’s Underground and into a more free-form se...
Crysis Review
Pretty much everybody in the gaming community knows about Crysis, how it’s been flogged and what it’s capable of. It was all Direct X10 this, nanosuits that, next generation of shooter thinking the other! And do you know what?
They were bloody right!
Now, I won’t disappoint, because I kno...
Escape from Paradise City Review
Let's invent a new game category: the MOL game: more or less. Escape from Paradise City is a great MOL game. Are the graphics and design effective? More or less. Are the RPG and RTS elements blended successfully? More or less. Is the game, ultimately, worth the player's time? MOL. You ge...
Prism: Light the Way Review
Prism: Light the Way is an addictive and challenging puzzle game with a surprising amount of depth to its puzzles. The game is built on the basic concept of directing light beams around a small room. You are given puzzle pieces with which you create and direct light, and targets, which are plac...
Painkiller: Overdose Review
People love--no, they need--to make comparisons. Comparing and evaluating is pretty much hardwired into the brain of most living things, and it certainly helped us evolve from the primordial Campbell's into the sophisticated, Jackass-watching species we are today (fruit=good; rock shaped like ...
Viking: Battle for Asgard Review
It’s all been done before…
Timed button-mashing wasn’t a novel mechanic when God of War was released on the Playstation 2, but the team at SCE’s Santa Monica studio hit the mark in terms of visceral, combo-laden combat that couldn’t get stale. Set in Greek lore, we were introduced to a mortal-...
Logitech G51 Speakers Review
When it comes down to it, games and other multimedia feed on all of your senses-except for taste and smell, but I'm sure companies are working on that. Typically, if you want a fully immersive experience while playing games, watching movies, or listening to music, it requires more than fancy lo...
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Review
Ten, five and three: respectively, that's how many years, games and systems the Gran Turismo franchise has stretched. Envisioned by Kazunori Yamauchi, and realized through the work of Polyphony Digital, the Gran Turismo games have a cult following, not only in the gaming circles, but with car e...
Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation Review
You have to admit, at some point in your life you probably wanted to be pilot of some sort. Whether you have seen the Blue Angels, watched Top Gun, or enjoyed the stories about the Red Baron, the notion of hoping into a cockpit and banking for negative Gs might get your blood pumping…int...
