Metro: Last Light Review – Metro Prime

A popular sub-genre of video games in recent years deals with the subject matter of the apocalypse. Be it zombie, nuclear, or otherwise, the concept of survival amongst the rubble is narratively rich and has yielded some impressive games. One property to come out of this is the Metro series, based on a series of novels which take place in the labyrinth of Moscow’s underground metro system in the years after a nuclear holocaust. The premise here is that as the [...]

Anomaly 2 Review – On the Road Again

The premise of the Anomaly games is so simple that it’s a wonder it hadn’t been executed before. Anomaly: Warzone Earth took the  iOS staple of Tower Defense and turned it inside out; having you play as the attack force whose job is to maintain a constant onslaught and push through enemy defenses. Essentially, this game helped create a sub-genre on its own; Tower Offfense! Anomaly 2 takes place a number of years after the first title and even though [...]

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review – G.I. Bro

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is one of the most enticing downloadables of recent memory. Using the Far Cry 3 engine and title to leverage a stand-alone piece of insane content that feels much more like a full-fledged game than most downloads. In truth, the deciding factor for whether or not you should play Blood Dragon is how much you can relate to the new theme. 

Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine Review – Steal Battalion

There are a handful of locations in the world that evoke a certain kind of glamour and mystique. Paris, New York, Tokyo, Berlin…Monaco is also one of those. A playground for both the wealthy and the amoral, Monaco is a tiny city/state located in a corner of Southern France and is mostly known for its casinos, F1 racing, and nightlife. This is also a popular location for Bond movies and heist flicks, and it’s the latter identification with this place [...]

Sacred Citadel Review – I’ve Got A Golden Axe to Grind

Video games allow me to explore vast worlds, experience epic stories, and encounter unique characters. Mostly however, they give me the opportunity to beat the crap out of enemies big and small. There are few things as satisfying as wading into a group of enemies and just whaling on them. Sacred Citadel, the new beat-em-up by Southend, sets out to scratch this itch by offering a game where you get to play as one of four classes and fight your [...]

Late to the Party Review: Void

Void is a first person puzzle platformer game created by 6 DigiPen students as a part of their degree requirements. We’ve been seeing more and more unique games with imaginative gameplay mechanics coming from this college for a little while now and Void seems to be another great example of what people can do given reliable tools and an emphasis on original concepts.

[LTTP Review] Alien Spidy – Web of Frustration

Back in October, I wrote a preview for Alien Spidy, Enigma SP’s platforming game, which was slated for release at the end of 2012. It was delayed for a few months, but it has finally been released onto Steam. One thing that really struck me about the demo was that while it was fun, it suffered from the lack of precision with the web-shooting mechanic. Playing the full version has demonstrated that the gameplay is largely unchanged from the demo [...]

Highborn Review – Oh, Good Comedy, Where Art Thou?

You will often come across a game that really wants to be funny, throwing jokes and anecdotes all over the place. Seldom do you come across that game only to find it trying too hard and ultimately bursting into a horrific blaze of awful jokes. Still, at times it might squeeze a chuckle or two out of you. Add turn-based strategy and that’s Highborn. While this game is chock-full of constant attempts at comedy, it’s a good thing its humor [...]

DLC Quest Review – Acheesement Unlocked

There is a well-known belief that comedy is the hardest kind of storytelling to create. Within that, satire is the hardest kind of comedy to do. Why is that? Not only does it require that the audience have a level of understanding about the subject matter being lampooned, but it needs to demonstrate some proficiency within the constraints of what it is skewering. Take Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard for example; it was funny and satirical, but was [...]

Ultratron Review – Robotron Revengeance

In a high contrast frenzy of lasers and electronic beats, an indie game that hearkens back to the days of old school top-down arcade shooters has blasted its way into 2013. Some of you may have been instantly reminded of Robotron 2084, which has unfortunately not made an official comeback for the past couple of video game generations. However, there is now a spiritual successor, ready to challenge gamers once again just as they did back in the day. For [...]
