Saloon shoot-outs, riding on horse back, quick-draws at high noon; these were the original shooters. Before space marines were decked out in the latest armors and given the most advanced weapons, it was just about a man, his hat and the horse he rode in on. Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is a different kind of shooter for this generation of consoles. Read More.

I'm a bit of a sucker for scary games. I've played through most of the titles I could find that were labelled 'scary', 'spooky', or 'don't go to sleep or you'll see it in your nightmares' by others, and generally have a good time. Don't get me wrong, though. I am a pansy and given a dark enough room I will jump at the slightest hint of movement on the monitor. Read More.
When I originally reviewed Patapon on the PSP nearly two years ago, I instantly fell in love with its intriguing mix of rhythm and real time strategy. Leading these little one-eyed cuties into battle against dragons, giant crabs, ancient statues, and the evil zigoton forces was a sheer joy the first time around, and I was enamoured from catchy beginning to toe-tapping end.

Monsters vs. Aliens is a movie about, well, a group of monsters that fights with some aliens. Well, alien (singular), technically, until later, but then things happen...anyway. Being the animated movie that it is, the chance that a licensed game based on it was coming out was as likely as the sun rising tomorrow, and so here we have Monsters vs. Read More.
I reviewed Sacred 2 when it first came out on the PC, and it proved to be a somewhat enjoyable, large, though mindless hack-and-slash RPG. After playing the console version, I feel like I'd rather go back to what it was on the PC, since while the console version keeps a lot of the flaws, it creates more in interface, multiplayer, and graphics as well. Read More.
It will be a challenge, but I promise to do my hardest to not allow the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia affect my review for the re-release of this RPG classic. Read More.
There's something very primal about the Ultimate Fighting Championship fights that really gets the blood pumping. Whether it's the fact that some of the beatings these people endure are so raw and brutal or if you just like seeing some of the displays of fighting prowess these events have become immensely popular for a reason. Read More.
Let's get the gleeful fanboy adulation out of the way immediately - The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was, without a doubt, one of the best games released in the last console cycle. It was definitely one of the top games on the Xbox and few games have really come to match up to it. Read More.
Prototype is a game about being an absolute badass. That's the short of it, pretty much. You are Alex Mercer, apparent victim of an experiment that has left you a shapeshifting hybrid of man and death. You can run along the sides of buildings, leap thirty feet, assume the identities of others, and turn your hand into a scythe to cut a man in two. Read More.
While THQ has been relatively mum on the subject of their Legends of Wrestlemania title, which is scheduled to be released later this year, that hasn't stopped them from churning out another entry in the well-established Smackdown franchise. The series has seen its share of peaks and valleys, with last year's title being one of the company's more "average" efforts. Read More.
Movies based on books tend not to be good as the source material. Games based on movies tend to follow the same pattern. So what happens when you make a game based on a movie based on a book? You get Inkheart, an unsatisfying and short adventure title for the Nintendo DS. Read More.
The superhero open world game is starting to get real popular suddenly. Between Spider-Man, Hulk and Crackdown, these games are some of the best open world games out there. Mixing superhero powers with the ability to run all over an interactive city is a blast which is why we're seeing so many of these games. Read More.
