Note to self: If current planet proceeds in a fury of demolishment, make an expansion. The Dungeon Siege saga rages back to the "broken" land of Arrana to pick up what little the second to the plot left off. DSII: Broken World has a new race, new classes, new items and other content, but getting to the new foe isn't much of an interesting quest in itself. Read More.
When you first glance at Evidence, the game comes encased in a plastic bag marked "EVIDENCE", just like those you'd find on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, or any of other mainstream crime show. The packaging itself is intriguing and makes you want to play. After installing the first three discs and inserting the play disc, your monitor screen goes black and the logo for the group trying to capture the Phoenix, a serial killer that has been around for years, appears on your screen.

When we previewed El Matador at E3 this year, the game looked sharp. Not only was it a visually appealing third-person action game, but it was targeted at gamers of all kinds. From the casual player to the more advanced, the game promised to provide an exciting experience for all. Read More.
Do you have innovation? Do you have style? Do you have ideas to bring to the racing genre table? Please, oh please, could you submit your resume to Ford. This game is flat out boring, which isn't a very bold move at all. Unchallenging, uninteresting, unfulfilling, unrealistic, and unsatisfactory, Ford seems to have sponsored a title with many great concepts, but with a bad execution. Read More.
One of the great ideas spawned on the Xbox and carried over to the 360 and the Xbox Live Marketplace was the Live Arcade. The idea of being able to take a break from traditional games and just play some mindless rounds of something simple to kill a few minutes (or hours) here and there was a godsend. Read More.
When I was told I'd be reviewing The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, a game based on a cartoon that I've only seen a few times, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Not having much background on the game, I was preparing myself for a platformer of sorts, but what I didn't really expect was a 1-to-4 player brawler. Read More.
Men know that wars are not won by one solider alone. It is the combined acts of many, working together, that bring the battle to an end. Similarly, victory isn't achieved by sending soldiers blindly to their deaths; it's accomplished by making the right choices, recognizing tactical advantages, and deploying your resources strategically. Read More.
There's a lot to say about Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. It tries to do a lot of things at once using a powerful engine, but unfortunately can not seem to accomplish all of its tasks. What's left, however, is a fairly enjoyable game that just needs to be tweaked to make it much more. Read More.
Gangs of London on the outside looks a lot like something you'd expect from a company like Rockstar, it has all the feels of a free-roaming game like the Grand Theft Auto series, with a few new twists. However, this one isn't nearly as much fun. Developed by SCEE's London Studio, Gangs of London suffers from poor planning, repetitive missions, and mundane gameplay. Read More.
If someone asked you which role playing game is the most popular, chances are that if you're even somewhat literate in the ways of RPG's than your first thought would be the Final Fantasy series. Best known for their story line and balanced role playing strategy, Square Enix games are almost impossible to forget. Read More.
How often can you say this about a videogame: It made me smile? Well, LocoRoco made me smile. It's that kind of videogame. There's something infectious about it that makes you keep playing it, smiling the whole time. It's not hard, it's not long, it's not going to change the world or anything, but it's a breath of fresh air and it can easily be enjoyed by anyone. Read More.
The PlayStation 2 certainly has no shortage of titles to offer when it comes to the RPG genre. And Final Fantasy is king among the hardcore role-playing crowd. Every Final Fantasy has an exquisite amount of quality in every aspect, be it music or graphics. Every single game in the series features a fantastical storyline that delivers an epic adventure from start to finish. Read More.
Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave is the fifteenth game in the Nancy Drew series. You'll take the role of the fledgling female detective as you attempt to learn what's really going on in Hawaii in this first-person adventure game. Read More.
Let's get right to it shall we? The reason I loved the first Splinter Cell was because it allowed me to sneak around, take out lights, bathe in darkness and be nothing more than a shadow. Sure, the story was derivative and just an excuse to keep levels stringed together, but it worked. Read More.
