Red Dead Redemption

Posted on June 9, 2010 in: followup

The days of saloon gals, grimy gunslingers and snake oil salesmen are long gone, but a bit of Western lives on in all of us. It a subject that hasn’t been explored too much, apart from films, but in games it’s somewhat of a rarity. Who doesn’t want to go back to the days where [...]

Dark Void

Posted on January 22, 2010 in: followup

Mikestrife’s review pretty much covered everything I have to say about this game. In my idea Airtight Games made a big mistake, starting off the game in a way that it looks similar and thus comparable with Uncharted. Once your brain made the connection its difficult to avoid judging it. If it wasn’t because of [...]

Tornado Outbreak

Posted on October 22, 2009 in: followup

Let’s not even beat around the bush here, Tornado Outbreak is a game that’s trying to cash in on the success of the Katamari series. The concepts are nearly exactly the same. Enough has been changed to make Tornado Outbreak feel like it’s on game, but most of those changes are not for the better. [...]

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

Posted on October 19, 2009 in: followup

I like the name of this game. It makes it sound like you get to play Ryu or Ken from Street Fighter in a Counterstrike game, and shryuken terrorists. Seriously though, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is a very different kind of FPS. It’s a realistic, tactical, squad based, fps. Which isn’t the type of game [...]

G-Force

Posted on August 19, 2009 in: followup

G-Force is both a kids game and movie tie in, which rarely makes for a good game. However, a lot of care went into the G-Force game and the developers have crafted a game that’s fun to play and doesn’t fall into the usual trappings of movie tie in games. I don’t know the movie [...]

Fat Princess

Posted on August 4, 2009 in: followup

Since this game was announced there was no doubt it would be a huge hit. Thankfully they delivered the experience that we were expecting. Fat Princess is a very interesting take on the tried and true capture the flag game type. There’s a lot of strategy involved and the class system really reminds of something [...]

I have complete faith in Sucker Punch to make a fantastic game. I also LOVED Crackdown, which is similar to this in that it’s an open world sandbox game, where you play someone with super powers. So I bought this game day one. I didn’t regret that purchase. There are very few games that inspire [...]

Battlefield 1943

Battlefield 1943

Posted on July 16, 2009 in: followup

The floodgates seemed to have been blown wide open for budget downloadable multiplayer FPS titles. First we had CellFactor, and then Punisher, now Battlefield 1943 is out. I have to admit that I hadn’t played a Battlefield game until Bad Company came out. I rarely heard about the franchise until then, but shortly after its [...]
