Summary [7.5 out of 10] Assault on Dark Athena is a great followup to the award-winning Escape from Butcher Bay title landing just-shy of perfect due to what I can only describe as a lack of “balls”. The well paced levels, interesting NPCs and fun melee combat are all back, but instead of bumping the Riddick [...]

The bar for movie-tie-in games has officially been raised. In my estimation it began officially with Wanted: Weapons of Fate, right before that the Bond tie-in games were still a little weak, but after Wanted we had Wolverine and now Terminator that are both looking like pretty solid B/B+ games from what I’m seeing. The [...]

It’s about flipping time, but given the new trailers out for Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 from the VGA’s, I’d have to say that the PS3 is started to show it’s legs. Give them a peek: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Trailer God of War 3 Trailer

I am rarely re-interested in a game after watching a gameplay video, but the few times that it does get me excited for a title I like to share it with you guys — so you can pass your own judgment on if the title looks interesting or not. Below are two new movies of a [...]

Summary [8.0 out of 10] Silent Hill: Homecoming is a perfect fit in the existing Silent Hill lineage. Fans of the series will look past some slightly weak graphics and directly at the surreal dream-like settings the series is so good at like the Silent Hill sound track, well-executed characters and getting a great story and [...]

So the topless prostitutes are awesome, the slaughtering part is awesome — but did anyone else notice that the gameplay looks like a complete button masher a la the old action-movie-tie-in games? slash-slash-slash-GONG-<black and white>-super-murder-slash-slash-slash… boobs can only get you so far.

This came out of left field… I’ve never heard of this title and only watched the debut trailer cause I thought it had a terrible name. Fortunately, the game actually turned out to look really badass… for some reason it gave me a very etherial/Monkey Island/Dungeon Siege vibe; you guys notice that? Update #1: Ahhh nice, [...]

The first time I ever saw gameplay video for the upcoming Wanted game, it was the airplane level where the player curves absolutely every shot. After the first couple of shots it seemed to me that the game was going to be nothing but curving bullets and nothing more — overdoing the one gimmick that [...]

I don’t know if I’m just worn out seeing shooters that are technically beautiful but lack the micro-bits of polish that are the difference between “meh” and “holy shit”… I think these bits of polish are video-games equivalent of getting over the Uncanny Valley. Not that the models have to look more and more real, [...]

Been hearing a lot of buzz about this one, was never interested in it as it looked like a pathetic attempt at making an action game using tits. Now having watched the trailer, I have to say… that is exactly what it is. It’s basically Devil May Cry and the main character is a demon-babe that [...]
