	Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa review (PC) Reviewed on February 10, 2008 WARNING: This review is Canon.
	X-COM: Apocalypse review (PC) Reviewed on February 09, 2008 First, there was naught.
	Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 review (PC) Reviewed on February 03, 2008 When it comes to purchasing football games these days, you’re limited to a choice between this or EA’s FIFA series. With both series settling into next-gen, PES 2008 is truly revealing Konami’s complacency towards their product and a failure to deal with matters that are a constant thorn: laggy online play, shoddy presentation and limited options, but instead make more subtle changes to the gameplay. On plus points licenses are gradually improving, plus the introduction of a new team of commenta...
	Sam & Max 202: Moai Better Blues review (PC) Reviewed on January 28, 2008 It even makes time to take sly shots at other games such as Portal’s teleport system, Duke Nukem’s inability to release a damn game on time and Metal Gear Solid’s over-dramatic death-scream. You know the one!
	Pirates of the Burning Sea review (PC) Reviewed on January 26, 2008 One of the biggest problems with MMOs is repetition, not specifically the grind of gaining levels or earning money. Actually, one of the most abrasive elements of repetition is addressed in the little snippet above. With all the World of Warcrafts and Everquests and Lineages and the legions of similar games who only mix up the gameplay slightly, it's nice to see a game where with only one screenshot, you can see a big difference. Nowhere will you see dwarves with huge glowing axes, or spell casters, or half naked elf women dancing for money in town square.
	Medal of Honor: Airborne review (PC) Reviewed on January 15, 2008 To say that Medal of Honor: Airborne is the best game in the storied Medal of Honor franchise is an understatement. Airborne just may be one of the most compelling and entertaining World War II shooters ever coded. It has taken a long time, but it seems that the developers of this franchise have finally found the means to deliver the game that they've always wanted to create - a truly cinematic World War II game that is less about realism and focused on irrational heroism.
	Discipline: The Record of a Crusade review (PC) Reviewed on January 13, 2008 Long ago, some forgotten professional reviewer bemoaned the notion of a restrained hentai game. H-games should be outrageously grotesque and push the limits of good taste, he opined. Cum should fly freely across the screen. Orgies should abound. Discipline: The Record of a Crusade works towards that ideal by presenting stunning levels of repellent perversion. Where else can you watch a young lady savor a steaming bowl of rice topped with globs of semen?
	Everquest II: Rise of Kunark review (PC) Reviewed on January 12, 2008 Even when you leave the lush vegetation of Timorous Deep it becomes clear that the aspect of soloing is especially strong within the Everquest II universe, meaning you don’t need to scourge for a party before you try to take on even the simplest task. It’s an option that a lot more MMOs could do with including.
	Might & Magic III: Isles of Terra review (PC) Reviewed on January 10, 2008 Some RPGs strive to hold you by the hand from the first meetings with townspeople (''Do not forget to EQUIP your weapons and armor after buying them!'') to your final victory over the master villain (or in RPG slang, ''end boss''). In either subtle or distinct ways, the player is led from one town to another, one boss after the next, a bunch of quests in a set, clear order and if you're lucky, a couple of optional ones on the side. Then there's Might & Magic 3 which does quite the opposite. In a...
	Jagged Alliance 2 review (PC) Reviewed on January 10, 2008 The island nation of Arulco is, without a doubt, in the biggest mess it has ever been in. A mad and ruthless queen has seized control of the country and its mines, and money is her only concern. The population has been reduced to poverty, a well-funded, oversized army keeps them in check, and as the queen grows richer and richer, the once glorious country is in shambles. A rebel force exists, but lacks the weapons and the manpower to make a difference. But that's where you come in. Armed with a ...
	Claw review (PC) Reviewed on January 10, 2008 Speaking of challenge, there is plenty of that in Claw, but there is also a very well balanced learning curve. The first levels aren't all that hard to complete, and even somebody who has never played a platform game before will get through them with only a little practice. The difficulty steadily increases, though, and by the time you are halfway the game, every new level seems impossible at first.
	Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance review (PC) Reviewed on January 05, 2008 When D&D (and later AD&D) was invented, in the 70's, it was a game made for and by wargame enthusiasts. The 'father' of RPGs placed much importance on numbers and tables. This is probably one of the reasons that the first D&D forays into the PC were made a wargame company, Strategy Simulations Inc. (SSI).
	SunAge review (PC) Reviewed on January 03, 2008 Whether through great AI programming, great mission design, or both, I very often find myself outmanned and outgunned, forced to fight an uphill battle and struggle for every scrap of ground I gain on my objectives. SunAge's singleplayer is challenging, in a way I haven't been challenged by an RTS since I first played StarCraft.
	Bible Black review (PC) Reviewed on January 02, 2008 Bible Black is a vile, generally detestable anime series that's managed to develop a fan base over the years. What's lesser known is that the series is actually based on a similarly vile hentai game of the same title. The game manages to be a little better than you might expect, but not by much.
	Heroes of Might and Magic V review (PC) Reviewed on December 29, 2007 Throughout the series' history, Heroes of Might and Magic has asked one simple question: Might or Magic? Players of the turn-based strategy RPG have always had to deal with this dilemma, and this game isn't any different. Heroes V improves upon the old, combining the best features from all previous installments, but it also adds unique features all its own.
	Football Manager 2008 review (PC) Reviewed on December 24, 2007 You’ll tell yourself that you’ll only play one more match, only to play three more. One thing that hasn’t changed about the series is its scary ability to draw you in and keep you addicted.
	LEGO Island 2: Brickster's Revenge review (PC) Reviewed on December 23, 2007 This game was great when I was around the age level it was geared for. The puzzles were great and I never really lost interest in this game. This is how the story goes: There is an evil criminal called the Brickster that's finally caught after committing many crimes. When the police catch him, they put him in prison. After a while, he brakes out using an interesting strategy. I'll let you find that out for yourself. When he gets out, he creates havoc in the town and many other towns. Your name i...
	World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade review (PC) Reviewed on December 22, 2007 If World of Warcraft could be summed up into one phrase, it would be either "bait and switch" or "false advertising". To understand how horrid World of Warcraft really is, you must first see through all of the lies put forth by its developer, Blizzard. The first lie you'll run into is the classification of WoW as a video game. The second lie is that it's fun. The third lie is that it has actual content. Three lies, and we're not even past the box the game comes in. Get used to it, because there ...
	Unreal Tournament review (PC) Reviewed on December 22, 2007 The Unreal series originated in 1998 and was critically acclaimed for its single-player campaign, advanced AI and graphics, but its multiplayer mode was underdeveloped. This offering follows the traits of the original, but with a switched emphasis on multiplayer over single-player to rival its contemporaries such as Quake III Arena. Updates in 2003 and 2007 have updated the graphics drastically but still retain the same fundamental formula of open-ended arena blasting.
	S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl review (PC) Reviewed on December 21, 2007 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has to be one of the more unique first person shooters to be released on the market. The game combines the ideas of a traditional first person shooter, with a horror survival aspect, as well as some RPG roots. After a long period of waiting, will gamers be pleased to finally be able to explore "The Zone"?
