River City Ransom review
The main challenge for me when playing River City Ransom was simply surviving the trek between the second and third malls, as you have to travel through many screens and the easier gangs are weeded out in favor of ones that cause a lot…

Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition review
While the classic content doesn’t benefit from the same attention to detail that Nintendo might once have lavished on it, however, there’s some new content that’s quite cool. When you first load up the game, you can check out a special…

Max Payne 3 review
Max is hardly back on his feet, but he's stumbling forward as best he can, lurching towards the sunlight and away from the snow.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood review
I don’t generally play games to see what twists the narrative will take, but I do have certain standards. Cut away the memorable opening and the even more memorable closer and the story here really just amounts to “Let’s build up a team of…

Crystalis review
It's almost like you're playing an arcade game rather than an action-RPG when you're going against a guy like Mado, who regularly transforms into a giant sphere that erratically pinballs around the tight confines of his room. That’s…

Princess Tomato in Salad Kingdom review
You'll want to spray the whole Salad Kingdom with Agent Orange.

Assassin's Creed II review
There’s a lot of lore in the Assassin’s Creed series, but most of it was only generally alluded to in the first game. Assassin’s Creed II feels a lot like a remix of the first title, in that regard, only the story has evolved into…

Power Blade review
The situation only worsens when you secure a power suit, which turns any level into a massive abattoir. Thanks to the god complex that weapon upgrades like the power suit might give you, 90% of the game’s potential challenge is rendered…

Spec Ops: The Line review
And as the mission continuously goes awry and takes an increasing toll on Walker's physical and mental stamina, what was once black-and-white starts to look suspiciously grey. You've personally been walking over hundreds of corpses all…

Seirei Shinseiki Fhey Area review
Fhey Area was a tranquil land of warmth and peace, governed by a benevolent king and protected by a gentle goddess . . . until the demons came. A foul army of ghoulish creatures gathered beneath the blood-red sky, lighting the very ground…

Sleeping Dogs review
By the end of the game, the combat system has expanded to offer the level of depth you’d more typically expect to find in a dedicated fighting game. Counters, arm breaks, grapples, jump kicks, stuns, and even the environment all can be…

Legasista review
When you’re not advancing the plot, you’ll spend a lot of your time in random dungeons. Those dungeons are really the heart of the game, much like the Item World is in Nippon Ichi Software’s own Disgaea series. They come in several tiers…

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway review
It's the story of a group of men who just happen to be in in the middle of the world's most brutal war. It pulls no punches in sending them through hell.

S.C.A.T.: Special Cybernetic Attack Team review
I also feel I must note that it takes a certain lack of imagination to put together a game this short and still waste one of the available boss encounters on a generic shooter snake. What makes it even worse is that this generic shooter…

Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends review
This game has a great concept, and there's even quite a bit of love put into the campaign mode's setup. Unfortunately, its engine cripples the entire product.

Sengoku Denshou review
Sengoku is a trippy brawler that inserts samurai and folklore demons into modern-day Japan, interrupted by a few interludes where the player leaps up into heaven to fight even more monsters. This bizarre series of events is explained as…
