I never personally got around to even play any of the Deus Ex games in the past, and being a first-person shooter guy in many respects (plus a role-playing gamer as well) led me to give the series’ latest entry a spin on my 360 for awhile. Now that I have, though, all I can say is that Square Enix and the guys at Eidos Montreal deserve a hefty load of respect for turning out a pleasing FPS-plus-role-player experience that’s part Halo, part Gears … [Read more...]
Mortal Kombat Review (PS3/Xbox 360)
Mortal Kombat is the latest game in this almost 20 year old series, created from what seemed to be their final installment. With Midway bankrupt, Mortal Kombat was picked up by Warner Bros., who shortly released their bizarre team-up game, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Mortal Kombat strikes back with its time tested fast-paced, bloody beat-downs and gruesome fatalities. … [Read more...]
Battle: Los Angeles Game Review (PSN)
Welcome to our Battle: Los Angeles PSN Game Review! Back in November I experienced the release trailer for Battle: Los Angeles during the previews of a movie. It was great timing, because probably a week before that I had seen Skyline and was ready to give up on alien movies for good. Just a few months later Battle: Los Angeles was released and while it certainly wasn't the best movie in the world, I thought it was a pretty enjoyable … [Read more...]

Two Worlds 2 Review
Back in 2007, SouthPeak Interactive released the original Two Worlds for PC and XBox 360. The game was instantly compared with Bethesda Softworks' The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion due to its real-time 3D fantasy landscape and non-linear gameplay. While SouthPeak had released several games before Two Worlds, none had aspired to be quite as much as Two Worlds. Unfortunately, the game was hyped up by gamers to be the "Oblivion" killer, and nearly … [Read more...]
Bulletstorm PC Review
Let's do a little experiment. Tell me what comes to mind after each of the following. Infinity Ward. Let me guess, Call of Duty? Okay, let's try a developer. Game Freak! Let me guess again...Pokemon? Okay one more. Epic Games. Now chances are, most if not all of you immediately thought "Gears of War".

The Ball Preview
I recently sat down and spent a good chunk of time with Teotl Studio's Unreal Tournement 3 mod turned digital standalone release, The Ball. It's a First-person puzzle/action game that, in a lot of ways, reminds me of a primitive version of Valve's Portal. Not, primitive in a negative way or that it's a "de-evolution", but more so in its thematic elements and settings. Let's just say that The Ball isn't about your trusted friend in science, it's … [Read more...]
