  • Max Payne 3 – Review
    After a long hiatus and a new development team Max Payne has finally made his return.  Max Payne 3 sees an older Max Payne who has gone down to Sao Paulo, Brazil to protect a rich and influential family from kidnappers, thieves and the like.  It was supposed to be an “easy” job however it turned out to be anything but that.  It didn’t really take long until everything...

  • Akai Katana – Review
    Side scrolling shooters are not for everyone, indeed most have a cult following and for those fans this genre is epic. Most causal gamers will play a side scrolling shooter for a while and then change it for Call of Duty or something more mainstream.  Rising Star Games and Cave have joined forces to bring us another one of these shooters called: Akai Kitana.  This game...

  • Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Storm Generations – Review
    Anyone who has a penchant for anime will be no stranger to Naruto Shippuden, but for the others who are unfamiliar it is a spin off from series 2 of the Naruto series.  Still doesn’t ring any bells?  It’s ok, you don’t necessarily have to be familiar with the series as this game stands on it’s own two feet more than capably without the need to know the intricacies...

  • Capcom Digital Collection – Review
    Back in the day there will have been one game that stood alone above all others, memorable for one moment, either in the game or the time of your life but no less important.  Then you revisit that game and the dream is smashed to bits, it’s not the graphical masterpiece it once was, the control system isn’t what it was and the gameplay, well, we’ll not dwell on...

  • Prototype 2 – Review
    As I’m riding along with my unit we are suddenly attacked and my whole world is turned upside down.  I have no idea what happened but when I came to I saw Alex Mercer in the distance.  The bastard that killed my family and the reason I asked to be reassigned to this hell hole.  Without hesitation I chase after Mercer and from that point on my life has never been the...

  • World Gone Sour – Review
    World Gone Sour has just hit Xbox Live and it is one of the more interesting titles I have played in a while.  This is a game based off of the Sour Patch Kids candy and as such no one really knew what to expect.  What we got though was a cute and quirky platformer reminiscent of some of the titles of the 16 bit era.  Going through the levels I definitely had flashbacks...

  • Devil May Cry HD Collection- Review
    One of the most iconic games in the industry has to be the Devil May Cry (DMC) titles. When the first one was released in 2001 it signaled a new revolution in gaming. At least in my mind, this was one of if not the first game I played where combat and art met. The interchange between combat styles, the sheer scale of the boss fights and the overall satisfaction of completing...

  • Anomaly: Warzone Earth – Review
    Anomaly Warzone Earth recently hit Xbox Live Arcade finally bringing one of 2011’s most enjoyable PC titles to console gamers.  This game is similar to other tower defense titles you might have played in the past, however, rather than play defense, Anomaly Warzone Earth puts you on the offensive.  The world is being invaded by an alien force and you need to figure...

  • The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings – Enhanced Edition – Review
    Has this PC Powerhouse role-playing game had a smooth ride over to the xbox 360, or did it get lost along the way?

Developed by Polish studio CDProjekt RED, the game follows Geralt of Rivia, a Witcher. Witchers are genetically enhanced...

  • Ninja Gaiden 3 – Review
    The Ninja is arguably the most clandestine of all adversaries that any army could face, terrorists are looking to take over the world so who would be better than to wipe out the threat but the stealthy, ruthless killer? Cinematic cut scenes, movie-esque loading screens, and the obligatory stereotypical Asian look in everything but the lead character certainly gives you...
