Ridge Racer Unbounded is more of an offshot of the franchise’s roots rather than a true sequel. Looking to shake things up instead of putting out yet another straightforward pure arcade racer, Namco Bandai brought in the crew most known for the FlatOut series of racers, Bugbear Entertainment. The result is a flashy title full [...]

Men at War: Condemned Heroes is an interesting game in that it’s not quite a pure real-time-strategy game, instead it closer to a ‘real-time-tactics’ game. Instead of managing entire armies like a general, you’re controlling small groups of soldiers to do specific goals, leading to the completion of each mission.

It’s easy to see what Capcom was thinking when creating Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. While the series is somewhat seminal to the zombie phenomenon, tastes have moved beyond just the simple survival horror format to the more action oriented shooters like Left 4 Dead and Dead Island. Meanwhile 3rd person cover shooters like Gears [...]

Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations is the latest entry in Bandai’s “Ninja Storm” Naruto series. The game boasts that it contains 60+ minutes of new footage, as well as over 70 unique characters to play with in a variety of game modes.

For whatever reason, mech games have fallen somewhat out of fashion this console generation. Microsoft and FASA have puzzlingly decided to shelve the MechAssault series after a fantastic run on the original Xbox, and other promising franchises like Chromehounds met their end far too soon to really make a mark. One would assume by natural [...]

Let me open up by stating; I don’t like console Role-Playing Games. I don’t hate them, but I don’t like them either. I’ve tried, time and time again, to get into them, because so many friends preach about the awesomeness of these games, so I try and get it, understand it, and play it. Time [...]

Mass Effect 3 is the conclusion to the Mass Effect trilogy that started in 2007 by Bioware. The first game has what I believe to be one of the best endings of this generation. The second game, just like the first, garnered much positive reviews and several game of the year awards. Bioware has been [...]

Part of Sony’s push for the Playstation Vita is to expand its downloadable line-up with some cheaper fare, making it more competitive with the mobile phone platforms out there.
