It’s about time that the Nintendo 3DS got its killer application; Super Mario 3D Land be thy name. Sure, the revisit to the Ocarina of Time was a great title but it didn’t quite pack the punch that Super Mario 3D Land ended up having. From the moment Mario game started, the 3D effect was used […]

The original Halo: Combat Evolved gets plenty of accolades for rejuvenating the console FPS scene, but it’s the narrative and multiplayer that have kept the franchise running strong for a decade. November 15 marks the tenth anniversary of Halo’s launch with the original Xbox, a milestone met head-on by Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, a remastered

Sports, dancing and fitness games seem to be the de facto “must release” genres for motion-controlled systems, a trend for which we have Nintendo to thank. It makes sense, since those are the activities than involve the most intuitive motions, but time and again it seems like those are the only titles that release. Ubisoft

I am apparently old and fat. Kinect Sports Season 2 throws another six motion-controlled sports at Xbox 360 owners, asking them to once again use their body as the controller. Either my controller needs new batteries, or I play everything from tennis to darts entirely incorrectly. I scoffed at the notion of Kinect Sports Season

In sticking with the stereotypes that the Nintendo Wii has, it was pretty ballsy to release The House of the Dead: Overkill exclusively on that console, but it made perfect sense as that was the best system at the time to have the best representation of a light gun game. Now here we are more

Straight up disclaimer on this review – I don’t know how to play guitar. I played ukelele 20 years ago, which morphed to a short couple month stint of using a guitar. Since then, the only musical expertise I have is pressing play on the iPod and a strange fondness for playing drums in Rock
Developer Beenox produced what I felt was a fairly well thought out and received Spider-Man title with Shattered Dimensions, so when Edge of Time was introduced and revealed to have only two versions of Spider-Man in it, I thought that things could’ve been tightened up and the gameplay solidified a little. My thoughts were still

I’ve followed Gears of War since our behind-closed-doors video of the original game at E3 hobbled a previous Webhost. I scored the first game a 90% begrudgingly, noting its outstanding technical merits but bemoaning its missed opportunity to capitalize on what could’ve been a great plot. Fast-forward to Gears of War 3, and not a

The Xbox Kinect is specimen of motion-tracking and voice-recognition technology, its awesomeness undermined only by an apparent inability to support no play space other than professionally-lit studios. Apartments, dorms, small game rooms … all have fallen victim to the Kinect’s warehouse-only space requirements. Enter Nyko’s Kinect Zoom, a magnifying glass of sorts that slips over
Having seen Transformers: Dark of the Moon release on Blu-ray Disc, it occurred to me that I never reviewed its video game tie-in. Call me skeptical of a movie-based game. Call me callous for taking this long to get to it. Or, just call me forgetful. Regardless, one thing you can definitely call me is
