Tweet The Force was somewhat strong with Soul Calibur IV, but it was held back by a combination of controversial guest characters, egregious DLC, and a fighting system that wasn’t very friendly to high-level tournament play.  Three years later, Project Soul is back with a new title in the...

Tweet TNT Racers is basically a throwback to the top-down arcade racers of the 8-bit days. If you’ve ever played a kart racer, or an arcade racer from the early 90s, you’ll know what to expect. Think of RC Pro AM or Rock n’ Roll Racing for a comparison. The sad thing however is that TNT...

Tweet What do legendary pitcher Curt Schilling, best selling author R. A. Salvatore and famed game designer Ken Rolston have in common? They’re all working hard to bring out the first big RPG in the post Skyrim era. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is the debut title from 38 Studios and is a game you...

Tweet Up until now there haven’t been many big video game releases. Don’t get me wrong, Margaritaville Online has its place, but it is hardly a hardcore title. Unless you mean hardcore drinking, but even that is questionable. Luckily the end of January means the first of 2012′s big console...

Tweet First, take the physics-based puzzles of the LittleBigPlanet series and tighten up the controls to near-perfection. Then, add in three different characters with unique properties and diverse interactions with the environment.  Next, paint the game’s world in bright, vivid colors and add one of...

Tweet The Vengeance and Virtue downloadable content package adds four new tables to Pinball FX2 for the Xbox 360 and to Marvel Pinball for the PlayStation 3, capping what’s been a successful year for Zen Studios in delivering pinball to the masses. The tables in this package are challenging and...

Tweet It’s ULTIMATE Mahvel, baby. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 launched to much fanfare nine months ago. Now, though crumbs of Pringles still litter the landscape and there’s still leftover Haagen Dazs in the fridges of fighting game fans worldwide, a new update (more than an add-on, less than a sequel)...

Tweet The Saints Row franchise is one that is easily looked over or dismissed. On the surface it appears to be just another Grand Theft Auto ripoff. Both franchises are third-person open world games taking place in a city that you and your gang are attempting to take over. In that respect Saints Row: The...
