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 Before we get started with the review, please allow me to state very clearly that Games Are Evil does not support piracy, and that all games shown in this review were acquired legally. With that little bit of housekeeping out of the way, let’s dive right into the review! Like many of you reading...

Tweet In Japan, Gundam is everywhere.  It’s literally impossible to walk two steps in Tokyo without encountering some sort of franchised product featuring the giant robot-themed series.  There are more Gundam console video games than versions of Madden or Call of Duty (by far), and they continue to...

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 I’m playing through Mario Kart 7 with a ferocity I haven’t had with the series in some time. Part of that was for this review, but the other is because I’m actually enjoying Mario Kart once again. I’ve made it no secret over the past few years that I hate Mario Kart Wii. There...
