Review: Soul Calibur V (Xbox 360)

Review: Soul Calibur V (Xbox 360)

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...

Review: TNT Racers (PSN)

Review: TNT Racers (PSN)

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...

Import Review: Kidou Senshi Gundam Extreme VS (PS3)

Import Review: Kidou Senshi Gundam Extreme VS (PS3)

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...

Review: Trine 2 (XBLA)

Tweet First, take the physics-based puzzles of the LittleBigPlanet series and tighten up the controls to near-perfection.

Review: NFL Blitz (PSN)

Review: NFL Blitz (PSN)

Tweet Firstly, it must be admitted that we don’t live in as awesome an era as we did in the late 90s, in regards to “extreme content.” Entertainment today must be politically correct, so everything goes through the PR department now. Things were different in the late 90s. In 1998, the NFL was...

Review: Yoostar on MTV (Xbox 360 with Kinect)

Tweet I don’t usually think I have a lot in common with Beavis and Butthead, but after playing Yoostar on MTV for Kinect, I know there’s at least one thing: We’ve all seen way more Jersey Shore than necessary. Game: Yoostar on MTV Publisher: Yoostar Entertainment Group Developer: Blitz Games...

Review: Mario Kart 7 (3DS)

Review: Mario Kart 7 (3DS)

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...

Review: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (WII)

Review: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (WII)

Tweet For a first-party AAA game in an extremely well-known franchise releasing this time of year, Skyward Sword‘s fanfare upon arrival was remarkably quiet.  Perhaps the nearly year-long game drought  had something to do with it, or perhaps it was this game’s unsurprising year-long delay, but...
