Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 – Review (X360, PS3, PSP)
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 had a clear agenda of cutting back on content in order to refine the experience. Unfortunately they only achieved half this goal in releasing a shorter adventure with fewer characters and a less epic story. It’s still a great game that all Marvel fans will enjoy, but it was difficult to ...
N.O.V.A. – Review (iPhone/iPod)
Gameloft proved that the iPhone could handle a full fledged FPS just a few short months ago with Modern Combat, but they are far from kicking back and savoring their victory. Their next target was a bite-sized version of Halo, which they delivered. There are still some growing pains from the infancy of the genre ...
Star Wars- The Force will be Unleashed again in 2010
Last night, at the Spike TV Video Game Awards, a sequel to the popular game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, was announced…
Final Fantasy IV- Review (DS)
Just what is a perfect game? What defines perfection? Veterans of console gaming, especially those who have been spoiled by the high sheen graphics of the current gen HD consoles would probably say that a game that is technically accomplished to the extent that its visuals, sound and story presentation are so good that they cannot be bested, is a perfect game. It would probably surprise many, as a result, to learn that the closest thing to perfection I have played all this generation is not on the Xbox 360 or the PS3. It’s not even on the Wii. No, it is, in fact, on the weakest game system of the generation- the DS. And it is not even, strictly speaking, a new game. It is a re-make of a game that is by now nearly two decades old.

A Look at 2010 in Gaming (PSP)
2009 is the year which will always be remembered as the year when the PSP actually fought back. With releases like Resistance: Retribution, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Patapon 2, and Dissidia: Final Fantasy and the much anticipated (yet disastrous) launch of the PSP Go and much more, we can actually call 2009 an eventful year for the PSP. 2010, though not as eventful as this year, seems to be quite promising, and with titles like Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Resident Evil Portable and Valkyria Chronicles 2 set for release next year, the PSP looks all set to revive its library furthermore. Like we have done with all the other consoles, we will be having an in-depth look at all the titles releasing on the PSP next year.
A Look at 2010 in Gaming (DS)
The DS has had a great 2009. With releases like Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, Dragon Quest V, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks to boast of, we can very safely call this one of the best years the DS has seen so far. Definitely, this trend of great releases shows no sign of stopping, as it sees the releases of some of the most anticipated titles of all time, including the likes of Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, Golden Sun DS and Dragon Quest IX. Like our previous articles in this feature, we will be having an in-depth look at all the games that the DS will be getting in 2010, as it looks all set to dominate the gaming market.
Chuck Norris: Bring on the Pain – Review (iPhone)
A game based on Chuck Norris seems like an impossible prospect. How do you make a game out of a man who counted to infinity (twice), slams revolving doors, and regularly plays Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun? Just the idea of such a title brings to mind the same trouble had trying to ...
This just in on Tiger Woods Scandal: No one cares
In an attempt to drag a pointless story out further, gaming news has tied the Tiger Woods incident from last week into gaming. In one of the biggest stretches I’ve seen in a while Gamespot has announced that the Tiger Woods games will be unaffected by the scandal. Thanks guys, I’ll sleep easier tonight. The biggest reason ...
