X360 Review: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Posted on 07 September 2009

When I first heard about Batman: Arkham Asylum a year or so ago, I was actually a little worried. I’m a rather huge comic nerd, and Batman has always been one of my top favorites. The world of Batman is rather unique with an inherent darkness not found in many other mainstream comics. On top of that, the game is set in Arkham, a place filled with some of the worst villains ever pondered. Seriously, the Joker beat one of the previous Robins to death. So needless to say, I was rather concerned that the game would not live up to standards set by the comics. However, I have one main point to make about Arkham Asylum: boy, did it ever deliver.

Xbox 360 Review: Wolfenstein

Posted on 27 August 2009

World War II is an oft-visited setting in video games, most extensively the Call of Duty and Medal of Honor series. The Wolfenstein series has been around for a while, going all the way back to 1981 with the release of Castle Wolfenstein. The Wolfenstein franchise, however, offers a different WWII experience by incorporating the Nazi interest in the occult and paranormal. By combining the standard killing of Nazis with mutants and paranormal, futuristic weapons, Wolfenstein makes for a unique and satisfying first person shooter. Read the full story

XBLA Review: Splosion Man

Posted on 29 July 2009

You may remember Twisted Pixel, the devs behind Splosion Man, for their charming and accessible platformer The Maw, with the endearing little purple alien who munched up anything in his path. They’ve expanded upon the science-experiment-gone-wrong archetype with the release of Splosion Man, which features a spunky character who does exactly what his name implies - he explodes. A lot. Are you a bad enough dude to handle that? Read the full story

X360 Review: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Posted on 29 July 2009

Harry Potter has always intrigued me, though I have never had the self-discipline to sit down and read through all of the novels. I’ve opted to see the movies instead, even when they bored me to tears. It’s fascinating to think that they have gotten progressively better over the years, and the video game tie-ins have certainly followed suit. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is an entertaining (albeit very predictable) journey into Potter’s world, but it got me to sit down and pay attention a lot longer than the books did.

Retro Review: Radiata Stories

Posted on 22 July 2009

Let’s face it. You have a game that you’re secretly in love with, but slightly ashamed to admit it out loud. Radiata Stories is that type of game for me. I must have played this game over ten times, each time doing things a little bit differently. It’s one of those games that no matter how old it gets, you won’t stop playing it over and over and over and over and- well, you get the idea.
