Too Much Awesome

Back in 2009, Rocksteady’s brilliant Arkham Asylum reinvigorated my devotion to the Dark Knight. Jump ahead a bit and here we are at 2011 with its sequel, Arkham City, and a whole new level of Batman to explore. I’ve played through at least half of the total game experience and have quite a bit to [...]

Oh Insomniac Games, if only all developers were as motivated as you. You have delivered a new quality title every single year of the Play Station 3’s life cycle. Let’s count them. 2006: Resistance: Fall of Man 2007: Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction 2008: Resistance 2, AND the downloadable Ratchet and Clank Future: [...]

It’s been a few months since I broke down and purchased a 3DS, but it only dawned on me yesterday that while I have played through The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, I’ve yet to give my full impressions of the title. Well, Zelda is still going through its wonderful 25th anniversary, so [...]

There are very few games out there that really get my gears turning and heart pumping like a good round of God of War, the epic tale of a one-Spartan-army and his rampage through the pantheon of Greek Mythology with the power of chain blades and quick time events. Praise him or condemn him, there [...]

The legend. The myth. One of the best arcade shooters is finally easy to get. The wait is over Radiant Silvergun is a long saught after arcade shooter for fans like myself. Along with Ikaruga, Silvergun is considered one of the “holy grail” games not only because it’s a really good game, but because it [...]

It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen a new BloodRayne title hit consoles. Not since 2005 if you look into the franchise’s history. But now Rayne has a chance to come back into the spotlight (or shadows since she’s a dhampir) under the guidance of WayForward, last known for A Boy and His Blob [...]

Just as the Summer Movie Rush comes to a close, the Fall Game Rush begins. Last week, we had nothing short of four promising releases, including Deus Ex, Dead Island, and War Hammer: Space Marines. In perspective, this is just the calm before the storm when we’ll get the even bigger releases later this year, [...]

I’m not much of an RPG gamer but when I saw Bastion previewed for the Summer of Arcade I pegged it as one I would enjoy. Most of the time my gaming expectations aren’t fully satisfied but this time they were exceeded.

Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade on Xbox Live is nearing very quickly, and while there are a few titles in that bunch that have me excited, this past week’s offers kicked off what will certainly be an expensive summer for me. Galaga Legions DX and Half Minute Hero were both released for $10 and I have [...]

Everyone and their cousin Fred have weighed in on L.A. Noire, and I thought it best to give a more in-depth look at the game now that the smoke has cleared. You have probably heard the basic premise of Rockstar’s latest interactive movie-game: As L.A.P.D. detective Cole Phelps, you sleuth and gumshoe your way around [...]
