Capcom has given me an excuse to pop Resident Evil 5 back into my disc tray. The first downloadable chapter of Resident Evil 5 entitled, Lost In Nightmares, was released and I decided to check it out. I enjoyed Resident Evil 5 almost a year ago, but with this new chapter I am convinced that the enjoyment has come and gone. This game should remain i...

If there's two videogame related thing that became played out during 2009 it's A) Zombies and B) Tower Defense games, so if you told me that in 2010 I'll be up all night playing a Tower Defense Game starring Zombies I would have probably called you a liar and cut all ties with yourself. But in hindsight it seems you would you have been right becaus...

The first BioShock was a critically acclaimed hit, and was highly regarded as the game of 2007. It introduced you to the underwater world of Rapture, put you up against Big Daddies, and delivered a unique and engaging story. 2K Games hopes to perfect the world of Rapture with the sequel, BioShock 2. Your second trip to Rapture will hand you a Bid D...

Without giving away spoilers, Mass Effect 2's story holds a quality that we rarely see in gaming. Few games have put you into a world where the storyline and dialog are even more engaging than the actual action itself. Mass Effect 2 is one of those games. You are not just playing the game to shoot shit up, or to race to the end as quick as you can....

Loss. It is more than a feeling. It is an inevitable, yet a crushing punch that will force its way into the lives of all. It is not the damage of the blow that defines us; it is what we channel from it that makes us human. Corinne Bailey Rae experienced an almost unimaginable tragedy in losing her husband of only seven years, the one person she had...

The fact that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is being released in North America is almost mind-blowing. Considering that Tatsunoko is a relatively unknown brand in the western world it was universally assumed that Capcom wouldn't be bringing the game stateside which forced avid fight fans like me to import the Japanese game and hunt down a Freeloader in orde...

After more than two years since it was announced, Capcom and Airtight Games are ready to take gamers into the void, Dark Void. The game caught the eyes of several due to its impressive aerial combat gameplay and the use of a jet pack. It's now time to strap on that jet pack and blast off. To infinite and beyond, right? Wrong! Now I can't go to Wal-...

Matt Hazards first foray into the video game industry was an abysmal failure. D3 Publishing's new action hero made his debut last year when Eat Lead: The Return Of Matt Hazard landed on store shelves to unfavorable reviews and non-existent fan fair. Eat Lead was supposed to be a "comedic" third person shooter that parodied and poked fun of all the ...

Hideki Kamiya, creator of Devil May Cry, has moved on from the days of demon slaying with Dante and the crew. He now works at Platinum Games and has been harboring a new vision for what the action game genre needs. That new vision has come to us in the form of Bayonetta, a slick fast paced action game with heaps of the unique Japanese flair and mad...

Let me just preface this review by saying the Phoenix Wright games are among my favourite games of all time so naturally my enthusiasm for this Wii Ware port may seem rather inflated. For those unfamiliar with any of the Ace Attorney titles they are essentially point-and-click style adventure games based on the wacky Japanese court system. Phoenix ...

Electronic Arts is kicking off the new year with, in my opinion, the best spring lineup for any publisher. With titles such as Mass Effect 2, Battlefield Bad Company 2, and Dante's Inferno, EA is the company to lookout for. The first EA title in 2010 is the sequel to the co-op third person shooter Army of Two: The 40th Day. The two mercenary amigos...

Since the release of the acclaimed World Of Warcraft franchise, the fantasy RPG genre has been redefined for it’s addictive gameplay and customizable character elements. Other notable titles such as Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fable would go on to further immerse fans in the realm and open up a world full of possibilities. Now with the start o...

This review also contains a video of the first 10 minutes of gameplay in Darksiders. It is easy to see why so many people would compare this game to God of War or Dante's Inferno up front without even knowing much about the game. The themes do seem kind of similar, in the sense that they are all related to religious and godly views. However, Da...

Although The Simpsons one of the most successful TV shows ever their transition to the world of videogames has been less than stellar. Admittedly their more recent efforts (The Simpsons Game, Hit & Run and Road Rage) have been  miles better than their earlier offerings (Bart vs. The Space Mutants, Bart’s Nightmare, The Simpsons Wrestling etc...

The developers at Relentless Software rarely get a chance to let their creative juices run loose.  Best known for pumping out an array of  Buzz titles, the only other titles under their belt include the critically panned DJ: Decks & FX and a few Singstar and EyeToy projects.  Blue Toad Murder Files: The Mysteries of Little Riddle is Relentle...
