So - I’ve long been a fan of the Conflict series of games. It started out with Conflict: Desert Storm in which you played a team of special operatives (each with their own unique abilities and functions) who performed various missions through the Desert Storm campaign. You had your rifleman, your support (MG), your Sniper, and your Special Assault (Silenced weapons and Shotgun). In general the game was great fun and was made moreso by the ability to play cooperatively with a friend (One controlled the Rifle/Support while the other controlled the Sniper/Assault) (more…)

I generally will try to be as fair as possible when I review a title and base my review on a complete analysis of the title in question. However, in Blacksite: Area 51 - I can sum up most of the game in a single word: Crap.

Now, I don’t choose this lightly, but the issues with this game are so numerous, so incredibly annoying, and so impossibly upsetting, that I could barely register a positive aspect of the game (Even now, I’m struggling to think of one) but, let’s break it down and explain my feelings.

IO Interactive and Eidos Inc. have provided a variety of extremely good titles for the gaming community. Kane & Lynch was hyped up to be an intense shooter game with a very good storyline and in a sense, it delivers on that promise.

I mean - it’s sensible to assume that a good shooter is going to take a bit of time to get through, but this game took me a whole like…5-6 hours…5-6 hours?! I mean, I know that it’s difficult to put in intense shooter action and not feel like its really dragging on, but there are times where I just have to wonder why it is we cannot seem to get a good 8 hours of gameplay out of these titles that are coming out these days.

Founded by the core development team of the Diablo franchise (Blizzard Entertainment), Flagship Studios had quite the pedigree to live up to with the heavily anticipated release of Hellgate: London. While some may not think it fair to compare the two games, Hellgate is in fact advertised as the spiritual successor to Diablo II, so expect quite a bit of comparison between the two in this review. As a hardcore Diablo II fan, I must admit that I am both please, and disappointed with the release of Hellgate. (more…)

Alright, so we have this really cool concept. Let’s take Dungeons and Dragons, put it on a portable system with better graphics than the Eye of the Beholder game and on a totally different platform. Great idea? Well, Kuju Entertainment seemed to think so and with that very plan in mind, they developed Dungeons and Dragons: Tactics for the PSP. (more…)
