Friday, October 10th, 2008

This game is quite the unexpected surprise. Tilted Mill entertainment is a relatively small-name company, but they have really managed to strike a niche genre that I for one adore. This game has Diablo-style gameplay for items and combat, and a unique citybuilder perspective rolled into one game. The basic idea is to grow from [...]

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

I’ve played Spore enough to tell you about it, now. I’m sorry I didn’t get to this sooner, but again, I was busy playing Spore.
Let me mention that depending on how much of the hype for this game eeped into your skull, there’s a chance it could disappoint you on a few fronts - if [...]

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

If you take World of Warcraft, remove the 12-year-olds, and add some whores (okay, a lot of whores), you’re left with Age of Conan. With some of the most impressive graphics to date (similar to those of Crysis), lots of voiced dialogue, and the best MMO combat I’ve ever experienced, it’s sure to please the [...]

Friday, July 18th, 2008

I just downloaded the demo to this game on Steam, and had so much fun that I bought it. For just $9 ($1 off, lol), it’s worth the cash. This game is essentially a Katamari Demasi clone for PC, except you’re a man-shape instead of a ball. You can absorb bigger and bigger things as [...]

Click to View "Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Review"

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

I have played many first person shooter games, but I’ve never played one like Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2. I haven’t played the other Rainbow Six games, so I can’t make comparisons (I do believe that this has altered my opinion of the game - if you’ve played older games in the series it will probably [...]

Click to View "Dawn of War: Soulstorm Review"

Monday, April 28th, 2008

I know it’s a bit late for this, but I’ve got to cover the latest installment in the Dawn of War series. I only attained a copy in the past few weeks, and have at this point extensively tested both the skirmish and online modes.

This is the only expansion to Dawn of War that wasn’t [...]

Click to View "Unreal Tournament 3 Review"

Monday, April 21st, 2008

One of the longest series in PC gaming history, Unreal has forever held a unique place among first person shooters. Since it’s rise to fame in the 90s, it has been the fast-paced shooter. No game requires the player to react as quickly as those in the Unreal series.

The most obvious improvement is the graphics. [...]

Click to View "Linux Games - Alien Crossfire"

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Before I even begin to cover this excellent game, let me say that it is also a Windows (and MAC) game, and was actually released for Windows first. It is categorized in this new series of Linux-compatible games because most games aren’t created to work with Linux due to the low gamer population. Without further ado..

Click to View "Conflict: Denied Ops - Review"

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Conflict: Denied Ops. Let’s start with the name, shall we? “Conflict” - this much makes sense. War is a conflict and this game is about war. “Denied Ops” - Okay, this is where they got me. “Ops” refers to “Operations”, typically of a covert nature. If they were “Denied”, however, then what the hell is [...]
