Bioshock Infinite review: Infinitely awesome
We all know that a man chooses and a slave obeys; but what do his choices say about him? How do they affect those around him? Do they even matter, or is it all set in stone? These are some of the questions you’ll be asking yourself as you play through Bioshock Infinite, the sequel (at least in spirit)...
Trials Evolution: Gold Edition review: A bumpy joyride
Every child dreams of driving a motorcycle down a dirt road at a blazing speed, only to go soaring through the air, do a couple of flips and land safely in a box of TNT. When Trials Evolution first came out about a year ago, only Xbox 360 owners could live this dream, but now, with the help of...
Gears of War: Judgment review: Shut up and chainsaw everything
When the original Gears of War trilogy ended with the humans’ triumph over the Locust, it was pretty obvious we haven’t seen the last the planet Sera and its rich history of war. Epic Games and People Can Fly do not disappoint and bring us Gears of War: Judgment – a fast-paced and intensive action game that takes place...
StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm review: Pure quality, just like we’re used to
12 years have passed since we first played the original StarCraft when we finally got StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty - the continuation of the story of the Terran, the human galactic army. This year we get to move on with the story of the Zerg, a monstrous alien race and the second faction in the StarCraft universe. Above...
Crysis 3 review: Maximum mediocrity
In a sea of modern shooters, Crysis 3 tries to distinguish itself with gorgeous graphics, an epic sci-fi vibe and open environments with a breathtaking mix of a concrete jungle and an actual jungle. It’s a good solid game with a well-paced campaign, satisfying combat and seldom intense multiplayer; but something is missing. Unlike the iconic Nanosuit, the game's...
Aliens: Colonial Marines review: Mostly a waste of your time, mostly
The Alien movie franchise has always held the potential to make a perfect (or as close to perfect as possible) transition into a video game franchise. It was mentioned as a source of inspiration for dozens of video games (mostly of the sci-fi and horror persuasions) and even produced several of its own, with varying qualities. Sega's and Gearbox's...
Dead Space 3 review: Gut-splattering action instead of gut-wrenching horror
The Dead Space series has been, perhaps, the last resort for survival horror fans looking for a good mix of intense and creepy atmosphere balanced with just the right amount of action and a good story (not to mention the horrible monsters and gore). But as with many survival horror classics before it, Dead Space 3 takes the franchise...
The Cave review: Unearthing dark secrets isn’t always interesting
We all have a dark place in our hearts; that is if you believe the talking cave that serves as the setting, narrator and sort of antagonist in Double Fine’s The Cave. Yes, there’s a talking cave (and that’s not even the weirdest thing you’ll see), what else did you expect from Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert - the...
Halo 4 review: Multiplayer evolved, the rest not so much
Master Chief is back, and after 5 years (4 years in-game) of being stuck in space he is more than ready to jump back into the FPS arena. Joining him is his faithful A.I. partner Cortana and tons of Halo fans that have been waiting to don the green Spartan armor, grab their UNSC standard assault rifle and kick...
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two review: Bringing some color into your life
Everyone who grew up watching Disney’s cartoons has a warm place in their heart for Mickey Mouse and his buddies, and their unique visual style. Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two succeeds in reviving that love of cartoons with the help of a wacky sense of humor and a classic sense of adventure - it’s a game for...
