I was a huge fan of the original American McGee’s Alice, a somewhat-fringe PC game that took the already-twisted story of Alice in Wonderland and turned it on its sadistic ear. A slightly-mad Alice slicing her way through evil playing-card guards? Yep, the gameplay novelty rocked, but it was the environments and overall personality of […]

Much like the game that inspired it (Rez), Child of Eden is a game that defies definition. Is it a shooter or is it a screensaver? Is it a rhythm game or is it an on rails shooter? Regardless of how the game is defined, it easily has become one of, if not the reason

It seems like every console debut needs a racing game to highlight the system’s power, a role filled upon the PS3’s launch by genre newbie MotorStorm. The choice was somewhat surprising, considering the PlayStation hardware is the exclusive home for Gran Turismo, but MotorStorm more than held its own. Its mix of on- and off-road

It’s not often that a sequel comes out and doesn’t just add a 2 to the end of the name, and when it does happen chances are still high that it’s the same ol’ characters and settings. Twisted Pixel on the other hand took a sequel idea, and ran with it while giving a nod

Nintendo loves to keep the mini game collections coming don’t they? I mean, they sell like hotcakes and help keep non-hardcore gamers playing their Wii systems, so why not? Similar to Wii Play, Wii Play Motion is a title that comes bundled with a brand new Wii Remote and a disc containing twelve

I’d been skeptical about Pixar’s Cars 2 movie since the first trailer hinted that it may be little more than a James Bond spoof. Knowing Pixar, I figured that wouldn’t actually be the case, but it was the first time I felt cautious about a film from the storied studio. I was also skeptical about

I would like to think of myself as a hardcore gamer, but more importantly an open-minded gamer. I don’t stick to one genre and turn my back to others without giving them a chance. You would be surprised on how many great titles you could have played if you pass a game just based on

Only a few movie-based games have ever fared well, but the king of them all is the LEGO series, which has gone from a “that’s cute” concept to one of the most widespread movie-franchise reboots of all time. Maybe the LEGO games have become too ubiquitous, but you’ve got to credit TT Games for extending

Rally is a sport that fascinates me, purely out of the danger aspect not only for the drivers and their navigators, but also for the fans. How many other spectator sports can you stand a couple of feet away from the action involving 500+ horsepower as the vehicles careen around dusty potholes corners and slide
I like to think I’m a positive person. I try to find the good in every game I play, even if it’s just a shred. But with Thor: God of Thunder, the only good I could find came after turning off the Xbox 360 and knowing I was done. Winning an award for “worst game
