Splinter Cell: Conviction
Tom Clancy and Ubisoft’s long anticipated collaborative third person stealth (and for some noobs, action stealth) game, Splinter Cell: Conviction, finally graced us with a demo Thursday. After quite the hiatus, the Splinter Cell series has undergone a serious overhaul on the mechanics of stealth gameplay, and quite possibly could be setting a [...]

Yakuza 3
There are few things in life more exciting than imported Asian video games, gang wars involving the Yakuza and fist-to-face action. Yakuza has been a long heralded SEGA franchise since the last installation, Yakuza 2, was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2008. Patiently waiting for an announcement regarding Shenmue 3 coming stateside, [...]

Final Fantasy XIII
Roughly 58 hours, a shade of white paler (if possible), and a poor excuse for a fine woodsman’s beard later, I stepped out of my quaint little man cave upon completing the marathon that is Final Fantasy XIII. This was my first dance with a FF title and it was simultaneously the most [...]

Blur
Blur is Bizarre Creations’ first racing title since Project Gotham Racing 4 (2007). After spending some time with the Xbox 360 multiplayer beta, I can safely say it’s something totally different. There will be no kudos points here people. Instead, Blur matches speed and aggression and combines it with vehicular combat and a visual style [...]

Battlefield Bad Company 2
When DICE released Bad Company, I made sure not to miss the action. The part serious, part slapstick banter that occurred during the single player was quick and the multiplayer component DICE has been known for was still around. Though a good game, I didn’t get the same feeling as I did [...]

Just Cause 2
Grappling hook? Check. Multiple pull parachutes? Check. Ample time? There is never enough time. Fresh to Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network, you’ll get 30 adrenaline filled minutes to romp and pillage to your heart’s desire in the Just Cause 2 demo. Not enough time to do everything you want? Don’t worry you will [...]

Resident Evil: Desperate Escape
When playing the latest Resident Evil 5 DLC, Desperate Escape, I am reminded of the fond co-op memories of intense ammo hoarding moments, where sheer anxiety and shaky nerves crept into the gameplay. If you haven’t read our previous review of the Lost in Nightmares DLC, you should know that we were [...]

Heavy Rain
It is rare when a game puts total control in the hands of the player. Thrust into the shoes of the game’s four protagonists, emphasis is placed on every single action, thought and decision, where even the slightest button press or thought can (and will) affect the outcome of the game. As one of [...]
