Review: Toy Soldiers: Cold War
In: Reviews by Dave "Holy Goalie" Gardner
13 Sep 2011Nothing gets Holy Goalie’s juices going like the 1980s. I tried the demo for the original Toy Soldiers, and even though it was different and cute to be fighting with the small guys, it just didn’t do it for me. Perhaps it was the World War I setting, or maybe it was just missing something. [...]

Review: Call of Duty Black Ops Escalation Map Pack
In: Reviews by Dave "Holy Goalie" Gardner
15 Jun 2011If you like zombies — and who doesn’t — then you need to check out the new zombie map for Call of Duty Black Ops. It is part of the Escalation Map Pack for the Xbox 360 featuring four new multiplayer maps, as well as the “Call of the Dead” map for the zombies. While [...]

Review: Brink
In: Reviews by Nick "Alsop Live" Dinicola
13 Jun 2011Brink is more disappointing than bad, though it’s also bad, but it’s more disappointing because the ideas it presents are really intriguing. Sadly, nothing works as it should. The promise of a highly customizable team-based parkour shooter is undone by bad level design, poor team balancing, a lack of content, and more.

Review: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes HD
In: Reviews by Leah "WhiteGodiva" Haydu
22 May 2011Strategy games and I don’t get along. We never have. I’ve tried many times to get into the genre, in large part because the marketing for these titles often tries to trick me into thinking it’s something I really want to play. Featuring large-eyed, anime-inspired characters peering enthusiastically from the cover art of a game [...]

Games You Probably Didn’t Play: Okamiden
In: Reviews by Leah "WhiteGodiva" Haydu
11 May 2011I play some pretty obscure games. I’m not saying that in a hipster, you’ve-probably-never-heard-of-them kind of way, but rather as a method of describing my style of choice. A lot of what I gravitate toward tends to be sort of strange, in an often distinctly Japanese way. These types of games aren’t ones I necessarily [...]
Review: Shift 2: Unleashed
In: Reviews by Chris "FighterAce100" Salazar
11 Apr 2011The first thing you might notice about Shift 2: Unleashed is that the name of the series that it’s part of, Need for Speed, is not technically part of the game’s title. Don’t worry, the words “Need for Speed” do appear on the box. Way down at the bottom edge. This is your first indication [...]
Review: Serious Sam HD: TFE and Serious Sam HD: TSE on XBLA
In: Reviews by Dave "Holy Goalie" Gardner
7 Apr 2011After being disappointed with Homefront and fed up with all the sissy snipers in BFBC2, I’ve been completely frustrated with Xbox lately. I guess I was burnt out on first person shooters. So I went on the hunt in the Xbox Live Marketplace for a new game. And of course, after trying out several demos, [...]

Indie Game Review: Mower
In: Reviews by Dave "Holy Goalie" Gardner
5 Apr 2011After a long winter of shoveling snow, we all look forward to spring time so we can get back to doing outdoor activities: Cooking on the grill, throwing a ball in the back yard, and hanging out with friends and neighbors. However, none of this is possible until you cut the grass. Yes, I found [...]
