Review: Crysis 2
In: Reviews by Nick "Alsop Live" Dinicola
4 Apr 2011Crysis was a graphical benchmark, a game to which all others were compared. No PC was truly hardcore unless it could run Crysis. Now that the Xbox 360 and PS3 can run Crysis 2, there has been doubt whether this sequel would be as graphically intense. Rest assured, the game looks fantastic, but those high [...]

Review: Homefront
In: Reviews by Dave "Holy Goalie" Gardner
17 Mar 2011I really wanted to like Homefront. It potentially seemed like it had a very unique and intense storyline that had all the makings of a classic. But right from the get-go you can tell that this isn’t the premier title THQ would have you believe it is. Despite the trappings and the marketing hype, Homefront [...]

Review: “Nehrim” Total Conversion Mod for Oblivion
In: Reviews by Anthony McGill
6 Mar 2011Like so many others, I’m almost foaming at the mouth for a new Elder Scrolls fix. Unfortunately, there are two problems: The Elders Scrolls V: Skyrim is more than eight months away, and I’ve literally beaten Oblivion to death over the last five years. Thankfully, I stumbled across a short-term cure for my withdrawal: Nehrim: [...]

Review: MicroBot
In: Reviews by Chris "FighterAce100" Salazar
26 Feb 2011Have you heard of MicroBot? I hadn’t until I randomly started searching through Xbox Live Arcade titles one night and I think I may have found a diamond in the rough. This game has not had big advertising or much credit tossed its way, good or bad, but it’s a great, addictive little shoot-em-up game [...]

Review: Game Dev Story
In: Reviews by Anthony McGill
19 Feb 2011Back in October, this addictive little gem seemingly came out of nowhere. The original game dates back to 1996 on the PC but has been redesigned for Android and iOS devices. Game Dev Story is a game-development-company simulator in which you create your own games for a variety of platforms — and, boy, you will [...]
Tech Review: Turtle Beach X11
In: Reviews by Anthony McGill
16 Feb 2011Let’s be honest, the stock headset for the Xbox 360 is tolerable at best. It’s good to start with, but the construction and sound quality just aren’t up to par. Eventually, serious online gamers need to invest in a higher quality headset and mic. Prior to Pax East 2010, I had never heard of Turtle [...]

Review: Breach
In: Reviews by Chris "FighterAce100" Salazar
14 Feb 2011One of my most anticipated games to be released — one that I have waited patiently for — was Breach. Since I first heard of it, I was ready for team-based combat and destructible environments just like Battlefield. I was ready to dominate in some amazing maps and meet some great people. What I got [...]

Review: Dead Space 2
In: Reviews by Nick "Alsop Live" Dinicola
12 Feb 2011Dead Space is the definitive action-horror franchise of this generation, and that’s a tricky balance to maintain. Popular opinion states that horror works best when you’re ill-equipped to take on the forces against you, so any action would take away from the horror. Dead Space 2 (as well as the first one) proves popular opinion [...]
