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: Pinball FX2
In: Reviews by Nicholas "Heartbreak Ridge" Sylvain
6 Dec 2010Though I grew up in a “Golden Age” of arcades, full of Pac Man, Donkey Kong and the like and spent my quarters on the new hotness, there would usually be at least a few pinball machines in the corner of the arcades that I’d frequent. I always was a little bit fascinated by them, [...]

Review: Costume Quest
In: Reviews by Nicholas "Heartbreak Ridge" Sylvain
17 Nov 2010In the wake of the cancellation of a Brütal Legend sequel, Tim Schafer announced this past July that Double Fine’s next four games will be a mix of downloadable and retail games and that their future offerings would be smaller in scope than a triple-A game. A light and fun turn-based role-playing game set on [...]

Review: Lab Rabbit
In: Reviews by Nicholas "Heartbreak Ridge" Sylvain
26 Oct 2010I have never much explored the Indie Games section of Xbox Live (formerly known as Community Games)— partly because I’m already swimming in too many games I want to play and partly because the indie space is its own ocean of gems and dross. It is a bit easier to find interesting games, and more [...]

Review: Super Meat Boy
In: Reviews by Nick "Alsop Live" Dinicola
20 Oct 2010Super Meat Boy is weird in the most wonderful ways. You play as a block of meat for one. Also your girlfriend is a bandage, and your nemesis is a fetus in a jar wearing a tuxedo and monocle (just for clarification, the jar is in the suit, not the fetus). It all sounds disgusting, [...]

Review: Comic Jumper
In: Reviews by Nicholas "Heartbreak Ridge" Sylvain
13 Oct 2010“Did that game just use dill-hole in a sentence? – My Lovely Wife If games were movies, Comic Jumper would justly look to win Oscars for art direction, cinematography, and costume design. As a platformer that at times feels like a twin-stick shooter, Comic Jumper demands your attention with its visual style from the very [...]

Review: Gravitron 360 (XBLA)
In: op ed by Zachary Maynard
16 Sep 2010Let’s start off with this review by doing something right now. Take your wallet out. Place a dollar on your keyboard, and listen up. Now, what can you do with that dollar? Buy a soda? A candy bar? Maybe two rounds of Galaga? Well let me tell ya, there’s another great indie title on XBLA. [...]

Review: Risk: Factions
In: Reviews by Chris "FighterAce100" Salazar
2 Aug 2010I have always been a big fan of board games, especially when you can play with more than just two players, and what better than a long and drawn out game of Risk? You know, the five hour investment it takes to even come close to winning? Yawn. Now Hasbro and EA games released a [...]
