Starhawk (PS3) review

When Warhawk was released for the PlayStation 3 in 2007, it was often looked to as the premiere title to showcase Sony’s PlayStation Network.  Now five years later, Sony’s Santa Monic Studio has released Starhawk, the spiritual successor to Warhawk.  Does the new third-person shooter have the chops to stay among the heavenly bodies, or is it nothing more than a shooting star, soon forgotten?

Catherine (XBox 360) review

A string of mysterious deaths have been making the news recently. The names cropping up on the television are beginning to hit closer and closer to home. Vincent and his friends discuss the deaths over a drink at the local bar every evening after work. With a girlfriend who has a job that demands much of her time and nothing else to keep him busy, this seems like a perfectly safe pastime until he begins to have nightmares. Add those to mounting pressure from Vincent’s girlfriend, Katherine, to settle down, and Vincent begins to feel like the stress from it all may kill him.

L.A. Noire (Xbox 360) review

From school violence to street racing to organized crime and the wild west, Rockstar Games has built a legacy for itself by creating titles with memorable experiences and lasting appeal.  In the wake of the Red Dead and Grand Theft Auto series, how well does their representation of a detective in the 1940s  stand up?

Portal 2 (PS3) review

The cake is a lie.  After Valve released the original Portal in The Orange Box in 2007, the phrase became readily available on the lips of gamers and their cohorts all over the world.  Seemingly everyone knew GLaDOS and how she forced Chell to work her way through a grueling gauntlet of tests before trying to kill her.  With such an incredible first outing, it can be easy to see why skeptics began baring their teeth at the mention of a full-length adventure with the same unique gameplay mechanics.  Were the skeptics’ fears valid, or has Portal 2 managed to knock it out of the park yet again?

Crysis 2 (Xbox 360) review

In Crytek’s newest entry to the series, we once again grab a rifle and don a nanosuit to take the fight to the squid-like ceph.

Players take on the role of “Alcatraz,” a marine who ends up in the nanosuit after his squad is hit by an alien attack.  Through a wild series of events, Alcatraz is led all over a destroyed New York City in an effort to unravel a couple of plot lines and stop the ceph invasion.

Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds Review

With the resurgence of 2-D fighting games in recent years, fighting game fans everywhere knew it would only be a matter of time until the next Marvel vs Capcom title would be released.  Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, was released in 2000 with a tremendous roster and bolstered gameplay, bringing the genre to an entirely new level.  When fans rabidly consumed the re-released game for XBox Live Arcade and Playstation Network in 2009, the deal was sealed.

Bulletstorm Review

First, Duke Nukem showed the world that shooters could be taken lightly. A few years later, Serious Sam jumped on the scene to again remind everyone to enjoy the fun an arcade shooter can bring. Now, Epic Games and People Can Fly want to remind the world one more time what games are all about: fun. Enter Grayson Hunt.

Knights Contract Review
