A friend recently asked me, “Will Dragon Age blow me away?” Well, my review of Dragon Age has to start with this caveat: There is very little competition in the serious RPG genre these days.
I mean, on Xbox 360 there is Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion as the forerunner. What else has there been? Two Worlds, which I [...]
The lastest Worms game was released this week on Xbox Live; I’m still a sucker for this game, even though I’ve been playing it since the first release on Amiga way back in 1994… it never really seems to get old to me. Although they’ve called it Worms 2: Armageddon, it shouldn’t be confused with [...]
Ghostbusters hit the screens when I was a pre-teen, and instantly became one of my all-time favourite films. Now, when I first heard about Ghostbusters: The Video Game, I wasn’t sure what to think — movie-related games are rarely very good. But when it was said that Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis would be penning [...]

I’ve always thought of board games as a fun thing to do together; but I have to admit, it drives me crazy to sit and play a board game that is based 100% on the roll of the dice, with little or no skill [...]

Excellent air combo mechanics and forgiving difficulty level make you feel like a superhero. Love the symbiote plotline, the choices you are given, and the ability to change into the black suit at will [...]
As a big fan of the newer Prince of Persia: Sands of Time games, this game is a huge disappointment. It feels like a “kiddie” version in every way: the cartoony art, the corny accent-free dialog, the simplified battles, not to mention the fact that you can never die. It doesn’t feel anywhere near as [...]
A surprisingly entertaining documentary considering the subject matter. Later investigation reveals that maybe the producers fudged the truth a bit, but it’s hard to argue when their version of the story is so much more fun to watch. It’s less about video games and high scores than it is about being an [...]
