Farming Simulator 14 Review

The simple fact that there’s a game which allows you to basically simulate all aspects of a modern farming operation speaks volumes about just how far the sim genre has come.  Moving on from mere life emulators to nearly every other type of activity you can imagine (real and imaginary), there’s now a game for

Air Conflicts: Vietnam Review

Air Conflicts: Vietnam is a spin-off title from the little-known Air Conflicts series, by developer 3Division Entertainment.  As its name clearly implies, the focus of the title is in aerial combat, and for this particular installment, the deadly dogfights taking place over the skies of a 60’s era Vietnam.  While this might sound like a

BloodBath Review
PC

BloodBath Review

Taking a quick look at “BloodBath” it would first appear to have all the necessary elements required of an arena combat PC game.  It has decent visuals, intriguing character design, and of course, an engrossing, yet oft-treaded storyline concept involving your standard dystopia / apocalypse setting.  However, none of these elements are able to congeal

Call of Duty Ghosts: The Complete Online Multiplayer Review

As it was released quite a few months ago now, we thought today would be a good time to write and release a full review of Call of Duty Ghosts. While it might not be the best game in this series, it’s certainly the most recent, and as updates are still coming thick and fast,

NASCAR ‘14 Review

If you’re ready and rarin’ to jump behind the driver seat for another exciting installment of simulated NASCAR racing, developer Eutechnyx’s latest release is sure to satisfy…just don’t expect to see it on the latest consoles.  That’s right, opting to stick to 7th generation machines in lieu of making the jump to 8th gen boxes,

Die Hard Trilogy PS1 Review
Past & Retro

Die Hard Trilogy PS1 Review

The “Die Hard Trilogy” by Probe Entertainment represents a quirky attempt to briefly capture a bit of the magic from the first three films of the same name.  In the end, we’re left with a bit of retro goodness that’s both glitchy as well as fun.  Part of the title’s initial marketing strategy was to

Past & Retro

Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf Review

Sega’s 16-bit console is often seen by many retro gaming enthusiasts in an extremely favorable light. After all, we are talking about a company that was basically the only real competition for Nintendo (at the time), who was also intent on bringing out a barrage of games, many of which were striving to bring something

Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl Review

There’s three things you need to know upfront about this highly animated Nintendo 3DS JRPG title.  Firstly, it’s essentially a remake of the original game in the series, two – the built-in map making features make it very unique amongst classic-themed RPG’s in general, and three – it’s basically a two games in one package.

Stick It to the Man! Review

Those who previously owned a PS3 (before purchasing a PlayStation 4) are probably already familiar with “Stick it to the Man!”  It’s a very cloying title that melds some very clever storytelling with what one might consider classic platforming elements.  Don’t get the wrong idea though, there’s nothing saccharine about developer Zoink!’s production here.  This

The Golf Club Review

If you’ve been waiting for a great realistic Golf simulator that doesn’t mince words and offers up loads of options when it comes to creating your own courses, HB Studios’ “The Golf Club” is going to be right up your alley.  With its impressive graphical fortitude and lowered price tag (around $30) this game is

Outlast Review

It’s hard to write a review about a game that’s so creepy and frightening, especially when it remains so alluring and appealing.  By offering up praise to a game like “Outlast” (developed by Red Barrels), one is essentially directing others toward having their own nightmarish encounters with the terrible residents of the Mount Massive Asylum.
