Containment: The Zombie Puzzler is a puzzle game with a zombie theme, if it wasn't already obvious. The game-play at its core is color based, you swap two survivors at a time in order to surround the zombies on the map. Once you surround a zombie, or multiple zombies, with the same color/type of survivor, you kill it. Depending on what kind of zombie it is, that might be it. Also, depending on which type of survivor…
Assassin's Creed 3 is a stealth and combat focused RPG which switches between modern times and the american revolution. You primarily switch between Desmond Miles, from the previous games, and Connor, a native american. The story starts out slow but eventually picks up slightly. The graphics are improved slightly from the previous iteration, but it is really nothing to write home about. Those improvements are marred…

The art style of the game is fantastic, there is plenty of variance in the art style throughout the…
Diablo 3 was probably one of the most anticipated games of the modern era, beyond the initial layer of hype is a game that permeates a "more of the same" vibe and caters more to the casual crowd over long-lasting fans of the game. Starting out with the minor elements; the artwork is above average, the environments look good enough for the third-person perspective, the graphics look like they put enough effort in to…
The Jak & Daxter collection consists of the first three Jak & Daxter games in the series. This is not going to be a review of the games themselves, rather the newly created package of the three. The stating price for the three games in the bundle was $30, honestly a great value for three games that each give hours of entertainment. Each differ enough to offer a unique experience between the three. The main…
