Zeno Clash is...weird. Weird in a good way, a great way, a wonderful way. The look, the feel, the places you go and see, the characters you encounter are truly the highlight of this game. The combat however was less enjoyable than it should have been. The game is simple. You play as Ghat, you killed your Father-Mother, and as a result your brothers and sisters are chasing after you. Also you have a nice looking and…
I had a hard time articulating my feelings while playing it, having really loved GTAIV and The Ballad of Gay Tony. Lost and Damned starts off interestingly enough, with The Lost Motorcycle Gang receiving their leader now released from prison and heroin free. Things quickly return to old news as Johnny Klebitz (that's you) has to deal with everybody's bullshit. Luckily he's got a few good friends in the MC to back…
Read the full review A quality performance marred by gunplay balance and plot issues.
Droptliz can be best described as the love child of pipe dream and Pachinko. Depending on the board chosen, a grid of circles encasing pipes are laid out below these droppers. Like their namesake little...droplets travel down the pipes into the bottom. The goal of the game is simply to spin the grid of pipes to create connections between the droppers and the catchers at the bottom. Lastly the droplets split into two…
Mafia II is a game that seems to be very divisive for good reason. It puts together a lot of basic elements at the core of a mobster tale that admittedly isn't terribly unique. Upon release the game got a middling review from this site and a wide variety of interpretations from other reviewers and forum posters. Knowing that people considered the original Mafia a classic on PC, I just had to know for myself if this…
F.E.A.R. 2: Project is the follow-up to the amazingly satisfying horror-shooter F.E.A.R. Having enjoyed that game for its combat and tone, I was excited to see what would come of the sequel after Monolith regained the rights to the license name. Needless to say there were high hopes they would deliver on the rare breed of horror-theme d first-person shooter revived by the original game. Luckily they managed to pull…
Let's not dance around the obvious. Shatter is part of the Arkanoid / Breakout family tree. However I must say it is the best and most modernized Arkanoid-esque game I've ever played. What sets this game apart? Well it's the fact that you can suck and blow (I'll explain). Your paddle you play as can shoot out a ball to break up bricks but can also suck and blow air to manipulate the trajectory of the ball. However…
Art design is impeccable. I heard good things about this game many years ago from the IGF and other word of mouth methods but if a game is worth playing, it usually has to come to me which it did when during one of Steam's infamous sales. I'm glad I did buy it because And Yet It Moves is a surprisingly creative and well executed platformer that I would recommend playing or at the very least trying out. Let's start…
I must be honest and say I bought this game for a dollar from one of those infamous Steam sales everyone keeps hearing about. However knowing the regular retail price is $20, I will evaluate the product from that price point. Keeping that in mind the game is good but lacks certain features that would have made it a more worthwhile purchase. I am breaking my own code and writing mostly about what's in the game…

As an industry and genre standard, Battefield is pretty up there for open map class based multiplayer first person shooters. Years ago a free game came out that decided to take that type of game and mix it with Wolfenstein. The sequel to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is of course Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. The expected standard is here in the form of basic structure. You pick a class, run around the map shooting…
