It seems that the open world superpowers sandbox game is starting to make a return. Since Spider Man 2 got it down back in 2004, games have tried to get a similar style. With Spider Man 3 and Infamous being two of the more recent entries into this genre, how does the other contender, Prototype, hold up? Prototype puts you in the roll of Alex Mercer, who wakes up to find himself in a morgue about to be dissected,…
Reviving old and forgotten genres of games seems to be the new thing as of late. We have Geometry Wars reviving the duel-stick shooter genre, Braid and Trine bringing back 2D platformers and well… whatever other old lost genre. Shatter is the newest attempt at this, with Sidhe Interactive attempting to bring back the long forgotten and dormant brick-breaking genre. Some of you may remember past games like Breakout…
Every now and then a game gets released that is an obvious beta. It has issues like having many glitches and having awful gameplay and graphics. I’m talking about this because, clearly, Damnation is one of those games.

Unfortunately, he gets back home just in time to see his step-dad and mom dead, and for his step-uncle to walk in. His step-uncle, Reverend Ray McCall, assumes that Billy…

Covenant was a game that had a fun battle system, crazy cast of characters and, well… A story that, while interesting, was a bit to straightforward for my tastes. There were just not enough twists to keep me hooked. Still, it was a fun game and I enjoyed it. But this review is suppose to be about the third game in…
I'll admit before I start this review: I never saw Godfather Part II. According to Wikipedia, this game is based off of that movie. Ok, I'll let Wikipedia say that it is. I'm here reviewing a game anyway, and not a movie. So I'll get right into things. The Godfather II starts off in Havana, Cuba during the year 1958. You play as Dominic. You have no last name. I guess you're just cool that way. The game lets you…
