It can’t be denied that Brain Shape Games' SCHAR Blue Shield Alliance isn’t nostalgic. I remember back in the days of high school when me and my little friends would clamber around Windows 95 PCs and play those old browser based shooters like Asteroids and some cheap looking replica of Galaga. When we look at games of this calibre now, they have grown so much in such a small time that even tribute...

Luckily for fans of the genre, developer United Front Games has given them something to burn away a week of summer in the form of newly released Sleeping Dogs.

I really wish there was more turn-based games like Hero Academy. Coming out last year in November for the iOS, the game has a great deal of charm in its aesthetics. The game also has a surprisingly good core mechanics that rewards a great deal of strategy and tactics. Recently Robot Entertainment decided to release the game with the Team Fortress 2 cast as a free DLC to the PC version. Is Hero Aca...

Darksiders 2 Community Page After a 25+ hour binge this week on THQ’s newly released Darksiders 2, I am finally able to give my opinion. After the great beginnings of the Four Horsemen’s journey through the apocalypse in DS1, does the highly anticipated sequel make the on-going battle worth fighting for? Darksiders 2 follows the adventures of Death, the second of the four horsemen who is on a pers...

It was only till last night that I noticed 24 Caret Game’s Retro/Grade sat upon the PSN Store. From first glance the game looked like a rather generic side scrolling shooter, but what came after when actually getting a hands-on with the game is a completely different story. You play as Rick, a head banging intergalactic space fighter who happens to have just saved the universe from ultimate destru...

Dark Sector's Community Page Dark Sector has been out for a couple of years now but it is surprising how well it has aged within the current generation of games. I felt it was justifiable to turn back the time and pop in the disc to give my own personal opinion on this sleeper gem. Digital Extremes had been around since the early 90s and had built up quite a positive reputation through their work ...

Binary Domain's Community Page It is no secret that SEGA isn’t the great company it used to be heralded as like back in the days when Sonic the Hedgehog’s name actually meant something. Time after time SEGA have shown that not only have they lost touch with their fan base but also that when it comes to games, they seem to not know what they want from their franchises anymore. Does Binary Domain br...

Darksiders Community Page It is not every day that a comic book artist gets to see his creations come to life. Luckily for Joe Madureira, THQ gave him full reign on what is now seen as the visual bible of Joe’s imagination. The question, is can Darksiders lay the foundations to yet another potential mainstream franchise. After massive hype that the end of the world was coming in our near future, h...

Prototype 2's Community Page With superhero movies running rampant this year, it was no surprise that Activision wanted to take a piece of the pie with the sequel to their dark and brooding anti-hero series in the form of Prototype 2. With a new protagonist taking the lead role, can Prototype 2 take the concept of its predecessor and go one step further? Apparently not. Welcome to the stage the ne...

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier's Community Page As you know games trailers are made to excite us for some kind of upcoming gaming spectacle and Ghost Recon Future Soldier was for me on of those potential games. At some point in your life you have seen a game trailer and said to yourself “Man now that was cool!” May it be the explosive battles that promised to pit you in impossible odds on...
