Will Prusik — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 21:05:10 +0000

The Conduit Game Review–It’s Like Red Bull, The Game

Steve Anderson — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:44:28 +0000

That headline, of course, will require some explanation. If you’ve ever drank a Red Bull before, especially if you don’t do it often, what you get is kind of a sweetish, cloying taste (that for me put me vaguely in mind of chewable vitamins) followed by an incredibly twitchy sensation as the sugar and caffeine [...]

Will Prusik — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:02:00 +0000

Koei has been doing quite well with the Dynasty Warriors series for years now. Sure, they’ve got a lot of reviewers bored to tears by the repetitive gameplay and storylines, but the cult following of the series is quite happy with how things go every time. They’re certainly smart about how they sell it as [...]

Will Prusik — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 13:45:45 +0000

Isometric third person shooters were once as ubiquitous as FPS titles are today, being made for a wide variety of systems over the years with varying degrees of success.

Singularity gets delayed due to Modern Warfare 2 hype

Jeff Baker — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 07:37:22 +0000

Activision has made the conscientious decision to delay the Raven Software developed Singularity from 2010 to Q1 2010.

Fake Dragon Quest IX circulates torrent sites

Jeff Baker — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 07:04:48 +0000

When a game is as hyped as Dragon Quest IX, there is bound to be a leak. I mean common, the game was pre-ordered how many times, 2 million?

Battlefield Heroes review — mostly for kids

James Hyde — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:34:48 +0000

After almost a year of building up hype and anticipation for Battlefield Heroes, EA released the game last week to little or no fanfare — even the press release was bleak, at best. Not always a good sign to what used to be a highly hyped title. In case you don’t already know, Battlefield Heroes takes [...]

Jeff Baker — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 23:44:22 +0000

Even though franchises such as Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest have been seeing some ridiculously high numbers, it doesn’t mean that the Japanese gaming market is recession proof. Recent reports are saying that sales were 24% lower in the first half of 2009 than they were in 2008. While this somewaht makes sense due to the [...]
