KoA Reckoning Review: Come For The Combat, Stay For The Loot

This is a busy week, and one of the reasons is the fantasy RPG, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s a third person action game set in a fantastical world filled with elves, mages, trolls, and young men and women seeking out their destiny. Because that description could fit a… Read More

The Darkness II Review: Embrace Your Dark Side

All of us have a dark side. It can be as small as a kid harassing a colony of ants with a magnifying glass, to something a little more serious, like a John Wayne Gacy type. In 2007, The Darkness let us embrace our darker sides so we could avenge our girlfriend’s, err, Jackie’s girlfriend’s… Read More

The Ultimate Gamer Lounge: Billets 9mm Earphones Review + A Giveaway

All Zombies Must Die Review: A Fun, But Flawed RPG

There’s a chance you missed All Zombies Must Die!, no relation to All Orcs Must Die!, since it came out at a fairly strange time for a zombie game. If you haven’t checked it out or aren’t familiar with it, this is a zombie shoot ‘em up with a cartoony art style, some light RPG… Read More

Catherine Review: It’s Sexy, & I Like Sexy

From the beginning I knew Catherine was going to be a strange game. I just knew it. Call it gamer’s intuition, a premonition, or a simple judgement based on the gameplay, screenshots, and story I had seen prior to the game’s release – I just knew this was going to be a weird experience. Was… Read More

Bastion Review: With Great Responsibility Comes A Hell Of A Lot Of Fun

The first game in Xbox Live’s annual Summer of Arcade event is out and if Bastion is any indication of how amazing the rest of the games are going to be then this year could end up being better than the last. For the uninitiated, Bastion is an action/adventure RPG with a gorgeous hand-drawn art… Read More

Dead Block Review: It’s A 1950′s Zombie Extravaganza

I have a very unhealthy obsession with the undead. Tell me a movie, game, book, or porno has a zombie in it, in literally any capacity, and I’m immediately excited for it. There are no exceptions to this rule. I’m also a fan of playing with friends so a game that lets me fight alongside… Read More

FEAR 3 Review: There’s Nothing More Beautiful Than Brotherly Love

Since the first game, and excluding the expansions which I’ve never played, I’ve been a big fan of the FEAR series. It’s blend of action, horror and tight gunplay brought much of what I love about video games (namely gore, flailing limbs, and slo-mo gunplay) and threw it all together in a neat little package….

Shadows of the Damned Review: Demons Are Buttholes

No matter what I write here I just don’t think there are words to express how deep and unconditional my love for this game really is. It’s raunchy, funny, scary, and manages to take many of the things that made Resident Evil 4 one of my favorite games and give it that unique, Suda51 flavor…. Read More

Hunted The Demon’s Forge Review: It’s Gears of Oblivion

Hunted wasn’t really on my radar until I realized that it was taking a fairly ambitious step for fantasy RPG games: it was attempting to take the action heavy co-op and cover system from Gears of War and implementing those features into a fantasy universe, filled with witches, demons and other geeky stuff. I enjoy… Read More

Mortal Kombat Review: A Bloodbath to Remember

One of the grandaddies of the fighter genre has been lacking over the last handful of years. The last few games haven’t packed the same bloody punch the originals did and the last game that introduced characters from the DC Universe also lacked the series’ trademark gore. Fortunately for fans of both the series and… Read More

Dragon Age II Review: Sex, Sorcery & Sidekicks, Oh My!

BioWare is renowned for their remarkable ability to create interesting stories, characters and dialogue. The quality of their games’ visuals and controls can vary sometimes but the stories are universally well-written. Origins wasn’t a very good looking game and the combat was less than satisfying but the story it told was enough to make it… Read More
