Aside from a growing list of must-have games, the other thing I’d like to have this coming holiday season is a beefy new PC that can run bleeding-edge FPSes Crysis and Crysis Warhead at maximum resolution and detail without any hitches. Fat chance of that happening, though.
The next best thing is to watch how GameTrailers […]

Here’s something I didn’t see coming—Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw, the grumpiest gaming curmudgeon that mocked so many games this side of Metal Gear Solid 4, has begrudgingly admitted that Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is fun. Yes, the AI is shit and the GTA clone sandbox game is full of bugs, but it’s still fun.
I was […]

Game reviews have been getting a lot of criticism nowadays. Several of the issues raised are valid: that the ratings seem too high, that publishers wield influence in the reviews, and certain genres like MMOs aren’t fit for a definitive review. As the popularity of blogs and user-generated content increase, expect this sentiment—especially among core […]

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is no stranger to controversy. Perhaps what would be remembered most about the third-person shooter is the chaos that it caused at GameSpot late last year. Then-executive editor Jeff Gerstmann came out with a very negative review of the game, which ended up being edited and its video review pulled […]

I don’t know what Yahtzee has been up to, but he certainly is a bit late in getting a Crysis review out, considering that the game has been out since November last year. Then again, the guy is based in Australia, so I can’t speak for the timeliness of new titles’ arrivals.
After all, Australia is […]

If you’ve been paying attention to this blog for some time now, then you may have noticed that FPS Rantings is currently having a fixation on Gears of War for the PC. It’s only fair to feature the GameTrailers review on Gears, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Zero Punctuation had a lot of things to say about Jericho. Enjoy the hate.

If Clive Barker’s Jericho is capable of moving your bowels, then you may consider the game as art. However, the horror author’s second foray into video games is more reminiscent of a glossy Hollywood film—big on production value and budget, but rather shallow in depth.
It’s not clear up to what extent was Clive Barker’s […]

How does GameTrailers like the latest Call of Duty? A lot, I’d say.

I haven’t played Bioshock myself. Aside from the physical barrier of not being able to get a copy because it’s not out yet, my PC’s limitations (despite its still-decent ability) might force me a premature upgrade before I truly get to enjoy this new FPS.
The worst part? According to a few game journalists who […]

After that seemed to be forever, Brothers in Arms DS finally assaulted our retail shelves. To date, this game is the only World War II-themed shooter in the Nintendo handheld. Unlike the harsh realities of war shown to us by history in films and textbooks, Brothers in Arms DS is something that you’ll strive to […]

Generally at least. Of all the reviews already available, only one isn’t very positive. I included the GameTrailers review, so knock yourself out.
1UP.com thinks The Darkness is “a more polished game, and the base mechanics work extremely well by the time you reach the end of the single-player campaign. It doesn’t quite have […]
