Battlecry seemed like my kind of multiplayer game from the get go. Coming out of a very positive presentation at the Bethesda booth, we quickly got our hands on time with the game. My hopes were then confirmed, even this early on in Battlecry‘s development. Heading this project is Battlecry Studios, a company put together by…
The Rainbow Six: Vegas series holds a special place in my heart as the host of some of my best multiplayer memories. The mix of realistic tactical gameplay and great game modes made those two games so much fun that it pained me to see Rainbow Six take a back seat after Patriots’ cancellation. All’s…
It seems almost fitting that my experience with the first part of Dark Souls 2’s Crowns of the Fallen Kings DLC trilogy – Crown of the Sunken King – began with all my equipment broken. I was given control of a standard warrior archetype wielding a Longsword and a shield, only both of those things…
Hellraid is probably the least exciting game when you read it off a press release or an E3 lineup. What could a medieval fantasy hack and slash offer that something like Skyrim didn’t already do to death? The basic premise is of a lone hero who joins forces with a powerful mage in order to put…
Flying Carpets Games recently debuted The Girl and the Robot, their first game out the gate, after successfully hitting their Kickstarter goal.

Race The Sun is a sort of open-world take on the endless runner. In it, you control a solar powered hover-craft and attempt to collect as many tris – blue, wireframe pyramids – as you can to get the highest score possible before the sun sets. The game is currently in open beta, so I…
If there’s anything that can be taken away from Nintendo’s showcase at E3 is that they like playing it safe. Established franchises are refreshed with new games, and even after years of re-inventions of an almost 30 year old gameplay formula and putting Mario in countless different styles of games, the series is still as…
The retro movement is alive and well in videogames and Dragon Fantasy Book II is the latest in what is planned to be a long line of RPGs for Playstation 3 and Vita. Muteki’s E3 demo centered around showing off the multiple storyline aspect of Book II, which evolves the graphical presentation and gameplay up…
It’s easy to point out clichés in any sort of media. Videogames are no different. Putting ghosts and a murder mystery is what Murdered: Soul Suspect is all about. Taking place in Salem, Murdered stars detective Ronan O’Connor. Unluckily for Ronan, things aren’t looking up for him. He was just killed. While death is usually…
