The rub with Rainbow Moon is that it’s a serious time investment. But for gamers that do enjoy a stat-driven, equipment-changing, side quest-completing grind, spending time with Rainbow Moon is time well spent, especially considering its costs a meager $15. As many contemporary RPGs dash in a more accessible direction,...
Pure Chess
It’s hard to believe, but Pure Chess marks the very first chess game on PSN for American gamers and the only alternative to Fritz Chess for those playing in Europe. Yet, even after five years of practice on the PlayStation Network, some developers still can’t seem to get online play...
Mass Effect 3
All told, Mass Effect 3 is an absolutely amazing game, one that successfully puts a bow on the Mass Effect trilogy while still leaving us hungry for even more. It looks and plays great, but Mass Effect 3's true strength lies in its ability to tell a deeply-woven story. Better...
Still, the game absolutely reeks of nonsense and humor, which is exactly what you'd expect from a team partially comprised of the squad that brought PlayStation Network gamers Fat Princess several years ago. Appropriately priced on the PSN at $15, Escape Plan is a worthy purchase, especially if you're looking...
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning isn't the perfect game. Its random technical hiccups and inconsistent art style certainly holds it back from even higher levels of greatness. But no matter what you're looking for, whether it be amazing gameplay, immersive storytelling or perhaps a riveting new world to explore as you...
Amy
If you want a downloadable game for $10, scroll randomly through the titles offered by your downloadable service of choice, randomly stop on a game and buy it. Your money will have almost certainly been better spent in lieu of buying Amy, which absolutely no one should play.
Disney Universe is a worthwhile investment if you’re looking to introduce a child in your life to a more robust variety of game beyond the “my first video game”-type titles that essentially play themselves. Disney Universe provides an experience that can be enjoyed both solo and locally with co-op, so...
Rochard
Rochard is a great game to sit down with over a weekend. It took me about six and a half hours to get through, and I enjoyed the overall experience. It’s certainly not a game without its issues, but it’s still a great title, and at $10, it’s also a...
NHL 12
NHL 12 is a huge game completely jam-packed with modes and gameplay features. Naming them all and going through everything would take this review into New Yorker Magazine word-count. And that’s a good sign, especially for fans of the series and of hockey in general. If you purchase...
One thing concerns me about BloodRayne: Betrayal. Many gamers won’t give it a chance because of the BloodRayne moniker associated with it. But it would be a mistake to ignore a game like this. Betrayal isn’t for everyone, but for classic gamers looking for a hard romp, it’ll prove...
A second playthrough with the HUD certainly provides for an improved experience. And the game’s aesthetics are its saving grace. But regardless, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron simply isn’t a good game. And that’s too bad, because it certainly had the makings of one.
As if it wasn’t already obvious, I loved my time with Catherine. In many ways, I was completely blown-away by it. While I’m sure some gamers will be turned-off by its anime-style presentation and difficult gameplay, I implore those of you who are looking for something authentically different and outright...
