Review: Halo CE Anniversary (Xbox 360)

November 22nd, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

But then there are those games that are forever burned into your gaming memories. The first time you were Mario. Your first Doom [...]

Review: Gears of War 3 (360)

September 29th, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

Outside of the Halo franchise, Epic Games’ Gears of War series was intended to be a major player for the Xbox 360. The first Gears was a (literally) bloody hit. Gears of War 2 expanded that success and garnered its own rave reviews, and the final installment looks to top things off. Gears of War [...]

July 29th, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

THQ and developer Volition had a pretty solid presence on the Comic Con show floor by showing off a demo of Saints Row: The Third.

Comic Con ’11: Gears of War 3 Horde 2.0 Hands-On

July 29th, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

The upcoming Gears of War 3 continues the Horde mode that Gears 2 started, and a playable demo was available on the Comic Con show floor. Obviously, the mode worked well enough in Gears 2 that Epic Games didn’t need any massive retooling for the third installment. A few rounds were available to play, so [...]

Comic Con ’11: Mass Effect 3 Hands-On

July 28th, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

The title of Most Surprising Demo at Comic Con likely has to go to Mass Effect 3. A video would have been expected. But a hands-on demo? It’s a sign of how important games are becoming at Comic Con. This was the same demo shown at E3, but Comic Con provided its public hands-on debut. [...]

Comic Con ’11: Kinect: Star Wars Hands-On

July 26th, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

Obviously, Star Wars will almost immediately come to mind when thinking about suitable game types for motion-gaming. The Wii held some solid potential, considering you use a lightsaber-esque controller, but it was Microsoft’s Kinect that got people even more excited about a Star Wars game. The ability to “wield” a lightsaber and use the Force? [...]

Comic Con ’11: Spider-Man: Edge of Time Hands-On

July 26th, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

Activision’s upcoming Spider-Man: Edge of Time feels like it’s going to be a lot more of what we saw in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. While not a true sequel, it’s pulling ideas from the game by focusing on The Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099. Use Facebook to Comment on this Post

Review: LA Noire (Xbox 360, PS3)

May 27th, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

Just a year removed from the successful Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar Games (along with Australian developer Team Bondi) is back with a 1940s police drama in LA Noire. Considering it’s based during a time where Hollywood was deep in the studio-era, there’s no wonder as to why this is one the grandest Rockstar games to [...]

Review: Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime (Xbox 360, PS3)

March 29th, 2011 by Alex Quevedo

After releasing Ghostbusters: The Video Game in June 2009, Atari is back with the follow-up effort Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime on the XBLA and PSN. An arcade “shooter”, it offers an original story. However, with no Ghostbusters movie release or anniversary to provide a reason for this game’s release, does it have enough to stand [...]
