Worms Revolution Rebuilds 2D Worms Games from the Ground Up
The Worms franchise has been entertaining gamers for over a decade now. Its turn based warfare utilizing armies of annelids with ridiculous weaponry subject to the laws of physics has undoubtably stood the test of time. Aside from a few misguided forays into the 3rd dimension, the 2d gameplay hasn’t been shaken up as much [...]
Vanquish Review: Rocket Sauce
Ever since the Locust Horde invaded Sera, it redefined the 3rd person shooter genre and introduced to us a tactical shooter that set a benchmark for games to come.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Review: A Sloppy Good Time
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City may go down as one of the most disappointing games of 2012, technical flaws and odd design choices marring what looked to be an interesting twist on the franchise. I’m happy to announce that I experienced quite the contrary, as while RE: ORC doesn’t exceed expectations and fails in the polish [...]

How You Play the Game: One Assassin You Can’t Predict
With my target identified I rubbed my fingertips over the end of the hidden blade inside my sleeve and move silently through the crowd.

My Fight with Competitive Games
The only hobby of mine while growing up that rivaled my passion for video games was my passion for sports. I played as many sports as possible and my love for competition was what kept my gamer friends and I close during the offseasons. Looking back, I’m not sure if I was more addicted to [...]
SSX Review: Weathering the Extreme
Imagine chilling harsh winds, steep mountainsides of fresh snow and ice, and treacherous drops into foggy pits that probably contain all sorts of unfriendly jagged rocks.

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare Review: Nice Dreams
It seems with every release season there is a game which surprises you and leave an impression you cannot shake. I met Alan Wake’s American Nightmare with much reservation. When I first heard the story I immediately thought of Stephen King’s The Dark Half main antagonist, George Stark. This is what created a little bit of my reservation. I [...]
