It was less than a year ago that Dust: An Elysian Tail was released on Xbox Live Arcade, and while it wasn’t something for everyone, specifically because of the anthropomorphic animal cast of characters, it featured fast and satisfying combat. Nine months have passed since then and Humble Hearts is bringing our furry little hero [...]

DUST 514 is a big game with big implications. For starters, it’s a companion piece to the outrageously successful MMORPG EVE Online, which has something of a hardcore, cult-like following at this point. Secondly, it’s a persistent online shooter that does quite a bit you haven’t seen before, or at least much of, in the [...]

With the last retail installment falling short of expectations, the Call of Juarez series clearly needed a change to remain relevant and the move to a download-only game with a smaller scope has definitely helped it. Instead of an overwrought plot that isn’t very compelling, you’ve got a tongue-in-cheek storyline with Silas Greaves at a [...]

Activision lives their life a quarter mile at a time. Instead of consistently trying to wow us with impressive new IPs that will be around for the long haul, the majority of their slate are shovelware tie-ins that will be forgotten by the time the property hits Blu-ray. In the last year alone, the studio [...]

I admit I have a bit of a soft spot for space combat games. I feel like it’s a genre that doesn’t get the respect that it deserves. There are plenty of classic space games that I could list in support of argument that space games are just neato torpedo, but I won’t. Mostly because [...]

I’m old. Not to the point where I need devices to assist my daily functions old; but I am old to the point where I listen to music that people born in the ’90s can’t seem to easily identify. This means that I played a lot of video games that would fall under similar circumstances. [...]

When Resident Evil: Revelations came out last year, it was overshadowed by the impending release of console big brother, Resident Evil 6. While Resident Evil 6 ended up being criticized for a multitude of issues and is still routinely ravaged today, Revelations was praised as a refreshing return to form for a franchise that had [...]

Tiny Token Empires is a tale of two games — a perfectly fine match 3 puzzle game with some variety, and an incredibly frustrating strategy game. The PS3 version we’re covering is a port of a PC game, and it definitely plays like a game meant for PC that has been poorly transferred to a [...]

The planet is almost completely dead, just a round lumpy circle of dry rock. No life, nearly featureless, and doing little more than taking up space in a grey kind of way. This won’t do at all. With an effort, it conjures up a colossus that can begin the work or terraforming the planet’s surface. [...]

After a lot of drama due to THQ’s turmoil, Metro: Last Light has finally been released. In a way, its timing is perfect since so many have been able to enjoy the original game due to its super-cheap Humble Bundle offering, allowing anticipation to build for many in a fairly organic way. Last Light follows [...]
