  • Mortal Kombat Review (PS Vita)

    A franchise with a long history, Mortal Kombat is one of the biggest fighting titles to date. The revitalization of the series hit the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 last year, and it's now bringing its gory goodness to the PlayStation Vita. Iconic kombatants like Scorpion and Sub-Zero join up with Play...

  • Tales of Graces f Review

    One thing that the PlayStation 3 lacks, among some other debatable topics, is a vast collection of Japanese role-playing games. The major ones are Final Fantasy XIII and Hyperdimensional (something or other, I can't remember right now) and the single Star Ocean outing. But because of reasons out of ...

  • The House of the Dead 4 Review

    SEGA’s arcade pedigree speaks for itself, with the venerable Japanese game maker having pumped out a boatload of genre staples over the past couple of decades, from pioneering beat-‘em-up Virtua Fighter to adrenaline-fuelled racer Daytona USA. The House of the Dead, which debuted in 1998...

  • Skullgirls Review

    In today’s world of 3D rendered, $60 retail fighting games, it always surprises me to see studios putting out games that a) are 2D and have hand drawn animation, and b) are download only. Seeing a game that comes along and does both is mind boggling, in the best way. Skullgirls has quite the o...

  • Ridge Racer Review (PS Vita)

    Ridge Racer has been a title that's graced console launches since the original PlayStation, but this installment didn't come out until a month after the First Edition PlayStation Vitas released. I'd also care to wager that long-time gamers know the potential danger behind a delayed release: the game...

  • Ridge Racer Unbounded Review

    There is something about smashing a sports-infused glossy black car through a building to create a shortcut that is so satisfying. If you can throw in high-action cutscenes, turbo-charged car combat, and an expansive and unique online element, you have the formula for an amazingly entertaining r...

  • Supremacy MMA Unleashed Review (PS Vita)

    Cage fighting is no longer an underground interest, since we now have two big leagues on television. One of which is Mixed Martial Arts. I can't say that I know much about cage fighting, outside of the fact that it's always been entertaining to see two opponents go into a confined location and see w...

  • Street Fighter X Tekken Review

    It seems that by now, it doesn't need to be said that Capcom is atop the fighting game genre. Now thriving, the genre was revived, so to speak, earlier this generation with the release of Street Fighter 4. However, prior to said game’s release, there was a noticeable lull in the genre compared...

  • Silent Hill: Downpour Review

    Debuting in 1999, Silent Hill has consistently remained one of Survival Horror’s tent pole franchises alongside fellow Capcom juggernaut Resident Evil. However, while in the past half a decade or so many series have slowly made the transition into full-blown action territory. Konami’...

  • LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 Review (PS Vita)

    Few other modern characters have united fans both young and old like Harry Potter. The boy-wizard stars in a series of books turned movies, he has amusement park rides dedicated to his adventures, and he even has a host of videogames to retell the entire saga. Yet, despite marketing to kids, Har...

  • Zack Zero Review

    Zack Zero doesn’t have much of a personality, granted. In fact, he barely raises an eyebrow or opens his mouth throughout his side-scrolling, platform-hopping adventure. However, the intergalactic explorer doesn’t really need to set the world on fire with a bubbly character or cute comed...

  • I Am Alive Review

    In this latest offering from Ubisoft, the player is thrust into the role of a survivor of a city-wide disaster. Quite what it is exactly you survived remains a mystery, but it was a helluva “EVENT,” which is what you will hear it referred to throughout the game. Likewise your name is als...

  • Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations Review

    I have always been a decent Naruto fan, not quite going to the lengths of making costumes and cosplaying, but when I ran out of English dubbed episodes of the popular anime, I quickly and eagerly moved onto the Japanese subtitled ones. I made it through most of Shippuden before I finally lost intere...

  • Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Review

    One of the finest survival horror franchises has been dumped on from a great height, at least until Resident Evil 6 comes along, we hope. While you can’t really blame Capcom for taking its popular franchise and trying to widen its appeal among Western gamers, spin-offs rarely work and the expe...

  • Dynasty Warriors Next Review

    With fear of potentially having Dynasty Warriors lovers cursing my entire namesake, I'm a bit ashamed to say that I had never played a Dynasty Warriors game until I picked up Dynasty Warriors Next. Every time I saw my friends playing it, it always looked like a bunch of enemies standing around while...

  • Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus Review

    Ninja Gaiden was originally released on March 2, 2004, and it was accepted far and wide for its innovative gameplay and its incredibly high difficulty. Since then, it’s been remade for the PlayStation 3 as Ninja Gaiden Sigma and now for the PlayStation Vita as Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus. This &ld...

  • Binary Domain Review

    If only it were that easy. Honestly though, Binary Domain is a wonderful example of a lower profile game making a name for itself through polish and flare. Set in 2080, global warming and other environmental factors have led to mass flooding of the planet. As a result, the survivors of the flood wer...

  • Mass Effect 3 Review

    One of the most poignant moments of Mass Effect 3 took place 10 minutes into the game. Cautiously making his way through a dilapidated building in the midst of a Reaper invasion, Commander Shepard spies a young boy taking refuge in a nearby ventilation duct. Clearly terrified, the lad finds litt...

  • Jak and Daxter Collection Review

    This home console generation’s jump from standard-definition to high-definition not only changed the way we enjoy gaming, it brought with it the opportunity to experience some of the classics in a brand-new light. For the most part, I think HD remasters are great; they give gamers a chance to ...

  • FIFA Street Review

    For anyone with a competitive spirit, there are few things in life better than beating someone one-on-one. Sure, a team victory against bitter rivals is always reason to storm city streets—then again, you may find the same result if your team loses—but there’s something so much mor...

  • Yakuza: Dead Souls Review

    It doesn’t matter whether you’re caving in their rotten brains with a baseball bat, ripping apart their stomachs with a dozen bullets from a machine gun, or slicing off their limbs with a machete: killing zombies is fun. And with the continued belief that gamers just can’t get enou...

  • Plants vs. Zombies Review (PS Vita)

    Plants vs. Zombies was admittedly an initially tough sell for me. I came to the Vita seeking the kinds of deep, immersive games that cell phones and iDevices haven’t (with very few exceptions) delivered yet. I wanted the kind of story, art, gameplay, and all the bang a cutting edge console has...

  • Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen Review

    One of the first things that any boy, myself included, finds worth pursuing, behind only fire fighting and being a superhero, is being a ninja. Having the ability to jump from the shadows to exact a glorious death for some sort of ninja cause even piques the interest of adults, and having an opportu...

  • MLB 12 The Show Review

    Baseball is a game of patience. Innings can drag on for what feels like hours, and unless you are in the stadium with a dog in one hand and a tall one in the other the thrill of the game is lost in long moments of batter verse pitcher battles. Yet, it’s America’s game, the traditional pa...

  • Journey Review

    I always find it difficult to explain Journey with words. When I first received my copy, I tried to explain to one of my friends what game I was reviewing, and sometimes words just aren’t enough. I think that is so true with Journey -- you have to experience it for yourself. On that note, here...
