  • Sound Shapes Review (PS Vita)

    Music has always had the power to enhance your video game experience. A well-crafted soundtrack can lighten and darken the mood at will, raise your heartbeat as you enter a ferocious battle, and tug at your heart strings when a hero falls. In Queasy Games’ Sound Shapes music is the game; it&rs...

  • Growlanser Wayfarer of Time Review

    The PlayStation Portable is falling by the wayside, and, depending on perspective, has been for a long time. Titles like Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time really should have been around much sooner. It's hard to say where the handheld would be right now, but more games with this level of delivery would h...

  • Velocity Review (PS Vita)

    Velocity is unlike any of the other minis available on the PlayStation Store. From the outside, it seems like another run-of-the-mill vertical shooter, but in reality it’s so much more. Combining puzzle and strategy elements with retro influences and styling, Velocity is jam-packed with conten...

  • Puddle Review (PS Vita)

    Games aimed at the core PlayStation audience are what many PS Vita owners want to see push Sony’s handheld to its limits, but it’s also an ideal platform for puzzle games that you can dip into and pick-up-and-play when you fancy a break from the intensity of fire-fights and in-depth stor...

  • London 2012: The Official Video Game Of The Olympics Review

    The eyes of the world were glued to the magnificent opening Olympic ceremony in London and what a spectacle it was with its eye-popping fireworks display, energetic dance routines and toe-tapping showcase of the best in British music, concluding with Paul McCartney’s hand-waving rendition of &...

  • Dragon's Dogma Review

    The thing about challenging games is that it becomes hard to really deliver the full experience in an explanation without complaining a lot. The great thing about challenging games like Dragon’s Dogma, however, is that it promotes toward a demographic that really enjoys games like Dark Souls. ...

  • PulzAR Review

    The ability to shoot missiles from my bedroom is great. PulzAR, the new augmented-reality game for the PlayStation Vita brings a fresh look at the AR-type gaming scheme. Sony Europe has created something that’s a strong step in the right direction for augmented reality, even if having to play ...

  • Metal Gear Solid HD Collection PS Vita Review

    Hideo Kojima has seen to it that his Metal Gear Solid games are playable by nearly every possible consumer type. That being said, the only gamer left was the mobile gamer. Though it was remade and released for the Nintendo 3DS, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, as well as Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of ...

  • Table Top Tanks Review

    Much ado has been given to PlayStation Vita's augmented reality features in the months since its reveal, but the apps and games to use AR have so far ranged from less-than-stellar experiences to glorified tech demos. In this regard, Table Top Tanks doesn't do much to break the mold. That said, it al...

  • DiRT Showdown Review

    First, before we get going here, let me preface this review by saying this is NOT a DiRT off-road racing game like you are used to. Now, for those of you still with me, let me explain. For fans everywhere, DiRT has become a name synonymous with great racing games pumped out of Codemasters’ dev...

  • NCAA Football 13 Review

    It must be hard to make sweeping changes to yearly-installment sports games because few developers stray from their tried and trusted formulas. Luckily for the NCAA Football franchise, the formula is quite strong. The gameplay is consistently smooth, the presentation feels like a television broa...

  • Quantum Conundrum Review

    Quantum Conundrum, the downloadable title by Airtight Games, is a bit of an oddball. The studio, which developed Dark Void, has somewhat of a spotty track record. But with the lead designer behind Portal, Kim Swift, can Airtight turn its record around? The story, even with how little it matters t...

  • LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Review

    Gotham City awaits you in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, but Arkham City this is not. The family-friendly nature of the LEGO video game franchise is intact despite DC Comics' comparatively dark mythos, but that doesn't mean developer Traveller's Tales is content to give us a simple rehash of the LE...

  • The Walking Dead: Episode 2 - Starved for Help Review

    [Editor’s note: Since I doubt that you’re jumping into the series with Episode 2, you should probably read our review of Episode 1 for reference. In it, I give a broader look at the game’s design and charm, as well as how it actually plays. Now that you know what this game is, I&rs...

  • Inversion Review

    Inversion is one of those games that you really hope works. From the outset, you are promised guns, gravity manipulation, and epic battles. The sad reality is, often promises don’t come through. This is one of those times. The game opens with you, Davis Russel, and your ever so stereotypical...

  • The Walking Dead: Episode 1 - A New Day Review

    [Editor’s note: We realize that Episode 1 – A New Day was released in April. We received review code a little late, and held this review to coincide with the launch of Episode 2. Look for Episode 2’s review tomorrow!] The Walking Dead: Episode 1- A New Day is Telltale Games’...

  • Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection Review

    Capcom has dabbled in numerous Resident Evil-related spin-offs in the venerable horror series’ 15+ year history, though overall the result has proven a mixed bag at best. Among the most successful however have been the Chronicles series; that is, on-the-rails retellings of classic Resident Evi...

  • Spec Ops: The Line Review

    Have you ever wanted to play a military shooter with a heart? Well, Spec Ops: The Line’s heart is a bloody mess and players are rewarded with an intense, often squeamish adventure that is all about the fight for human survival. It’s safe to say that the gameplay won’t win any aw...

  • Game of Thrones Review

    It’s hard to mention Game of Thrones without saying “trend.” With that in mind, it’s also not surprising to see a game based on the popular story. If you’ve been a gamer for more than five minutes, you know that games inspired by cinematography are usually very terrible...

  • Lollipop Chainsaw Review

    Lollipop Chainsaw is one of the most obnoxious games I’ve ever played. When you imagine a ditzy-Britney Spears-cheerleader-inspired zombie hunter who dons as little clothing as possible, you may be mildly intrigued. Or maybe you wanted to check out Grasshopper Manufacture’s latest slapst...

  • Resistance: Burning Skies Review

    The release of Resistance: Burning Skies is something of a landmark release for PlayStation Vita, and handhelds in general for that matter. Not only is it another entry into one of Sony’s most prolific series, but concurrently, it’s the first dual-stick shooter on any portable games cons...

  • Rock of Ages Review

    It was a first for me when I saw a game with any sort of resemblance to Monty Python, so Rock of Ages caught my eye right off the bat. Cut scenes are rendered in a similar style mimicking the great ideas that Terry Gilliam used in the Monty Python works, and it gives the game a very unique and comic...

  • Gravity Rush Review

    Gravity Rush challenges your perception of what it means to be a superhero. Better yet, it challenges your notion of what constitutes as superpowers. The cleverly-named Kat, who is bestowed gravity-defying powers by a cat (get the play on names?), acts like a superhero on acid. She falls through...

  • Sorcery review

    The most fun we’ve ever had with PlayStation Move was unwrapping it on launch day and giggling like schoolgirls at its resemblance to a vibrating sex aid, but the possibility that Sony would one day create a core game experience that takes real advantage of its true 1:1 motion-sensing capabili...

  • Ghost Recon: Future Soldier review

    With bagfuls of high-tech equipment at your disposal, being a soldier in the future and turning up to do battle against significantly less-technologically advanced foes is a bit like entering this year's World Freestyle Skateboarding Championships with Marty McFly's hoverboard from Back To The Futur...
