F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin Review
A great American president once said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Now let’s amend FDR’s famous quote for the 21st century. “The only thing we have to fear is F.E.A.R. itself.” Monolith Productions’ F.E.A.R., or First Encounter Assault...

F.E.A.R. 3 Review
A good horror game has some common themes. There’s always eerie music and ambient sounds, segments of subtle suspense, heart-pounding action sequences, creepy settings, and of course a truckload of blood and gore. F.E.A.R. 3 doesn’t deviate far from that equation, but its lacklustre stor...

F.E.A.R. Review
Originally an impressive first person shooter title for the PC, and the Xbox 360 a year later, F.E.A.R. now blasts its way onto the PlayStation 3. Unfortunately for PS3 owners, the apple has strayed far from the tree. Nex-gen…whattt? F.E.A.R. hit the top of most PC gaming charts when ...

F1 2011 Review
Genuine racing games are much harder to come by in comparison to the genre stretchers such as Need for Speed and Split/Second. One of the few genuine racing games available are the Gran Turismo games, which cover nearly every aspect of racing even down to cart racing. F1 2011 takes on a stance of sp...

FaceBreaker Review
Electronic Arts’ inaugural title in the publisher’s Freestyle brand name is none other than FaceBreaker. Developed by the team that brought you Backyard Boxing, FaceBreaker's crowning highlight is an innovative technology called "real-time facial deformation," allowing gamers t...

Fallout 3 Review
It’s hard – but all too easy – to imagine: a nuclear Judgment Day. We’ve narrowly avoided it under the watchful eyes of skilled leaders in the past, but it’s a frightening possibility that we must recognize and strive to prevent in the years and decades to come. But wha...

Fallout: New Vegas Review
Creating a worthy sequel to a critically acclaimed and commercially successful game is often more than a developer can chew. Many sequels have fallen short, while others, like Uncharted 2 or Red Dead Redemption, clearly utilized what worked in the original entry and improved upon them on nearly ever...

Far Cry 2 Review
Tired of run-of-the-mill shooters? Far Cry 2, developed by Ubisoft Montreal, is far from generic. More of a spiritual successor to the original game than a sequel, Far Cry 2 plunks you down in a 50 square kilometer slice of Africa and sets you free. Is it the journey of a lifetime, or the stuff of n...

Far Cry 3 Review
I was tucked behind some tall tropical grass, taking aim with my camera to highlight the pirates of an enemy outposts. They were quickly marked, and after spotting a strategic opening, I slid from the tall grass to a pile of wood. I had the enemies' paths down, I could tell they were drunk (the ...

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review - 2007 has never been so futuristic
When a game released in 2013 has the tagline 'The year is 2007. It is the future,' you know it's going to be crazy, absurd and insane. That's exactly what Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon has absolutely no relation to the game Ubisoft released last y...

Ferrari Challenge Review
Have you ever owned a Ferrari? Well, neither have I. Since you clearly can’t afford to spend $217,310 on a brand new 2008 Ferrari F430 (and if you can, why are you reading this review instead of driving your awesome car?), should you pick up a $60 video game instead? Ferrari Challenge Trofe...

FIFA 10 Review
Was it really only a few years ago that the FIFA series was in danger of becoming stagnant? Minor incremental updates and graphical face-lifts year after year left the franchise in desperate need of re-invigoration. Someone at EA Sports clearly got the message loud and clear from FIFA’s loyal ...

FIFA 13 PS Vita Review
"It’s in the game." That’s what it says when any given EA Sports game is loaded up as it has done for as long as I can remember. Every year when a new FIFA or Madden or any other game EA Sports decides to churn out releases, each title tends to incorporate some new features ove...

FIFA 13 Review
FIFA 12 was a revolution in sports games, and the first annual installment in a long, long time that brought drastic changes to the pitch. So what do you do after you revolutionize your own game? While you shouldn't sit on the sidelines and wait another few years to make improvements, FIFA 13 pr...

FIFA Soccer 11 Review
If you are anything like us, you probably kept FIFA 10 close to your PlayStation 3 for the seasonal lulls in the video game release schedule. Whenever we faced a grueling month-long freeze in quality games, we booted up our PS3 with FIFA 10 for an online match, continued to progress our team in Mana...

FIFA Soccer 12 Review
Releasing a game every year is a mighty challenge for a developer, especially if it’s a sports game that has no campaign or story to differentiate the annual installment. There’s always the risk that the game will grow stale without any substantial tweaks to the gameplay or modes, but th...

FIFA Soccer Review
For a PlayStation Vita launch title, FIFA Soccer is an impressive example of how a developer can cram so much detail into one game. It’s also a good representation of the new hardware’s capabilities, and what we may expect in future sports games. Not only do you have a game that looks an...

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...

Fight Night Champion Review
Most sports games lack that personal affection you get with single-player campaigns in an action or role playing game. Even individual sports games (as opposed to team sports) rarely capture that character-driven narrative that titles such as Grand Theft Auto IV, God of War III, or Uncharted 2 carry...
