Review: Cherry Pop makes the shot with Pool Nation
I grew up playing pool. Literally, I would go to a local bar that allowed me to play on their tables for free and I would play for hours. I have participated in tournaments, taught people to play, and have likely played every pool game ever made. If I missed one, believe me it was an accident. So, w...

The Last of Us Review: powerful, dramatic and emotional, Naughty Dog's finest hour
If Naughty Dog could bottle up the magic formula that it somehow manages to concoct each time it produces a new game, there’d be a stampede of developers queuing for a sip. As we’ve seen from the gorgeous triple-A productions of the Uncharted series, cold hard cash obviously helps to swe...

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger Review - an addictive shooter with terrific Wild West atmosphere
It's been a while since the Wild West served as the backdrop for an arcade-style first-person shooter. It really is one of the best settings for a shooter given its lawless, gritty and dusty atmosphere. A six-shooter carefully wielded by a sweaty cowboy eyeing the town's rough criminals sets the sce...

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...

Professional Baseball Spirits 2013 Review: "A sports game unlike anything seen on the western market"

Here comes the windup, the pitch, and the swing. Any baseball fan has heard this a million times as it is the most r...

Guacamelee! Review
A game like Guacamelee doesn’t bring you back to the “glory days” solely because it’s retro-inspired—it brings you back because it gives those same classics that made you fall in love with the genre a run for their money. A spot-on mix of old and new, Guacamelee caters ...
