Many moons ago I reviewed the Lego Millennium Falcon, and soon after I picked up its sworn enemy the Slave 1. Ship of the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett. It’s a smaller set, about half the size in fact, and also half the price at $79.99. Once again however I was lucky to get it [...]

A while back I talked about a game called Orcs Must Die by Robot Entertainment. Lately their newest game Hero Academy has been devouring my time. It is a turn based strategy game for iPhone that plays a little like a fantasy chess game. In fact it reminds me of the old Battle Chess games [...] A few weeks ago a buddy sent me an email linking to a press release for a book called the Empire State. This book is a cross genre romp that seems to take pretty much all my favorite things and mash them together into one tight little package. Its starts out as pulp, careens quickly [...] Jetpack Joyride is a simple story of a man and his jetpack as told by the official trailer at developer Halfbrick. It’s a simple game, but one that appears to be laced with crack cocaine since once you pick it up hours go by without you realizing it. I actually downloaded it right after Christmas [...] I love Flying Frog Productions. They are a truly great board game company whose love of old movies led them to make games that invoked the same vibe as watching old drive-in flicks. You know, the low budget films of yester year that thrilled and chilled the masses. Since they couldn’t afford to make movies [...] I have played every Elder’s Scroll game from Arena to Oblivion. Oddly however I have never finished one. The massive worlds always seem to distract me from the story and I end up getting lost in my wandering until I just get bored and quit. Skyrim might finally be the game where I actually bother [...] A massive wooden door busts inward and behind it a green tide of ferocious beasts swarms forward. Blood flies as a wall of arrows lets fly, followed by spiked floors and pits of tar. As you watch a lucky few stagger past these devious traps you unsling your crossbow and let fly. And why, because [...] As I started to write this review I went to look back at my reviews of the previous games and realized I’d never written them. I meant to of course, but somehow never got around to it. As a quick recap allow me to say that Uncharted was good, Uncharted 2 was amazing. Uncharted 3 [...] Batman: Arkham City has taken my best game of the year award so far. Uncharted might steal it back, but I’m not sure even it can stand up to the Dark Knight’s newest opus. Rocksteady has hit this one our of the park. Graphically the game doesn’t look much different from its predecessor. But that’s fine [...] Movie licensed games have a rather poor track record, as games based on comic books seem to be almost as bad if not worse. The last few years have given us such decent games as Wolverine, but they’ve also thrown schlock like Iron Man our way. This being that case I was a little worried [...] |
