Zombies, gotta love them. And lately those always lovable rotting denizens of the undead have been eating up a good chunk of my time courtesy of Playforge’s game Zombie Farm. It’s an odd concept really, possibly inspired a bit by the hit Plants vs Zombies which I reviewed awhile back. Essentially you’re a farmer growing a [...] I am a child of the eighties, and I’m male, ergo I love Transformers. Now being a kid of the eighties the fact I love giant robots is a given. We were flooded with Japanese imports in those days. Voltron, Robotech, and dozens of other seventies giant robot anime were being dubbed and broadcast for [...] Jonah Hex is a result of DC Comics foray into westerns in the early 70s. I’ve always been a fan of westerns, an influence of my mother I think. So of course when I discovered Jonah Hex I was an instant fan. He was and is a different kind of character from their normal fare. [...] I’ve always been a fan of strategy games, especially turn based games. As fun as an RTS can be I often prefer the more relaxed tactical game play of turn based fare. More chess style tactics and less zerg rushing. Your forced to use more thought in your choices and far less twitch. As I’ve [...] With the release of Prince of Persia the Sands of Time in theaters everyone knew it wouldn’t be long before a video game tie-in was released. Which makes Prince of Persia the Forgotten Sands a unique creature. It’s a game based on a movie based on a game. As such it has quite a stigma [...] As has been mentioned before here I’m a fan of Warren Ellis. Though he does have a distinct style to his writing he also likes to play around with different genres which keeps his various works from blending to much in to each other and staying unique and interesting. At the moment, along with all [...] Alpha Protocol is an ambitious game. Like many developed these days it doesn’t fit a single genre classification. It’s a fusion, mixing RPG elements, third person shooter action, and stealth gameplay. Set in the modern world of secret government agencies it foregoes all the fantastical elements of elves and aliens, instead enrobing the player in [...] In 1989 Jordan Mechner created a little platforming adventure game called Prince of Persia. A swashbuckling affair full of acrobatics and sword play set in ancient Persia. It’s a game I spent a great deal of time with as a child. It would spawn a handful of sequels before the series received a major reboot [...] I went into Ridley Scott’s new Robin Hood expecting a modern rehashing of the classic legend. What I received was definitely a modern retelling, but it was more of a prequel to the legend we all know and love. In fact it’s not until the last ten minutes of the movie that Robin actually becomes [...] Iron Man was an incredible movie. It wasn’t just a great comic book movie, it was a great movie period. Great acting, great special effects, and a well written story. Of course Hollywood being what it is it had to have a sequel, and since Marvel is gearing up for an Avengers movie in a [...] |
