Under the Radar: Jurassic: The Hunted

Next to Nazis and Zombies, what else is there to shoot?  No, not homeless people, Dinosaurs!  And there’s been no greater game for shooting Dinosaurs than the Turok series.  Well, since the sequel to the series’ reboot has been canned, a little development group decided to take it upon themselves to quell our hunger to [...]

Under the Radar: The Wizard of Oz Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

Yet another DS game this time and this one was quite a surprise when I read about it a while ago and though I should share.  The game is actually already out States side thanks to XSeed games (love those guys) and takes the traditional story of Wizard of Oz and turns it into a [...]

The story so far in The Saboteur

As a general rule of thumb, one should never piss off an Irishman and then give him explosives; Nazis generally die as a result.  And that’s what happens when Sean Devlin decides to go postal on the Nazi occupation of France.  Evidently, when you kill a race car driver’s BFF, cheat him out of winning [...]

A week with the Playstation 3: Part 4

For the final part of my time spent with the Playstation 3 I’m gonna cover Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Heavenly Sword.  Both eagerly anticipated and both excellent games.
Snake may be old hat now but Sons of the Patriots takes that beat up cap and makes it not only new, but [...]

Oh Insomniac and Naughty Dog, the rivals from the Silver Age of the PS2 have returned to duke it out in the next gen arena.  One with a brand new series and the other with a fifth sequel on a major console.  While Naughty Dog may not be returning with another Jak and Daxter game, [...]

A week with the Playstation 3: Part 2

The first two games I’ll be discussing are the two I started with and had wanted to play the most, Killzone 2 and Resistance 2.  While each game I played was an exclusive, I figured I’d talk about the two FPS’ first.  Killzone was the premier next gen poster child, when a teaser was first [...]

Eternal Sonata Review

Role-playing Games can be seen as a series of parts coming together to form a greater whole. Gameplay, music, story, characters… they all work together to make a cohesive package. While action games rely almost entirely on gameplay, RPGs have a broader scope (and often a longer length), so they need a strong story and [...]

A week with the Playstation 3: Part 1

I do not own a Playstation 3, so when I finally wanted to play through numerous exclusives that had been piling up on the system since launch I borrowed a friend of mine’s.  During this intense week of gaming I played through the following: Heavenly Sword, Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Uncharted [...]
