Wheels of Destruction Developer: Gelid Games Price: $10/7.99 £ Platform: PS3 (PSN) Remember my Smash N Survive review a couple weeks back? Remember how it sucked and it is a car combat game that shouldn’t be played? Well I’m glad to say that Wheels of Destruction is nothing like that. WoD is actually worth checking out. ...

Smash ‘N’ Survive Developer: Version2Games Limited Price: $15/£9.99 Platform: PS3 (PSN) I really like to review good games. Or at least decent ones.

Scarygirl Review

Scarygirl
Developer: TikGames
Price: $10
Platform: PC, PS3 and XBLA

If you’re not familiar with Scarygirl then you probably haven’t read the graphic novel the game is based on. Nathan Jurevicius is the man behind the curtains controlling the brand and while I’ve always been a fan of his work I was never that big into the comic itself. SquareEnix decided to give this guy his own game based off his comic and that’s how the Scarygirl game got started. (more…)

TNT Racers Review

by Diego Escala - on Jan 9th 2012 - 1 Comment

TNT Racers
Developer: Keen Games
Price: $9.99
Platform: PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, & Wii

TNT Racers ‘tracks & tricks’ subtitle seems a bit misleading once you play the game. I came in expecting a kart game mixed in with some race tracks and tricks to pull off in these tracks. All I got were race tracks with the occasional ramp to do a small jump off of. I don’t mean to start off in such a negative light, but I just thought that was worth noting to anyone considering to 2 friends I brought over to play it thought it was going to be a Joe Danger-ish kart racer when they saw it. TNT Racers is actually a pretty solid (albeit simple and content lacking) kart racer that hits most things you’d expect in the genre in the right ways. (more…)

Resident Evil 4 HD Review

by Diego Escala - on Oct 5th 2011 - No Comments

Resident Evil 4 HD
Developer: Capcom
Price: $20.00
Platform: PS3, PC, & Xbox 360

I still remember the glorious year of tears when RE fans moaned and bitched about the action approach of RE4 (wonder how they felt about RE5) but RE4 managed to capture just as much of the same horror vibe as its predecessors with a new control scheme that worked fantastically. Well Capcom has finally decided to bring RE4 to the downloadable battlefield in what they say is an HD update (it’s not). Honestly, if you’re going to shell out the $20 (seriously Capcom?) for this it’s because you haven’t played it before, or you seriously loved RE4. (more…)

Resident Evil Code: Veronica X HD Review

Resident Evil Code: Veronica X HD
Developer: Capcom
Price: £15.99/$20.00
Platform: Playstation 3 [reviewed], Xbox 360

„It’s Code: Veronica in High Definition. Look up a review from 10 years ago. The end.”

That was my first thought when I was contemplating how to review the newest iteration of Code: Veronica. (more…)

The Baconing Review

by Diego Escala - on Sep 12th 2011 - 2 Comments

The Baconing
Developer: Hothead Games
Price: $15.00
Platform: Mac, PS3, PC, & Xbox 360

When Deathspank released last year I was in love with its gameplay, environment, and witty humor you don’t see very much in games anymore. Thongs of Virtue came out a month later with some new additions, but was obviously more of an expansion pack than a proper sequel. This time around Hothead Games have knocked Deathspank’s name off the title of The Baconing and are calling this title an actual sequel to the previous games. It’s such a shame that The Baconing ends up feeling like another expansion with less improvements than TOV had. (more…)

Outland Review

by Trevor Stamp - on Jun 23rd 2011 - No Comments

Outland
Developer: Housemarque
Price: $9.99
Platform: Playstation Network [reviewed], Xbox Live Arcade

I set out this summer to cover more downloadable games; however I was worried that I may lose out on some of the bigger retail titles that would be coming between now and the Fall season. But when a game like Outland finally lands in the PlayStation Store, I began to question if some of the bigger titles coming out in the summer can give me the feeling of fulfillment and excitement like Outland gave me.
