Games: PSN and XBLA.

In their latest collaboration with Marvel, Zen Studios takes us on a death-defying adventure with Captain America, Bucky, and the Howling Commandos as they take on Baron Zemo and Red Skull during World War II. And you have the most important job of all: slapping little metal balls around. Yes, this is just a pinball [...]

Though I don’t always seem like it, I’m a huge nerd and I have played more than my fair share of tabletop games, including the classic Dungeons & Dragons. It wasn’t my favorite (that title actually goes to a game I created), but I’m always interested in new material, which is why I was excited [...]

It’s funny…just a little over a year ago, the arcade racing genre was basically dead. It seemed like people had forgotten all about it and it had gone the way of the turn-based strategy. But now, all of a sudden, it seems that arcade racers are a dime a dozen. For better or worse, there [...]

Zen studios has created their newest table in a martian setting. Is it worth the tokens to play, or should you spend your points on something else? Check out our Pinball FX2: Mars Table video review.

I’m still trying to figure out what kept me from buying Beyond Good and Evil back in 2003. Looking back on games released that year I found Knights of the Old Republic and the original Warioware were some of the big names that came out. Both great games, but enough to overshadow me playing Beyond [...]

Konami’s Rush’n Attack (also known as Green Beret) was an NES sidescrolling action game taking place during the Cold War. Often overlooked in favor of Capcom’s Bionic Commando—which released about three years later—it didn’t always get the recognition it deserved, but it was a rather fun and challenging game at the time. 25 years later, [...]

Did you ever play Pikmin and wish you could just squish and maim the cute little buggers? Well, with the recent release of Swarm, now’s your chance! Okay, so maybe these aren’t the colorful little Nintendo characters and you’re not Captain Olimar, but the blue, rotund Swarmites are a good alternative. And although you need [...]

There’s something strange in the neighborhood and we all know what that means. That’s right, it’s time to call…some random people? In an odd move that was brought about either by licensing issues or simple poor judgement, the latest Ghostbusters game doesn’t actually feature the Ghostbusters at all. Sure, they’re technically in the game, but [...]

After all these months, many of us are still reeling from the plug being pulled on 1 Vs. 100. It was this excellent interactive social experience that was enjoyed by thousands of people at time, regardless of opinion or knowledge of the television game show. The live game’s cancellation felt like a low blow, but [...]

Videogames are in a sad rut right now. Every blockbuster release is trying to be just a bit more controversial than the last game. This has resulted in ultra-violent games like Gears of War and Grand Theft Auto. Stacking by Double Fine Productions proudly demonstrates that violence does not have to be an essential part [...]

In the real world, instant gratification and rewards don’t come often. It’s hard to learn new things. You can’t just pick up a guitar and strum a song within a few hours, it takes practice over a lot of time. One of the appeals of video games is you can quickly become adept. Not only [...]

PopCap is well known for their insanely fun and addicting games; Peggle and Plants vs. Zombies alone are a testament to that. So, understandably, it comes as a shock to me that their latest XBLA offering doesn’t invoke similar feelings. I was pretty excited about Bejeweled Blitz Live until I actually played it and realized [...]

Go! Gaming Giant: Zeit 2 Review

When Quake Arena Arcade was first announced 3 and a half years ago, I was moderately excited to try Quake 3 multiplayer on my Xbox. Seeing as the game was so old, I figured it would only be a matter of months before the game would see release on the system. After years of no [...]
