Contributed by CJ When Dragon’s Dogma was first shown, I greeted the trailer with a little skepticism; not particularly wowed by the sense of design, or instilled any sense of awe whatsoever. Instead my gut reaction smacked of Capcom trying hard to capture the Western gaming market. Skyrim was building popularity, both Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls had attained a cult following, and that’s even before you factor in the universal success of the likes of World Of Warcraft. Little [...]

After the Joker murders a pregnant Lois Lane and destroys Superman’s home city of [...]

Contributed by Travis The first two games in the Army of Two series were solid, if unexceptional. They offered an alternative to the bigger shooter titles, but lacked that extra something to make them great games. Yet both the first and second installment left hope that the next one could take that step forward and drag Army of Two into the big leagues. Unfortunately, Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel is not that game. It begins by introducing the two new protagonists: [...]
Contributed by Lisa While searching through my games collection for something to play, I happened to stumble upon one of my old favorites – Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. I consider this game a classic and a must for any one who enjoys action. The Prince of Persia series is both developed and published by Ubisoft. There are currently five games in the series, four of which have the same character. Warrior Within is the sequel to the first game, [...]

While its ending was somewhat ambiguous and suggested there could be more to come, it was announced that the next title - God of War: Ascension - would be the first home console entry in the series to be a prequel, whereas Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta were both originally PSP titles that told sub-plots set in-between [...]
A few weeks ago I was handed a game from NIS America called Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory. I will be completely honest and say that I didn’t know much about this release, only that it was JRPG and that it was based in a world know as Gamindustri. This is a world that is ruled by CPU’s, where game mascots live away from the realm of humans. There are four nations in Gamindustri which are Lowee, Laststation, Leanbox and Planptune, each [...]
