Team 17 always has a place for me when it comes to their Worms franchise. There is no other developer that will be able to match the fun and ingenuity of that series. With that said, I have never really taken a chance to look at their other series Alien Breed. Does Alien Breed 2: Assault capture the similar touch that Team 17 has been able to put in their previous games?

Dragon Age: Witch Hunt Micro-Review
I always hoped that someday BioWare would go back and revisit Morrigan and we’d be able to find out what had happened to her and with no sign of anyone from Dragon Age: Origins, Awakening or Dragon Age II, I started to worry. Luckily, BioWare decided to go back in DLC form to finally let me find whatever happened to my character’s beloved Morrigan. Does this finally end my desires to know what happened to her?
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions Impression Review
Rocksteady Studios Batman: Arkham Asylum proved that comic book characters can make AAA game franchises when developed in the right hands. The question is, can Beenox do the same thing with the Spider-Man franchise in Shattered Dimensions?
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero Impressions Review

Metroid: Other M Impression Review
To say that Metroid: Other M may have been one of the most anticipated Nintendo titles to be released in years would be an understatement. So with the past success of the franchise and having yet another new studio interpret the series, how does Metroid: Other M hold up to the hype? Let’s take a look.
Worms Reloaded Review
When I had heard a few months back that Worms was gracing its way back to the PC, I was geeked. As far as PC Worms goes, the series has been in hiatus since the release of Worms World Party in 2002. So what does the latest Worms have to offer us after all of these years? Let’s take a look shall we?
Shank Impression Review
Shank is a game that had slipped beneath my radar up until a few weeks ago when I saw a trailer for it. I was initially intrigued by the 2D art styles but was unsure if the gameplay held up. Let’s find out!
Mafia II Impression Review
So I’ve actually anticipated Mafia II for awhile. I always wanted to delve into the classic mobster era and explore the world they lived in. But does this game really have what it takes to become a made man?
Lara Croft And The Guardian of Light Impression Review
I never played a single game of the Tomb Raider series. I dismissed it due to the seeming capitalization of the main character as a gaming sex symbol. Though recent iterations of the series have given me the impression that they were moving away from that image, it still wasn’t enough to get me to try it out. That is, until I tried out Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light.
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Impression Review
When I had heard that they were making a sequel to Kane & Lynch I found myself scratching my head. The first game didn’t fair too well with the reviewers and I personally decided to skip it. I figured the developers must be nuts to give this franchise a second chance. Did the old dogs learn from their mistakes in the first outing?
Hot Shots Tennis: Get A Grip Review
Hot Shots Tennis: Get A Grip is a relatively new sports game out on the PSP. The first iteration of the game was released on the PlayStation 2 a few years back. Can the inclusion of a plethora of unlockables and the newer level-up system help the game score an Roddick style ace? Or will it be as disappointing as Roddick’s recent career?
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game Impression Review
For those of you have been living under a rock these days, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a graphic novel based on a wacky hero/bassist who is madly in love with a blue haired delivery girl named Ramona Flowers…problem is that he’s got to annihilate all of her 7 ex-boyfriends in order to be with her. Talk about a pickle. Does Scott have a chance to win over Ramona’s heart in the digital world?
Split/Second Review
As if there weren’t enough racing games out at the same time, along comes Disney Interactive Entertainment and Black Rock Studios Split/Second. Launched across multiple platforms, this racer separates itself from the crowd with arcade style racing and heavy explosions, enough to destroy the world…well at least in-game.
ModNation Racers Review
ModNation Racers by United Front Games puts a fresh spin on the somewhat stale kart racing genre. Released exclusively on the PlayStation 3, ModNation Racers can be considered the LittleBigPlanet of racing by putting a heavy emphasis on user created content. While the game it isn’t without flaws, the strengths certainly outweigh its weaknesses. Let’s have a look shall we?
Persona 3 Portable Review
Persona 3 Portable for the PSP is the retelling of the story that was originally available to players on the PlayStation 2 some 4 years ago. Is it able to maintain the freshness and novelty of the original? Or does it fail to establish its own personality?
Alien Swarm Review
Alien Swarm is a remake of the Unreal Tournament 2004 mod made by a group of indie developers, the very same developers who were hired by Valve to work on both Left 4 Dead 1 & 2. So how does it stack up?
StarCraft II Impression Review
Hell it’s about time. After years in the making, the most anticipated RTS of all time has finally come out. What do we have to say? Is it an epic sequel or just a paint job?
