Review: James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game (no spoilers revealed)
Movie tie-in games of late have been on par IMHO this year. From Origins: Wolverine, Up, to even the not-that-bad TF: Revenge of the Fallen. Ubisoft's Avatar was no exception. In fact I think out of the lot of them and may others its the first tie in that warrants it's $60 price tag. At it's core Avatar is a 3rd person shooter on juice!
I have to say this, on first glance the game is simply breathtaking visually. At first boot up you get to choose your RDA's likeness (RDA aka space marine). E...
Review: Modern Warfare 2
Any gamer worth their salt should be able to tell you that the Call of Duty series is synonymous with war shooters. Historically CoD was set in the last great war until November 2007 when we saw a very different war set in not so far off future. Now the same folks over at Infinity Ward have given us the lastest installment, aptly titled "Modern Warfare 2".
The story takes place just 5 years after the original and introduces some new players into the mix. The global threat comes from a new ...
Review: Left 4 Dead 2
Platforms: Xbox 360 (reviewed), PC
Left 4 Dead 2 has been kind of a sore spot and the topic of much debate for many gamers this year. The original game sold in abundance but it left some gamers feeling like something was missing… And they were right, out of the 4 campaigns the game had; only 2 of them were available in the 4 on 4 versus mode. No one really bitched thought because valve promised they were working hard on releasing the rest of the levels. When they hit Xbox Live and Steam, L4...

Romance of the Three Kingdoms Touch on iPhone is a new game by Koei that falls in line similarly with the other Romance of the Three Kingdoms games. It is a turn based strategy game that is simple in graphics and other visuals but heavy on strategy and statistics/attributes. Fans of the Romance Series will find familiar faces along the way and of course the same popular enemies. Read bios and individual character stats simplified for the lighter mobile platform while enjoying the intrigue and ...

Take your Forkamajigger and stick it in the overstuffed Ravioli over there... or maybe you need to melt that Ice cream sandwich wall with your Hot Enougher... Or better yet - see those Gummy Bears over there? Show them who's boss with your Chopper-er. Really confused yet? Yeah, I was a bit confused when I first heard the names of all these weapons too.
This adaptation of the movie is one of the few that actually works and works well. Flint and Steve the Monkey (playable in multi-player) ar...

New Mombasa is under siege and you are the last hope to save the city, dare I say the entire planet. The bad news, as if the siege wasn't enough, is that your favourite spartan is not around to save the day... But the good news is your going to get introduced to the next best thing, the 6 man ODST team known as The Squad, humanity's last chance to save the world.
In typical Halo fashion the story line presented is tight and well written. The voice actors are top notch, and the soundtrack i...
