Opinion: Gone are the days we would meet in a single room to share a story

07 Sep 2009 08:25:53 PDT

Written by diehardspook
Gaming today seems to be a multiplayer-centric hobby, which I have no quarrels against, but this seems to also be causing harm to the single player side of things. Many developers are taking their time to craft an excellent multiplayer experience (which unless your making Call of Duty or H...

Opinion: Terminator Salvation Impressions

30 Jun 2009 08:36:32 PDT

Written by twelfthcrusader
Terminator Salvation can be fun at times but it does just feel like a watered down version of Gears of War. If you are a diehard fan of the game you may enjoy it but just don’t expect much. I had a bit of fun playing it but I was doing it on co-op which is normally a lot more fun than the single player. I th...

Bionic Commando Review

UK Imagine Spider-Man, Fallout 3 and Gears of War rolled into one, except not as good as any of them. Sometimes you just think a game is going to defy convention and really pull it out of the bag should it be re-imagined on a modern console. ...

Review: Gears of War 2 (Xbox360)

Share This Dark Sector is kind of what Gears of War would be like if it ditched the sci-fi world and the chainsaw for a Soviet bloc country and a glaive. This game’s been highly anticipated by many gamers, partially based on its looks, but mostly due to that three-sided razor sharp boomerang. R...
