Review: Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad
1134 days
I thought we'd shake this up with this review. See, I (Squid) pre-ordered Red Orchestra 2 the instant it was available for purchase on Steam. Had to. I've been a fan since the original Red Orchestra mod came out for Unreal Tournament 2004. It won best mod two years in a row and I've been ...
Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review
0148 days
Any developer that takes over an intellectual property is playing a dangerous game. It can easily restrict innovation because everything is based on someone else's ideas. Or one can totally destroy a beloved franchise. The original Deus Ex was fantastic. It had a strong, if convoluted story, difficult combat, stealth, and great RPG elements in ...
Mass Effect 2: The Arrival review
0313 days
Mass Effect 2 is an excellent game. While I personally feel that it is slightly eclipsed by its predecessor in the effectiveness of its storytelling mechanics, it is nonetheless a dramatic and epic experience. Unfortunately, following in the footsteps of the original, this particular slice of downloadable content is a bit disappointing. Now, before I get ...

So it's been a while since I posted, I know, and I'm sorry for that. There's just been a lot going on. I've had real-life commitments, there's been general laziness, but the key factor for my lack of communication is I've just been really busy gaming. Now, I know it may seem a bit contradictory ...
Section 8: PS3 Review
2652 days
I know the term "hardcore" is thrown around a lot in the gaming community, often with negative connotation, but there's really no other way to describe Section 8 other than hardcore. It eats other "hardcore" first person shooters for breakfast. Any seasoned FPS gamer with countless hours of Halo and Modern Warfare play under their belt, ...

Ah, Evony. My shame-game. I first learned of it through their horrible ad campaign. I’m sure readers have come across them as well and immediately had an adverse reaction as I did. In case any of you haven’t seen their banner ads around, let me just post a few examples…
Review: Dragon Age: Origins
0757 days
I bought Dragon Age for two reasons. The first was that I was bored with what I was playing when we didn’t have enough people to get a game of Left 4 Dead 2 going (which will heretofore be referred to as Left 4 Dead; the original no longer exists in my mind, a sentiment ...
PixelJunk Shooter Review

in Review
Oh, PixelJunk, how I love thee. For those unfamiliar, PixelJunk is a DLC-only series for the PS3 from developer Q-Games. The series focuses on taking popular (and often over done) gameplay mechanics and throwing in a twist. The first game in the series, PixelJunk Racer, may not have been earth shattering but it certainly was different. ...
Reviews In Review — MW2 Edition

Every now and again I'm going to pick apart some game reviews to show how reviewers today, more often than not, are hurting gaming. For this inaugural edition, I'll examine that elephant in the room crapped out by Bobby Kotick and Co. known as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Rageometer: 5/5 The PS3 and 360 versions' ...
