The basic premise is that you are a miner on an asteroid looking for a rare element when things go kinda crazy. You are given a sort of Gravity Gun as well as control over gravity and told to sort things out. On your quest you are continually hit with puzzling...

I AM ALIVE is well, alive. After the initial video released in 2008 showing what looked like a crazy game set after an earthquake, I AM ALIVE returns with a much different tone to it. The original teaser was more along the lines of just surviving a natural disaster while the newest footage seems more like a natural disaster has already occurred about a year ago. I looks like that because, well, it is that. According to the press release you play as an average Joe who was...

If you’re looking for a great game with killer game play, an amazingly deep story, and an awesome cast of characters… Then please don’t...

Warhammer 40K : Space Marines is the exact game you would get, say, if Gears of War and Darksiders had a baby. As I used the Bolter Rifle, I was reminded of the feel of a Lancer. The...
