9BloodRayne : Betrayal – Nothing Like I Expected

Blood Rayne: Betrayal is a brutal side scroller not meant for the weak of heart. When I first heard about it I expected a very pretty Castlevania like game but instead received a punishingly hard old school style game that was more in the vein of Mega Man Zero. Rayne, the main character, can dole out the punishment with her various bladed accoutrements and then move nimbly across the environment as well, a skill you will be forced to master. This game will bite you, chew you...

Epic Games Not So “Epic” with Social Media

  For the past few, Epic Games has been releasing buckets upon buckets of information weekly, (what achievements unlock what in-game unlocks, what retailer pre-order’s get you what, etc.) along with releasing two new “alternate reality” games (using that term lightly.) The first is a “Wall of Brotherhood,” an interactive ‘wall’ chronicling the past, present, and future of the men and woman of the Gears of War fiction and an interactive “COG Codes,”...

Color Puzzles Meets Ecco the Dolphin in Coloropus

  “Color does matter.” That’s the first impression that I got when I saw the gameplay video. I downloaded Ecco the Dolphin 1 and 2 via Virtual Console on the Wii a while back so I still remember how it plays. As Ecco, you’re a lost dolphin trying to find your family through these underwater mazes. You use common sense and natural weapons to get through tight spaces, enemies and blockages. Coloropus doesn’t look too much different in the...

9Catherine Review – Is Love Really Over?

Golf clap for Atlus, seriously. This is easily one of the most enjoyable and addictive games so far this year. Catherine is completly done in anime. Most of it is done in superb 3D rendering. That easily puts the 2D cut-scenes to shame. Although, there will be some fans out there that appreciate some of the 2D cut-scenes. The game begins with you playing as Vincent. Stuck in a freakshow of a nightmare with himself being part sheep, as well as being surrouned by...
