Now PC players are getting a chance to get their hands on this action packed title thanks to the wonderful men and women at Steam. Guacamelee is the story of a down on his luck luchador named Juan who embarks on an incredible mission to save the woman he loves after she is kidnapped by evil forces beyond his comprehension. If the story sounds a little generic and...

StarDrive is a massive 4x strategy game from Iceberg Interactive and the first game developed by Zer0 Sum Games. StarDrive introduces you into a gargantuan universe with eight playable races, an almost innumerable amount of galaxies and a depth and breadth of customization that is staggering. Coming into StarDrive I was almost completely lost with how to first proceed. Which leads me right into one of the biggest problems with StarDrive, the lack of a tutorial mode and...
Pool Nation, from developer Cherry Pop Games, has come to PlayStation Network and as you may have guessed, it is a billiards video game. Perhaps billiards simulation is a more accurate description. Aside from the disembodied floating pool cues, Pool Nation is perhaps the most true-to-life pool based video game available right now on consoles. When boiled down, there isn’t that much to a game about pool. There’s the table, the cues and the game...
The mighty Spartan warrior Kratos has returned! This time however, he is not on a warpath to exact revenge and bring about the destruction of Mount Olympus. Rather, God of War Ascension is the story about the beginning of the hardships and woes of our fearless hero, though you may not know that because it is easy to feel ‘not quite up to speed’ by the end of the opening cinematic; this tale seems to start midstride. Taking place over an entirely different storyline than...
2011 saw the release of the film Drive, and it became an instant favorite for myself and many others. A lot of people took notice of Nicolas Winding Refn’s mesmerizing film, especially it seems Jonatan Söderström and Dennis Wedin of Dennaton Games, as Hotline Miami is love letter to the almost beautiful brutality of that film. Originally released on PC in October of 2012 and subsequently nominated for and winning a slew of year end awards, Hotline Miami has finally...
I love platformers. They take me to a nostalgic time in gaming before we became spoiled by high end graphics and the internet. While I was playing this title to complete a Giana Sisters Review I found myself back in that magical time. This isn’t the perfect game, but it is one of the better platformers that we have seen lately. Twisted Dreams features Giana as she progresses through her dreams as a pair of sisters that have drastically different views on the worlds...
There was a time in the past generation when it seemed the classic 2D platformer was all but lost. Old-school franchises like Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog had become 3D and mere shadows of their former glory, with almost all of the difficulty stripped away in order to appeal to a younger or more casual audience. Then three years ago, Donkey Kong Country Returns was released for the Nintendo Wii and veteran gamers were overjoyed. Developed by Retro Studios, best known...
The Last of Us may well be the pinnacle of this generation’s games. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on, and in so many ways. It transcends everything that previous Naughty Dog games have been and is maybe, in some respects, what they’ve tried to be. The story that the Last of Us tells isn’t necessarily a new story, especially in movies, but it is a new perspective. Never before in this sort of tale does the viewer, or in this...
