are I started playing Tom Clancy games later than most of you did. It’s not that I didn’t like them or anything, it’s just that I was playing other things at the time and had not gotten around to anything in the franchise until four or five years ago. With the exception of the two Advance Warfighter games that I played at launch, I ended up getting most of what I missed on the Xbox 360 all at once and tore threw them in a marathon session. I really enjoyed...
The 16-bit side-scrolling mech shooter GIGANTIC ARMY came out on Steam on March 6 and feels like the arcade games I played more than 15 years ago. I would rather this game stay in the past with the other arcade games from that part of my life. GIGANTIC ARMY takes less than a hour to beat in a single run, and you have to beat it in one go. In the arcade game style you have four lives, including the one you start with, to make it through the game’s six levels. Which...
Sanctum, third place for my 2011 Game of the Year picks here at Levelsave.com (I’ve been here coming up on two years already?) by Coffee Stain Studios was a beautifully executed cross-genre experience. There has been some news of Sanctum 2 being released to both PC and console platforms, and I’ve gotten my hands on a preview build of the game. This is a game wherein you create a maze and place turrets to kill creeps, and then enter first person mode in order to...
Dead Space 3 Awakened is the downloadable expansion to Dead Space 3 which released in January. Awakened picks up right where the main campaign left off. Isaac and Carver awaken to a proverbial shit show as they deal with the aftermath of the events on Tau Volantis. It’s grisly stuff as Carver and Isaac struggle to decipher between what is and isn’t real. Hallucinations occur quite frequently as the two survivors attempt to make sense of everything going...

Borderlands 2 is yet another sequel in a year that has been full of sequels. The original Borderlands was a first person perspective role player with a robust loot system and a bare bones story propped up by the scaffolding of quests and a shallow narrative involving four vault hunters searching for a legendary vault believed to be filled with alien treasure that would lead to fame and fortune. It was essentially a dungeon crawler crossed with a shooter and was...
