Waves is a twin stick shooter in the vein of Geometry Wars. Squid In A Box has done a great job in creating an abstract quick-play action game with rounds lasting generally 3 minutes or less, unless you’re actually good at video games. At any rate, I’m going to go ahead and try something a bit new. Let’s take a short walk through the various game modes of Waves and record it, yes? Yes! If you’ve got any comments or suggestions, please leave a note...
Have you ever wanted to shoot things from a space craft AND sing Call Me Maybe at the same time? It wasn’t until recently I found out I indeed HAVE had that need, which is why I am reviewing Symphony by Empty Clip Studios. Symphony took home two awards from the Indie Game Challenge, and from what I gathered from the one screenshot I saw, was that it was a game about music somehow, and looked like an arcade-style shooter – apparently I am a very good journalist. So I...
Sony Online Entertainment has been busy working with gamers on the BETA of the newest Free to Play First-Person Shooter, Bullet Run. The wait for release is over, and you can now download and play Bullet Run for free. This game seems to propagate an interesting take on the near-future gameshow style which has been done so many times before. Smash T.V., Fatal Rewind, and Monday Night Combat have all tried the same kind of setting and have invariably met with great success...
And I don’t care! Mass Effect 3’s cooperative multiplayer is amazing and it is largely due to the fact that Mass Effect 3, as a game, is the best Mass Effect that Bioware has delivered. Brush aside all the story drama and you’re left with the best Mass Effect video game in the trilogy. Why? Well it’s quite simple really: Mass Effect 3’s controls are as tight as ever. The gunplay is unmatched when compared to its predecessors and the...
With any successful game, there is a tiny amount of fear when a sequel is released. I am a huge fan of the first Borderlands, and as excited as I was to hear that Gearbox was working on Borderlands 2, there was a little part of me that was afraid the sequel wouldn’t live up to the original. When I played the game at PAX East though, all those fears were put to rest. Borderlands 2 looks beautiful. The comic book come to life graphics style of the original game is...

The lack of buzz surrounding the release of this game should have told me all I needed to know about this game. While Survival-Horror purists turned their nose up at the concept of this game, I held out hope that it would be something new and fun. We, as gamers and games media, are always clamoring for something new from developers and Operation Raccoon City was that new take on Resident Evil. The game is a third person shooter with an emphasis on action. The game is...
EA just recently announced they plan on rolling out three more expansion packs for Battlefield 3. The first expansion was Back to Karkand, which featured the most popular maps from Battlefield 2 re-imagined in the Frostbite 2 engine. The Back to Karkand expansion didn’t just feature new maps, but also new dog tags, weapons and assignments for each class, unlocking more weapons. EA promises more of the same with the upcoming DLC. Battlefield: Close Quarters is...
