4.5Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City – One of Those Bad Games

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...

We were presented with a live solo demo of Aliens: CM and also told that if Gearbox did their job correctly that even “Alien 3 would be a better movie,” as this game...

6Syndicate – Just Go Play Deus Ex a Second Time

Cyberpunk? Dystopian future? Evil corporate supersoldier? SIGN ME UP. Syndicate sounded like it had everything I wanted. Like Deus Ex, only crazy, evil, and immoral. I fired it up, ready to inflict some serious financial losses on my corporate foes; oh how they would pay for being foolish enough to cross whoever I worked for! Looking back, I can’t help but laugh at my naivete. You begin the game inadequately strapped to a chair. I say “inadequately” because...
