At last summer’s Gamescom, I referred to the new Tomb Raider game as the first chance that PC and X360 owners would have to experience Uncharted-esque gameplay on their systems. Merging classic Tomb Raider elements with the cinematic presentation and storytelling of the PS3-franchise, I couldn’t wait to explore this prequel in the Lara Croft saga. Now that the game is finally here, how does it stack up? Continue reading “Tomb Raider Review (X360)”
Aliens: Colonial Marines Review (PC/X360)
The movie Aliens is my favorite out of all the titles in the franchise so far. Now, imagine my excitement about 6 years ago when Aliens: Colonial Marines was announced as a videogame sequel to that movie, and then double it. That’s how much I was looking forward to this title, and why it’s disappointing that I had to wait until 2013 to play it. Delayed titles often don’t live up to the hype (Duke Nukem Forever, anyone?) and I’m sad to say that Colonial Marines didn’t either. However, as a fan of the franchise, I still had fun playing the game. I’ll explain why…. Continue reading “Aliens: Colonial Marines Review (PC/X360)”
Hitman HD Trilogy Review (X360)
The Hitman Trilogy was released back and well-received in 2007 for PC and PS2, but only now found its way onto the X360 and PS3 platforms. This time sporting the ‘HD’ monicker, the trilogy brings together Blood Money, Silent Assassin and Contracts but doesn’t include the original Codename 47 that only came out on PC. What’s unique about this package is that Silent Assassins and Contracts are now available in remastered editions for the first time ever. Is the 2013 edition of the trilogy, which also comes with a download code for the Hitman Sniper Challenge, still worth it? Continue reading “Hitman HD Trilogy Review (X360)”
Rush Bros Review (PC)
After a long break for the holidays, we’re starting off 2013 by looking at XYLA Entertainment’s new platformer Rush Bros. A bit of a departure from the big studio titles we usually review, Rush Bros takes the tried and tested formula of 2D platforming and adds its own twists, mainly revolving around multiplayer action and music. Does it work out? Read on for our take on this novel approach to platform games. Continue reading “Rush Bros Review (PC)”
The Odd Life of Timothy Green (Blu-ray)
– By Erin
I do my best to avoid previews. I’ve learned that they give too much away and cloud my judgment. I still want there to be an element of surprise when I sit down to watch a movie. So when I started watching The Odd Life of Timothy Green (which came out on Bluray this week), I didn’t know what I was in store for with one small exception. I had heard there was a YouTube video making the rounds in which the parents of two young boys filmed their sons’ hysterical, tear-filled reaction to the Disney film.
