<span class="articleText">For a few fleeting minutes, Dark Void makes a fantastic impression. It throws you right into an airborne skirmish between pre-jet engine airplanes, classically round UFO saucers, and a dude in a jetpack. Guiding a nimble fellow between competing aircraft/UFOs, while...

<span class="articleText">My initial reaction to my first game of Death by Cube was: "Man, I have absolutely no idea what's going on here, or how to successfully play this game." After hours of play and much studious application of my gaming skills, my general assessment of Death by Cube is: "I...

<span class="articleText">Out of all the Konami franchises to resurrect, Vandal Hearts feels like a somewhat random and inexplicable choice. The first two games, released in the late '90s for the original PlayStation, weren't met with much fanfare upon release, even at a time when RPG fans would...

<span class="articleText">Like the old saying goes: "In space, no good deed goes unpunished." Or maybe I'm mixing my aphorisms. Still, you'd be hard-pressed to come up with a more compact summation of Mass Effect 2's overriding ethos. See, when last I teamed up with Commander Yukiko Shepard of...

<span class="articleText">When people refer to a game like Conan or Heavenly Sword as a "God of War clone," they typically mean it's in the third-person hack-n-slash genre and shares a few features like the button-pressing minigames or camerawork or giant bosses. So for the sake of clarity, it's...

<span class="articleText">BioShock 2 has a big re****tion to live up to. The critically acclaimed BioShock put together a stylized, provocative world; it wasn't a perfect game, but the story -- a red-herring-filled plot mixed with existentialist (and objectivist) philosophy -- turned the game into...

<span class="articleText">Somewhere out in the vasty wilds of the internet there's a huge, experimental, virtual world populated by adorable, little green stick people. Recently, however, it's been imperiled by the mundane yet powerful evil of an email virus... and only you can save it! That's a...

<span class="articleText">There's something appealing about a good, old-fashioned dictatorship, so long as you're the dictator. It's a tempting kind of fantasy, whether you feel like being a despotic tyrant, the architect of a tropical utopia, or more likely, a fumbling ***** yanking ineffectually...

<span class="articleText">Finally, the game that dares to ask, "Just how many hit points does Lance Henriksen have anyway?" Other questions posed in Aliens vs. Predator are, "How many times can you reuse the same map in one game?", "How is a predator like an electric car?", and, "Is there any way...

<span class="articleText">You can't tell much from the title, but you could probably guess that something called The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom would be a light-hearted romp of some sort. And you'd be correct; indie developer The Odd Gentlemen's debut puzzle game uses simple mechanics and a...
