Gears of War 2 Console Reviews

Gears of War 2

Gears of War 2 builds on the success of the original game with more action, better visuals, tighter controls, and plenty of other improvements. Players once again take control of Marcus Fenix and battle against the scourge of the Locust Horde, but this time the levels open up more compared to the claustrophobic original. This results in plenty of scenes that are way more epic than anything in the original. As far as sequels go this is one of the best.

Gameplay: Action-packed, over the top, and filled with memorable set pieces.

Graphics: Better looking than the original thanks to much bigger and more open levels.

Sound: Great voice acting, sound effects, and music

Guns, Gore & Cannoli PC Game Reviews

Guns, Gore & Cannoli

Take on the mob, the military, and the undead in this Mafia-themed 2D shooter. Playing as a mob enforcer named Vinnie, this game unleashes players on a city that has been overrun by the living dead. A large arsenal of weapons makes for a fun shooter, but the controls are a little stiff, and the adventure is sadly short-lived. Nevertheless, the game does have its moments and provides plenty of mayhem while it lasts.

Gameplay: Shooting zombies in the head is always fun.

Graphics: The art style is detailed and unique.

Sound: The music and one-liners make it sound like a Mafia B-movie

Roundabout PC Game Reviews

Roundabout

Roundabout is a game about traversing narrow city streets to get your passengers to their destination. The catch is that your limousine constantly rotates, so good timing is required to avoid hitting obstacles and blowing up. It is a very short game, but lots of fun, and the cheesy FMV scenes must be seen to be believed. The game is also very forgiving, so anyone should be able to enjoy it despite the challenging concept.

Gameplay: Requires timing and patience, but successfully dodging obstacles is very satisfying.

Graphics: Not spectacular, but colorful and charming.

Sound: The soundtrack is very fitting, as is the unconvincing voice-acting

Super Trench Attack! PC Game Reviews

Super Trench Attack!

Super Trench Attack! is a twin-stick shooter with a unique pixel art style and tons of goofy humor. It’s not particularly challenging or very long, but it is fun while it lasts and packs a bit more depth than you might think.

Gameplay: The game is a basic top-down shooter with some shooting galleries thrown in for good measure.

Graphics: The pixel art visuals are detailed and often quite humorous.

Sound: The game features exaggerated sound effects along with some fitting music

Zombie Derby PC Game Reviews

Zombie Derby

Zombie Derby is short, dated and a little grindy, but the basic gameplay can still be entertaining as long as you are not expecting too much. Plowing through zombies with different vehicles while earning the cash for upgrades is fun, but it’s a pity that the game only has eight levels. There’s nothing groundbreaking or original about Zombie Derby, but it’s dirt cheap and put a smile on our face, so it cant’ be all bad.

Gameplay: Short and repetitive, but also rather fun.

Graphics: Rather dated.

Sound: Not much in the way of music or sound effects

Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition PC Game Reviews

Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition

Ori and the Blind Forest immediately catches the eye with its hand-painted visual style, but beneath all the visual gloss beats the fiendish heart of a platformer. Exploring the vibrant game world is a joy, but the occasional spike in difficulty can also cause some frustration. The game’s Definitive Edition comes with plenty of enhancements and improvements that make an already great game even better. If you are a fan of the genre and up for the challenge, then you won’t be disappointed with Ori and the Blind Forest.

Gameplay: The game doesn’t veer too far off from what is standard for the genre, but it is a lot of fun to play.

Graphics: The art style of Ori and the Blind Forest is downright beautiful.

Sound: The game features a very fitting orchestral soundtrack

Double Kick Heroes PC Game Reviews

Double Kick Heroes

Double Kick Heroes is a unique blend of rhythm action and shooting wrapped up in beautiful pixel art and a heavy metal soundtrack. The game is challenging, especially on the higher difficulty settings and the music is good enough to put a smile on the face of any metalhead. However, it’s a pity that doing well requires players to watch the rhythm bar like a hawk and thereby miss out on all the pixel art action. Nevertheless, this is a fun game with lots of modes to keep players coming back for more.

Gameplay: An interesting new take on the rhythm action genre.

Graphics: Lovely pixel art visuals with plenty of great enemy designs.

Sound: If you love metal you’ll love the soundtrack

New Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood Trailer Revealed During Gamescom News

New Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood Trailer Revealed During Gamescom

FAST & FURIOUS CROSSROADS PC Game Reviews

FAST & FURIOUS CROSSROADS

Fast & Furious Crossroads had plenty of potential but somehow manages to squander all of it. Despite some over the top scenarios the game offers very little challenge and the whole thing can be completed in one session. The multiplayer also appears to be dead on arrival, which means there is nothing to return to after completing the short campaign. Considering the success and popularity of the movie franchise it’s baffling to see how poorly the license was handled for this game.

Gameplay: Short, easy, and full of baffling design choices.

Graphics: The cars look fine, but everything else has a very low budget look and feel.

Sound: Considering the involvement of some of the big names from the movies we expected a lot better
