Brink Game Review [Rating:8.2/10]
In the run-up to the release of Splash Damage’s team-based shooter Brink, there has been an odd reluctance to state plainly what, at heart, the game is about. Perhaps it’s because Brink’s heritage lies in the mod scene, where its fundamental ideas were beaten into shape by amateurs.
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Game Review [Rating:8/10]
Disney continues to milk the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. A fourth movie is about to hit theaters and along with it a brand new video game. But unlike game movie tie-ins this one is based on a tried and true formula. The LEGO series of video games have been wildly successful.
Gatling Gears Review [Rating: 7/10]
Don’t let its twin-stick control scheme or whimsical steampunk charm fool you. Gatling Gears, the latest from Greed Corp developer Vanguard Games, fancies itself as a manic, eye-watering, bullet-hell ‘shmup’.
Thor: God of Thunder Game Review [Rating:5/10]
Thor for Wii lacks the high-definition visuals of its Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 counterparts and the old school, 2D brawler approach of WayForward’s Nintendo DS version. It’s also based on a movie license.
Call of Duty: Black Ops – Escalation Game Review [Rating: 8/10]
Hi Eurogamer! Last time we looked at an inevitable and overpriced map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops together, we met Dave, my future brother-in-law. Dave and other (but not all) Daves are the reason that Activision can charge 1200 Microsoft Points for five maps while maintaining direct eye contact and avoiding a tell-tale blush.
Stacking Game Review
As someone who is tired of the fact that every other game in development seems to be a shooter, Stacking is a breath of fresh air.
Body and Brain Connection Game Review
If you’ve ever played Brain Age on the DS, this is the same concept (and the same creator, Dr. Kawashima) only it’s built for Kinect.
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Game Review
Beloved characters return to the fold while new arrivals, though bearing their own signature styles, have some similarities to classics that didn’t make the cut.
de Blob 2 Game Review
Rather than attempt to shoehorn 3D exploration onto a platform that’s not ideally suited for it, the team has instead focused the game play on 2D platforming, with rock solid mechanics that also make the most of the overriding color motif.
Bulletstorm Game Review
It comes off as obnoxious and crass, full of toilet humor, emphasizing a sort of dickish boldness and attitude that’s been driven into the ground by countless shooters over the last few years.
Test Drive Unlimited 2 Game Review
Review by IGN,The videogame landscape is filled with racing games. With such a crowded genre, how are developers supposed to create a product that can stand out from the rest while still maintaining a certain familiarity to capture an audience in the first place?
Killzone 3 Game Review
Review by Euroganer,As the saturation point looms, the first-person shooter pie has been sliced increasingly thin in recent years. The difference between some games is only a few crumbs wide and players have become connoisseurs almost by default
You Don’t Know Jack Game Review
Review by IGN,Long before games like Buzz! Quiz World and Scene It? were making couches competitive again, You Don’t Know Jack was on PCs and pushing trivia with sarcastic sexual innuendos.
Vanquish Game Review
Vanquish Game Review,While many found a lot to enjoy in Vanquish’s demo, I was left with a stale taste in my mouth. The combat is fast-paced and the on screen effects are enough to keep your eyes engaged, but eventually the demo devolved into a rote process that is seen in any third person shooter.
