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.
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.
Left 4 Dead: The Sacrifice Game Review
Left 4 Dead: The Sacrifice Game Review,I’m about to do the unthinkable. I never thought this time would come, but I guess I’m just not scared any more. I’m ready. I’m going to offer plotting advice to Valve. Valve, the maestros of marketing, the story sorcerers. I’m not sure if anyone’s done this before; I can’t know for sure if I’ll come out of this alive.
Front Mission Evolved Game Review
Front Mission Evolved Game Review,Masking mediocrity by letting you blow up lots of stuff pretty much sums up Front Mission Evolved, a forgettable third-person shooter from Double Helix Games. The latest addition to the Front Mission family of tactical role-playing games may take this Japanese series in a new direction, but the old turn-based style of play has been replaced with an assembly-line shoot-’em-up that won’t win the franchise many new fans.
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West Game Review
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West Game Review,This is how the world will look after the war. The buildings still stand, but they are in a state of ruin. Walls, ceilings, and floors have crumbled away, and the healthy foliage that covers every surface gives the appearance of a thriving ecosystem, though no humans are around to enjoy this taste of nature.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions Game Review
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions Game Review,Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is back. In fact, four Spider-Men are back for Shattered Dimensions, a game that celebrates the wallcrawler’s various incarnations. These four Spider-Men inhabit different worlds with different gameplay styles and unexpected variations on well-known villains.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Game Review
Konami describes Castlevania: Lords of Shadow as a reboot for the 25-year old franchise. I’d say it’s an unrelated game that borrows the “Castlevania” name. None of the common gameplay elements you’d expect from the series are to be found here and the story isn’t canon.
