3D Dot Game Heroes Review

The first impression I had when I started playing 3D Dot Game Heroes was the similarities to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. From the gameplay to the dungeon layout, I felt a strong nostalgic feelng for Zelda as I played through 3D Dot Game Heroes. Veteran gamers will look back in the past and link it with their memories. Although it is similar to The Legend of Zelda, there is more to it than meets the eye. Fans will get the classic feel, but everyone will see the charm the game has to offer.

After Burner Climax Review

After Burner Climax originated in arcades and won many people over while satisfying the loyal After Burner fans. Four years later and the game makes the transition from arcade machines to next gen consoles. For those unfamiliar with the game, After Burner Climax is a combat flight game that puts players in the cockpits of various fighter jets. If you have ever played a game like the original Star Fox, then you should have an idea of how the game plays. After so many years since the game's debut can an HD remake draw console owners away from the populated market for exceptional downloadable games?

Alpha Protocol Review

Alpha Protocol is an espionage RPG where the only weapon that players have is choice. Similar to games like Mass Effect, the decisions that players make throughout the game have a huge impact on how the story turns out. It's all up to the player’s choice whether the characters in the game will be a friend or a foe. After delaying the game for so many times, Alpha Protocol is here, but the real question is: was it worth the wait?

Assassin’s Creed 2: Battle of Forli DLC Review

For those of you who have completed Assassin's Creed 2 you might remember that during your journey you were desynchronized immediately after Sequence 11. When you were able to access the memories once again you were thrown ahead into Sequence 14 with no clue as to what had taken place in between or why your character started sporting a beard. The Battle of Forli DLC fills in part of the gap by adding Sequence 12, composed of 6 new memories, back to the story. This is one of two sequences that was left out of the retail copy in order to comply with the set release date of November 20th.

Bayonetta Review

A great way to start off the New Year is by playing Sega's Bayonetta for the PlayStation 3 or XBOX 360. Bayonetta is simply one of the best action adventure games since the release of Devil May Cry 4. There are many things that need to be noted for Bayonetta that stand out more than Dante or Nero of the Devil May Cry series. Since its release and announcement, Bayonetta continues to be compared to Devil May Cry 4. Let me say this, Bayonetta is more and far better than the Devil May Cry series. Got it?

Borderlands Review

Gameplay mechanics are often mimicked and recycled in today’s games. We've seen games copy each others ideas and most of the time, it's either a flop or a success. Borderlands is a game that recycles a lot of things from other titles such as Fallout 3, Call of Duty and Halo.
