E3 2010: Two Worlds II Hands-On Impression
If there is a westernized RPG that can be considered to be one of the worst ones of all time, that would be Two Worlds on the Xbox 360 and PC. Today at the show floor, one of the games that piqued my interest in was South Peak Games' sequel to Two Worlds on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. By...
Alpha Protocol Hands-On Impression
The series finale of '24' this week made me depressed as I'm a big fan of Jack Bauer. With the series coming to an end, a game not too dissimilar to 24 comes in to help ease the pain. That game is Alpha Protocol which is due to come out next week. As I finally had a chance to play the final build...
Demo Impression: Split/Second
I want to start out by saying that Split/Second is one of the most addicting racers I have played since Burnout. It feels like Burnout if it were to pull a Barry Bonds and use performance enhancers. Its an adrenaline fueled, edge of your seat, action packed racer that has enough explosions to make...

Final Fight: Double Impact Hands-On Impression
Next week, the Capcom remake of Final Fight and Magic Sword will be released in the form of Final Fight: Double Impact. It's a nice little throwback to the good days of side-scrolling beat-em-ups and hack and slash games. They show that even old arcade style games can be given a fresh breath of...
3D Dot Game Heroes Hands-On Impression
When 3D Dot Game Heroes was first announced in Japan, I was somewhat hesitant about how the game would turn out. Based on the screenshots and videos released by From Software, it looks pretty childish and very old school. A year passed by and Atlus brought out the announcement that they would be...

After an entertaining visit to 2K's off-site event for a look at Civilization V I was eager to go back to see what they had in store for their other game Mafia II. I was sat down and told that before I got my hands on the game they wanted to give me a little background on their location and...
GDC 2010: SOCOM 4 U.S. Navy SEALs Hands-On Impression
Yesterday, at Sony's press conference, I had the chance to play a small bit of SOCOM 4 with the new Playstation Move technology.

White Knight Chronicles is a PlayStation 3 exclusive. Thus I can say its one of the most anticipated RPG titles of 2010 along side Final Fantasy XIII. It's a game from Level-5, the developer of the Dark Cloud series that was released for the PlayStation 2 a couple of years ago. In less than a week,...

Bethsoft's WET, Too Repetitive?
One of the games I have been most looking forward to this year is WET. I finally got a chance to play the demo of Bethsoft's new action game for the XBOX 360 and Playstation 3. Lets get to the point and say that the demo sucks and chances are, the final product won't be much better. The demo...
