Max Payne 3
- PS3
Max Payne has led a hard life; a harder life than anyone should have to lead. Max just wants to do what's right and protect the innocent. What do most people do when the world continues to beat them down? They give up. But not Max. He prefers to pop an absurd amount of pills chased with whiskey no less. The pills and alcohol keep the depression at bay, yet nothing keeps his spirits up like shoo...

Papo & Yo
- PS3
When Vander Caballero expressed that Papo & Yo would "tell the story of of his abusive father", a few people actually believed that it was for shock value and "just a hipster indie dev shoving his childhood down our throats just for the sake of it". What Minority Media ended up delivering was an immersive experience that allowed us to emotionally connect more gradually and accordingly. Papo...

Shadow of the Colossus
- PS3
Shadow of The Colossus is the spiritual successor to Team Ico's ICO, but is a vastly different game. While ICO mostly focused on puzzles, Shadow of The Colossus is all about action and the great colossi which you have to take down. The game begins as the protagonist, Wander, and his horse, Agro, travel to a forbidden land in search of the ancient power of Dormin, an entity which is said to be a...

Madden 13
- PS3
I really, really love the fall. Crock pot meals (like chili and beef stew), the cooler weather (I was not cut out for 100 degree + high humidity), the kids start school again (okay, my wife's probably more excited for that one than I am) and... oh yes, the NFL kicked off last night. I am a huge fan of the National Football League and have been since Barry Sanders was making defense players...

The Walking Dead Episode 3: Long Road Ahead
- Xbox 360
When I first downloaded the first Walking Dead episode back in May, I didn't knew what to expect. What I got was one of the best interactive adventure games I've ever played. Then, two months later, "Starved For Help" released, and improved a lot on the first episode. STORY: With "Long Road Ahead", Telltale have delivered the most emotional episode to date, along with a much darker tone in...

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
- Wii
In a Nutshell If you own a Nintendo Wii you should own The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword more than any other game on the system, Skyward Sword like pretty much every Zelda game ever is an amazing game. Certainly one of the best games in the current gen. It probably has everything you could ever want from a Zelda game in it. Let's Begin First of all lets just get rid of that one tiny ni...

The Walking Dead Episode 3: Long Road Ahead
- PC
I gotta admit, I was a BIT nervous about this one. The Walking Dead game got its teeth into me during the Steam Summer Sale. The first episode blew me away, both as a great zombie story and as an adventure game that understands why people don't play adventure games as much as they used to. It was exciting and kept a good pace, while still requiring a good bit of brainwork on the part of the pla...

Metro 2033
- Xbox 360
The industry has seen the post-apocalyptic setting receive more and more investment over the past few years. This shouldn’t be surprising given how the scenery perfectly responds to the consumer’s need to brood over everything. Based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novel of the same name, Metro 2033 seeks to stand with the best that have come before it in exposing players to the horrors of a decimated w...

Gar...

Spec Ops: The Line
- PS3
Spec Ops: The Line is a third person shooter game developed by Yager Development and published by 2K Games. The game was influenced by the novel "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad which, for some people who do not know, had a film adaptation in 1979 called Apocalypse Now which has a few similarities to Spec Ops: The Line in its expression of war and the toll that war has on an individual....

It was released back in 2009 for super high end computers that only science people have access to. In Machinarium, you assume the role of an adorable, unnamed robot who has been exiled from his home in the big city for reasons that are not initially clear. You’ll need to overcome taxing...

Dungeon Defenders
- Xbox 360
I love RPG style games, but lately it seems the creativity has been limited to the graphical beauty rather than the story and game mechanics. You have a character angry at this or that super company/power and get friends to help take them down. you start off just like every other gamer and you have a few skill trees you can choose form to make you a little different as you grow in power. Even F...

Battlefield 3
- PS3
Battlefield 3 is a game developed by DICE and published by EA. Before release this game was subject to immense hype and being called by some as the Call of Duty killer. I finally get the game after almost a year of it being released and I can safely say this miss fired on so many levels. This game can be split into two parts really. Well lets start with the down right awful which is the camp...

As he attempts to escape the castle which he has been confined to, he stumbles upon a mysterious girl in white in a hanging cage.

L.A. Noire
- Xbox 360
It seems like every game that uses the 1940’s setting is always a World War II shooter. Even more disconcerting, the rarity of seeing new graphics technology boast a gameplay innovation is just as hard to find. Team Bondi, development studio started by ‘The Getaway’ creative director Brendan McNamara, set out to change these lax behaviors with their first game: L.A. Noire. Even after such a...

Gua Li Ni
- iPad
Originally released back in December, Gua-Le-Ni: Paper Beasts is an odd game at first glance. It is a puzzle game, that much becomes clear rather quickly - but the way it plays out is unlike anything else I have played so far on the iPad. The premise is simple, but effective. Animals such as tigers, condors and camels are drawn out in paper sketches and then 'torn apart'. These different pi...

Spec Ops: The Line
- Xbox 360
In a generation where the shooter genre reigns supreme, there are games that rise to fame and capture the attention of the masses, and then there are those that fall from view never to be heard or seen of again from the gaming eye. Gaining any momentum let alone attention in the over saturated market of shooters seems bleak enough, but what does it truly take for a game to break free of the usu...
