The Tudors
Genre: Hidden Object/Adventure
Developer: Merscom
Publisher: Merscom
Release Date: 02/02/2010
Showtime’s series The Tudors has everything a gamer could hope for when it comes to adapting such a property to his favourite medium: deep stories of power, struggles and treason, interesting characters, fights… there’s even a healthy dose of naked people for those who enjoy DOA volleyball games. [...]

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010
Genre: Sports
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
Release Date: 11/10/2009
I became a fan of soccer, or “football”, as it is called in the majority of the world, a couple of years ago when my local USL team, the Montreal Impact, opened a new stadium 15 minutes away from where I live. I went to see a [...]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Genre: Platformer
Developer: Nintendo EAD
Publisher: Nintendo
Release Date: 11/15/2009
Christmas came a bit early for me this year. More exactly, it came on November 15th, when New Super Mario Bros. Wii was released in stores all around North America. I will readily admit that I am more or less a Mario fanboy. I have [...]

Lego Rock Band
Genre: Rhythm Game
Developer: Harmonix/Traveller’s Tales
Publisher: MTV Games/Warner Bros. Interactive
Release Date: 11/03/2009
I absolutely love Lego. If I ever have a kid, I’m going to spoil him with so many Lego blocks that he will not know what to do with them. Then I will build some gigantic space castle with all the blocks, under [...]

Return To Mysterious Island 2
Genre: Adventure
Developer: Kheops Studio
Publisher: Iceberg Interactive/Microids
Release Date: 08/14/2009
Based on the work by Jules Verne, Return To Mysterious Island 2 is, quite obviously, the sequel to Return To Mysterious Island. It was released in 2004 and received mixed reviews, but was apparently popular enough to warrant a sequel, albeit five years after [...]

Zeno Clash
Genre: First-Person Fighting/Shooter
Developer: Ace Team
Publisher: Iceberg Interactive
Release Date: 10/09/2009
It’s not every day that a game like Zeno Clash lands in my hands. It blends different genres, such as first-person shooting, fighting and action gaming, into a unique mix that I haven’t seen anywhere else before. Just by its cover and the accompanying poster, I [...]

Heaven
Genre: Adventure
Developer: GenesisWorks
Publisher: GenesisWorks
Release Date: 09/15/2009
When I was told I was going to review Heaven, I was told that it was a Christian game. The name kind of gave it away, but this game is really deeply attached to its religious message. While it might be putting some people off, I am not here to [...]

Colorz
Genre: Action/Puzle
Developer: Exkee
Publisher: Exkee
Release Date: 09/07/2009
I was first introduced to Colorz by a trailer I found on the developer’s website. It featured colourful worlds with lighter backgrounds, a soothing ambient soundtrack and pretty straightforward instructions as to what the game was about. Quite frankly, from this small demonstration of the game in motion, it looked [...]

Tales of Monkey Island: The Siege of Spinner Cay
Genre: Adventure
Developer: Telltale Games
Publisher: Telltale Games
Release Date: 08/20/2009
If you were already a PC gamer in the 90’s, then you have heard of Guybrush Threepwood and his series, Monkey Island. Renowned for its offbeat humour and memorable characters, the franchise has been left in the cold for nearly [...]
