Age of Zombies
Developer: Halfbrick Studios
Publisher: Halfbrick Studios
Genre: Shooter
Release Date: 2/25/2010
When we first got a chance to review this one, I kind of shrugged my shoulders and poked around and wasn’t all that impressed with the screens. It falls under the Minis category for PSP and PS3 games, which means it can’t be all that [...]

Star Trek Online
Developer: Cryptic Studios
Publisher: Atari
Genre: MMORPG
Release Date: 02/02/2010
One of those games that seems to have met a successful resurrection from development hell, Star Trek Online has had its up and downs before it was unleashed on the public from the somewhat controversial Open Beta. With a ton of different buy in options depending [...]

Torchlight
Developer: Runic Games
Publisher: Encore Software, Inc.
Genre: Action RPG
Release Date: 01/05/2010
Diablo, Diablo II, FATE, Mythos, all great action RPGs. What, pray tell, do they have in common, you might ask? Why, they all have a connection to the game I’m reviewing here. The designers and leads on these games got together and [...]

Mass Effect 2
Developer: Bioware
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Genre: RPG
Release Date: 01/26/2010
When the first Mass Effect hit the shelves I was ecstatic. I love space opera and rpgs, and I’d been clamoring for a new one that wasn’t on a console since Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. It was then [...]

Greed: Black Border
Developer: HeadUp Games / Clockstone
Publisher: Meridian4
Genre: Action RPG
Release Date: 01/13/2010
So this is my second action RPG that I’ve reviewed this year, the first being FATE: The Traitor Soul. At first glance this one appears geared toward a much older audience and on the outset has a bit more depth to it. Under [...]

Fate: The Traitor Soul
Developer: WildTanget

Publisher: Dreamcatcher Interactive
Genre: Adventure
Release Date: 12/18/2009
After having the joy of reviewing Tales of Monkey Island, our Adventure Game of the Year, I ended up reviewing a new game from Dreamcatcher based off the book, Treasure Island. Going from something a bit campy and fun to something far more serious and [...]

Dragon Age: Origins
Developer: Bioware
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Genre: Role-Playing Game
Release Date: 11/03/09
While I waited with some impatience for the next Mass Effect title to hit the store shelves, Bioware managed to sneak this title out of the gates with some fanfare and blood-letting, but is this RPG just a filler to keep us in the loop, or [...]

Developer: Telltale Games
Publisher: Telltale Games/Lucasarts
Genre: Adventure
Release Date: 12/08/2009

Developer: Spike
Publisher: Namco Bandai
Genre: Fighting
Release Date: 11/10/2009
After a slew of Dragon Ball titles under other publishers, Namco Bandai has now thrown their hat in the arena, so to speak, with a new title from developer Spike. With so many other fighting games in this series, how does this one really stand [...]

Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier
Developer: High Impact Games
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Genre: Action/Platformer
Release Date: 11/03/2009
Jak and Daxter have held a spot in my action and platforming heart since they popped up on the PS2 back in 2001. Their quirky and fun humor, the great platforming, and with the later titles, the heavy use of [...]

Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 4 – The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood
Developer: Telltale Games
Publisher: Telltale Games/Lucasarts
Genre: Adventure
Release Date: 10/30/2009

Elven Legacy: Ranger
Developer: 1C:Ino-Co
Publisher: Paradox Interactive
Genre: Turn Based Strategy
Release Date: 10/20/2009
Back in March I got to review a nice little turn-based fantasy strategy game called Elven Legacy. It had a few faults, but overall was pretty solid and well put together, especially for the price tag. Here it is coming up on November [...]

Pacific Liberator
Developer: Team6 Game Studios
Publisher: Zoo Games, Inc.
Genre: Action
Release Date: 9/15/09
Looking at the cover for Pacific Liberator, I’m reminded of the old helicopter game for the SNES, Desert Strike. Unfortunately, that’s where the similarities end. Desert Strike was a half-way decent action game where you dealt death from above in your helicopter. [...]

Dungeons and Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited
Developer: Turbine
Publisher: Atari
Genre: MMORPG
Release Date: 09/09/09
So DDO, as it’s become called by its players and the MMO community, has opened things up and changed its pay model. It’s also overhauled a few things including raising the level cap to Level 20, something more reasonable for hardcore D&D tabletop players. [...]

Release Date: 9/29/09
The third chapter in Telltale Games adventure series continues the tale of Guybrush Threepwood as he attempts to rid the world of the Pox he unleashed by finding La Esponja Grande (the big sponge) and sucking up all the [...]

My Friends
Developer: Oxygen Interactive
Publisher: Oxygen Interactive
Genre: Simulator
Release Date: 08/21/09
A game where you create your own friends and then have to play with them and give them gifts to keep them happy? Sounds like a weird stripped out version of The Sims, only you don’t grow up and it’s aimed at younger kids. [...]

Genre: Platformer
Release Date: 06/11/2009
