Korg DS-10 Plus
Publisher: XSEED Games
Developer: AQ Interactive
Genre: Music
Release Date: 2/16/2010
Hey hey hey! Remember that Korg DS-10 review I did a long while back? No? Anyone? Ok. Well. See, there was this awesome little synth that came out in November 2008 for the Nintendo DS. It was cheap, fun, [...]
Rogue Warrior
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Developer: Rebellion Developments
Genre: Shooter
Release Date: 12/01/2009
So I get this game in the mail. I open it up, and whoa! Is this the Punisher for 360? Did they make a new one? SWEET! Coz I know that’s an Ennis-era Frank Castle on the cover there and … wait, [...]
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Infinity Ward
Genre: Shooter
Release Date: 11/10/2009
Being a reviewer on a game site, I will occasionally get handed a game put out by the equivalent of a mom and pop publisher. These are small-run, unpopular games that earn me confused glances when I either discuss them with other gamers or [...]
Fairytale Fights
Publisher: Playlogic
Developer: Playlogic
Genre: Action-Adventure
Release Date: 10/27/2009
At this point, I think that updating old fairytale tropes with graphic violence is old news. Candy Mountain Massacre has been on ye olde Adult Swim site for quite a while, The Path attempted to update the Little Red Riding Hood story to include rape (well, at least [...]
Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space
Publisher: Telltale Games
Developer: Telltale Games
Genre: Adventure
Release Date: 10/14/2009
Adventure games were a reliable staple of my childhood, thanks in no small part to Lucasarts and games like Maniac Mansion and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Among these games was Sam and Max Hit the Road, an early [...]
Raven Squad
Publisher: Evolved Games
Developer: Atomic Motion
Genre: FPS/RTS Hybrid
Release Date: 8/21/2009
Modern shooters are a fairly tried-and-true genre at this point. COD4, the Tom Clancy oeuvre, and a million other clones have run the genre nearly to death at this point. Little has come in the way of originality to these games (which doesn’t mean [...]
Carrier
Publisher: Jaleco
Developer: Jaleco
Genre: Survival Horror
Release Date: 1/31/2000
Ahhh, the halcyon days of survival horror – the late 90s. After Resident Evil made its big splash stateside, there was a lot of selfsame flotsam following in the wake (wasn’t there one with dinosaurs?). Carrier is another piece of the flotsam. It tries to punch [...]
Up
Developer: THQ
Publisher: THQ
Genre: Platformer
Release Date: 05/26/09
Ahh, the ubiquitous movie tie-in. Sometimes, you get Riddick. But we all know, most of the time, you get E.T.. Movie tie-ins are notoriously awful, generally speaking, and Pixar’s Up has been getting some…well, some decent reviews, which is unusually bad for them. So, less than [...]
Big Beach Sports
Publisher: THQ
Developer: HB Studios
Genre: Sports
Release Date: 6/24/2008
Much to my sun-averse chagrin, I have apparently become DHGF’s go-to guy for summer/beach sports bundle games on the Wii. Don’t get me wrong – there is a lot of room for creativity and excellent gaming in multi-sport game bundles – I just think maybe someone [...]
Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
Publisher: Lucasarts Entertainment Company
Developer: Traveler’s Tales
Genre: Platformer
