Need for Speed Undercover Review

By Aaron Thomas
Posted Nov 21, 2008 4:28 pm PT

Need for Speed returns to its roots with hokey cutscenes, wild cop chases, and solid racing action.

For the most part, the reaction to the last few Need for Speed games was the same: “Why aren’t they more like Need for Speed Most Wanted?” “Where are the [...]

Left 4 Dead Review

By Chris Watters

Left 4 Dead makes both sides of the zombie apocalypse a thrill to experience, as long as you’re not alone.

The zombie apocalypse. Be honest: You’ve thought about it. When most humans have been turned into shambling, flesh-hungry monsters, how will you fare? Whether you fancy yourself [...]

Sacred 2: Fallen Angel Review

By Brett Todd
Posted Nov 19, 2008 6:24 pm PT

Although Sacred 2: Fallen Angel doesn’t break any new ground, it does impressive work freshening up an old formula.

Hack. Slash. Grab loot. Repeat. That formula is followed to a tee in Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, another action-first RPG you can toss onto the pile atop Diablo, [...]

Call of Duty: World at War Review

By Chris Watters

World at War brings proven Call of Duty mechanics back to WWII with great success.

Call of Duty: World at War is a lot like its predecessor, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. In most respects, this is a good thing. The guns are tightly tuned, the [...]

Dark Horizon Review

By Brett Todd
Posted Nov 10, 2008 6:16 pm PT

Dark Horizon is an improvement on its Tarr Chronicles predecessor, but that isn’t saying much.

Has somebody airlifted a battalion of English teachers to Russia? It sure seems as though somebody at Moscow’s Quazar Studios has been taking English lessons, because Dark Horizon is considerably less laughable [...]

The Golden Horde Review

By Brett Todd
Posted Nov 10, 2008 6:15 pm PT

A unique subject matter is the most compelling aspect of this otherwise boring real-time strategy game.

Being able to guide the armies of Genghis Khan is the only real attraction in The Golden Horde. Developer World Forge’s real-time re-creation of the crazy years immediately after Genghis Khan [...]

MotoGP 08 Review

By Brian Ekberg
Posted Nov 7, 2008 7:21 pm PT

MotoGP 08 is meat-and-potatoes racing with enough challenge to keep two-wheeled gearheads busy for weeks.

After snagging the official MotoGP license from THQ in 2007, Capcom released MotoGP 07 on the PlayStation 2; a promising, if far too difficult, rebirth of a game license that had previously [...]

World of Goo Review

By Brett Todd
Posted Oct 31, 2008 6:08 pm PT

Innovative, addictive, and delightfully weird, World of Goo is a superb puzzle game.

World of Goo may ship in a plain-Jane box that makes it look exactly like the usual third-rate dreck that takes up space on a back shelf in your neighborhood department store, but this [...]

Dead Space Review

By Lark Anderson
Posted Oct 31, 2008 6:07 pm PT

An incredibly atmospheric and disturbingly gruesome deep-space adventure that will haunt your dreams and leave you begging for more.

The survival horror genre is rife with games in which you are isolated in a hostile environment full of monsters, and Dead Space is no exception. But from [...]

Bully: Scholarship Edition Review

By Kevin VanOrd
Posted Oct 31, 2008 5:54 pm PT

A lazy porting job hinders Bully’s classic classroom hijinks.

PC game enthusiasts know they’re in trouble when a game’s menus require keyboard input rather than allow you a mouse pointer. That’s the first indication, but hardly the last, that this version of Rockstar Games’ boisterous look at [...]
