Back in the day before we really had a formula to go by, there was a wrestling game called Saturday Night Slam Masters that controlled more like a fighting game than anything else. Then somewhere down the line, game developers got the official WWE license, and insane anime brawlers like Mike Haggar took a back [...]

Today, the Event Mode content for Marvel VS Capcom 3 finally became available. It’s free DLC, and fans always like free, so that’s one thing it has going for it. But does the mode actually add anything to the game? Well, today I tried my own hands at the Events available, and I have to [...]

Knights Contract is a bad idea. If you can tell, this means that I don’t like the game very much, so if all you were looking for was a quick “this sucks” then you can stop reading right here. If you want to find out why Knights Contract is such a bad idea, prepare yourself [...]

The original Crysis was better known for being a graphics test than a game. It’s insanely high specs dared PC users to build rigs that could run it even at even a fraction of its maximum graphical settings. While it certainly looked eye-bleedingly fantastic for its time, that’s about all most gamers remember about Crysis. [...]

If you happen to be a Playstation Plus subscriber then you are one of the few privileged people who get to play the new Mortal Kombat demo before anyone else. In fact, many people have been paying the Playstation Plus subscription fee just to be able to play the new Mortal Kombat early. I just [...]

In the past, the decision on whether or not to get a new boxing game was cut and dry. If you liked boxing, you got the game, and if you didn’t, you probably let it slide. Fight Night Champion, the newest release from EA Sports and EA Canada complicates this decision by taking everything fight [...]

The 2D run and gun shooter genre is dying these days. With FPSes ruling the roost, few people remember how the bullet saturated days of Contra kicked off our obsession with bringing the pixel and the gun together. For those that do remember, it’s good that Arc System Works, creator of such games as Guilty [...]

I’m a big fan of the shoot ‘em up genre. The more bullets on the screen the better. I started with classics like U.N. Squadron and graduated to crazy bullet hell imports like the Touhou games, but dodging bullets has never been that big of a deal to me. Bring it on I said to [...]

By now I have reviewed Marvel VS Capcom 3‘s basic gameplay system and its plethora of modes, however there are still a few things left to review. The gameplay system is easily one of the best things the game has going for it, and the modes are hit or bit, but what I’m about to [...]

Unlike the core fighting system of Marvel VS Capcom 3, the mode selection you have is a bit more hit or miss. The game is filled with options that run the gamut of awesome innovation to glaring omission. I suppose no game is perfect, but some of the design choices here are just really weird. [...]

We have been waiting for Marvel VS Capcom 3 for ten years guys. Ten years. This game has received so much hype, reviewers have begun analyzing it far deeper than any other recent fighting game release. Some people are singing its praises, while others are highlighting its flaws, but both only tell a portion of [...]

With the DS quickly approaching the end of its lifespan, publishers are scrambling to release their last hurrah for the most popular handheld of this generation. Ghost Trick is Capcom’s last hurrah, and it sums up much of what the DS did for portable gaming. The DS introduced touch-based gameplay, showed how effective simple mechanics [...]

Our favorite Disney/Final Fantasy crossover franchise continues with Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded, and after we got to see Terra kill his father in Birth by Sleep (OOPS SPOILERS) we couldn’t wait to see what screwed up depths of darkness this game descended into. Unfortunately, it wasn’t nearly as dark as we were hoping for, but [...]

Lost in Shadow is a brilliant little 2D platformer for the Wii that you probably don’t know about. The game puts you in control of a shadow severed from its body, and it’s your job to guide this shadow through a tower filled with traps and monsters in order to reunite it with the boy [...]

We all have seen the Angry Video Game Nerd’s reviews of the Back to the Future games for the NES, and we all know that they are pretty much garbage. Fewer of us know of the Back to the Future game for the SNES, made only in Japan, that was surprisingly decent because we never [...]
