Any dystopic-future based game which starts in the land of Detroit is off to a great start in my book. I’ve lived here all my life and can already see the decay forming on the seams of the city. In 15 years Detroit may resemble the opening of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, however, I hope this never comes to fruition and instead installs the OCP/RoboCop style of future I wanted to see as a kid. Never... 

When I first heard about the releasing of a caged animal: Age of Empires Online, I noticed the developer listed as Gas Powered Games (otherwise known as Chris Taylor – Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, etc.) instead of the original Ensemble Studios which were responsible for the first iterations of Age of Empires. Upon further stealth investigation, I found Ensemble Studios are working on a... 

Let me clarify something up front first and foremost since I am not what one might consider a true football fan: I was born in Detroit, Michigan. The very same Detroit who (Ford Motor Company – go figure) owns a football team by the name of the Lions who have never won a Super Bowl, who went an entire season without winning a single game, and who also haven’t been in any form of championship game... 

I can’t help but compare this game to the movie Starship Troopers. The front line soldiers killing bugs of all sorts? You do a great deal of bug killing to the point of absurdity. Almost. Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is a game from Japan which involves hordes upon hordes of alien bugs invading earth and you mow them down the best way you know how: raw firepower. There’s not much to the... 

If you play video games on the PC or MAC platform, it is in your best interest to download Steam (store.steampowered.com) and sign up for a free account. I couldn’t be more serious: get off your ass and do this. Every computer I build for friends and family come pre-installed with: K-Lite Codec Pack Full, MalwareBytes, iTunes, and Steam. My logic goes something like this: even if you never use these... 

I’m not sure where to begin this week’s review. Catherine as entertainment falls in the same genre as Akido, Spirited Away, and Sailor Moon; which is known as manga animation from Japan. The other side of the coin, however, is more hentai anime, better known as adult manga since the content (and some of the juicy graphics) are adult oriented. Granted, Catherine’s storyline relies on the player... 

The first thing you’ll notice as Captain America: Super Soldier loads is the giant blue SEGA logo filling the screen before the introduction and main menu. The SEGA logo is what first scared the hell out of me, since every film adaptation for the Marvel brand created by SEGA has been, we’ll call them “doodoo” since I can’t throw an explicit tag on a written review. However, you may know... 

Most video game review readers whilst reading a review will skip through all the fancy words and sometimes check out the pros and cons, maybe a tagline or two and focus primarily on the end rating. Some will even stop to look at the pretty pictures. I recently reviewed Part 1 of Deathly Hallows and to be quite honest, the only thing different between this game and the first is the title – with maybe... 

I would not have believed it either, except when I came home from work one day, I found a huge coffin-like box sitting by my side door from FedEx with a return address for Harmonix. Upon opening the aforementioned coffin, I was pleasantly surprised to find an Xbox 360 game with unique controllers and costumes all related to the Harry Potter universe. My first impressions were somewhat mixed –... 

A new Lego game is out, which means hours of family friendly game play, jumping around, building things out of the famous Lego blocks, and tossing spells at each other. That’s right, Lego has moved from the realms of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Batman, and stepped into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter with Lego Harry Potter – Years 1-4. Much like the previous games, Lego Harry Potter follows...
