I haven’t played enough of Bloody Good Time yet to write a full-fledged review, but I’ve played enough of it to tell you that the title doesn’t lie. If anything, it undersells itself; I’ve had a pretty great time with it so far. Bloody Good Time is the sequel to a game called The Ship. I’d never heard of it before this, so I can’t really compare the two. But the basic concept is this — In the main game mode,... Read→
Being a huge Star Wars fan myself, stuff like this makes my ears perk right on up. This week on Steam, every day we’ll see a new LucasArts game go on sale. (Today, Monday, it’s The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition. It’s only $7.50. Sweet.) While I wholeheartedly recommend you pick up The Force Unleashed, as it is one of my favourite Star Wars games of all time (such a great story), make sure your computer can run it first.... Read→
Red Dead Redemption was a widely-anticipated Rockstar game that hit shelves May 18th this year. Rockstar are the same guys that brought us the hugely popular Grand Theft Auto series, as well as Max Payne, the Midnight Club series, and others. Although it is a spiritual successor to 2004′s Red Dead Revolver, not much relates back to it, other than the western setting. You play as John Marston, an ex-gangster in the early 1900′s who is...

The original Kane & Lynch game, entitled “Dead Men,” came out late 2007 to much critical insult and generally negative reviews, both among popular outlets and individual reviewers. It was praised for its cinematic stylings and fun multiplayer game types, but bashed on a constant basis for outdated gameplay and lack of depth/polish. Many reviewers agreed: It would have been a decent game if it had been worked on a bit longer. It had... Read→

All Points Bulletin (henceforth APB) is an upcoming MMORPG like no other. Instead of grinding for hours on end and doing quests to level up, you hit the streets GTA-style. It’s a cops-and-robbers kind of game, where you get to choose which side your character is on and duke it out over the ‘net. It looks really interesting, and it’s something that I’ve been excited for for quite a bit now. The one thing I’ve been wondering... Read→
If there’s anything that I love more than a great game, it’s a great game with committed developers. MAG is an online first-person shooter that supports a massive 256-player game size, making for incredibly large-scale battles. I haven’t tried it out yet, but it looks fantastic, and I’ve been following the news on it since the game was announced. A lot of the news has been posted on the Playstation blog, where developers and... Read→
