XenoWars:REBUILT

Empires At War

Terraria

Make the world as you want it; craft a story of your choosing; be a character of your own making.

A cosmic force set me down on a land previously untouched by human hands. When I first landed I thought it intended me to tame the world, to show my mastery over it by proving that human ingenuity can conquer any problem... Read Full Review

Fire Emblem: Shin Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Ken

Some say, been there, done that, we should ask, why aren't newer SRPG's as well-designed as this older game?

SRPG's are a very curious category of game, and, people may play them for different reasons. To my mind, the only important reason to play an SRPG as compared to an RPG, is for the kind of strategy it opens up for you. R... Read Full Review

Poison Pink

A nice cap to Atlus' amazing strategy RPG run on the PS2

With Disgaea, Atlus initiated a remarkable run of SRPG's on the PS2. That system became the place to go for deep isometric strategic action. While Eternal Poison lacks the ambitious design of its predecessors, it is a gr... Read Full Review

Enslaved is a rare game that I hope we see more of but I worry that we won't. What kind of game is it? That question is more difficult to answer than it would otherwise seem. You might label it an adventure game, but the... Read Full Review

Halo: Reach

A hearty endorsement from a typically tepid admirer of Halo

I bought the original Xbox upon its release. In fact, i was an eager geek and had it reserved at a nearby CompUsa. Like many gamers, one of my chosen launch titles was Halo: Combat Evolved. It is the rare game that usher... Read Full Review

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

One of the most fun single-player experiences I've had in a long while

I'm not a Tomb Raider fan, nor do I dislike the series. I'm simply not invested in it - in fact I've never played a Tomb Raider game in its entirety before. I say this because series like Tomb Raider, Zelda, Mario often ... Read Full Review

Dragon Age: Origins

An epic RPG in the truest sense

Bioware long ago proved itself a force in RPG's. KOTOR was a pathpreaking experience in narrative delivery as well as narrative participation. Mass Effect, especially the second, is a space epic that stands alone. Biowar... Read Full Review

God of War III

An experience of a very special kind

My first 10 minutes of the first God of War was a revelation just as was my first 10 minutes with Devil May Cry (part one). It was clear something new was coming for gaming. Both games married style to gameplay in ways t... Read Full Review
