    A great setting ruined by poor execution

    Alien Trilogy

    By grantcorp | Review Date: Apr 30, 2006 | PC

    A great setting ruined by poor execution

    The Trilogy is loosely based on the first three movies, or rather the second and the third. Its ambience is excellent with a soundtrack that really shines on some levels, and the cut scenes are decent. However, gameplay ... Read Full Review

    Frantic Syndicate-style squad combat done just right!

    Abomination

    By grantcorp | Review Date: Apr 30, 2006 | PC

    Frantic Syndicate-style squad combat done just right!

    To me, Abomination offers a lot of the things which I want from a squad based game; a suitably twisted and interesting storyline, tense missions, especially at the insertion point, lots of weapons and gear to play around... Read Full Review

    Chaos theory camouflaged as a strategy game...

    7th Legion

    By grantcorp | Review Date: Apr 30, 2006 | PC

    Chaos theory camouflaged as a strategy game...

    7th Legion looks like a regular sci-fi Red Alert-clone, but at the heart it is nothing more than a frantic shooter where you are more or less along for the ride. When first playing you will probably start planning out y... Read Full Review

    Interesting game concept worthy of a try

    Project Nomads

    By grantcorp | Review Date: Apr 30, 2006 | PC

    Interesting game concept worthy of a try

    As for strange game concepts this one sure is a winner. You play a reckless adventurer travelling around on this island in a "sea of floating rocks". The nonsensical excuse for a story has the usual pitfalls and pointl... Read Full Review

    Just... don't... bother...

    Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza

    By grantcorp | Review Date: Dec 09, 2006 | PC

    Just... don't... bother...

    This is the first time I have played a game tied so closely to a movie, and I am surprised they managed to pull it off. While some liberties have been taken with the storyline to flesh out the game and add some new local... Read Full Review

    Re-enlisting with the Mobile Armor Division

    Shogo: Mobile Armor Division

    By grantcorp | Review Date: Dec 03, 2006 | PC

    Re-enlisting with the Mobile Armor Division

    It has been a couple of years since I played Shogo and I always had very fond memories of it so I was a bit nervous when installing it again. Unpatched it ran free of hassles on my XP installation save for the odd crash ... Read Full Review

    The spiritual descendant of Thunderhawk.

    Operation Air Assault 2

    By grantcorp | Review Date: Sep 03, 2011 | PC

    The spiritual descendant of Thunderhawk.

    Much like the M1A1 MBT, the Apache is not exactly a newcomer to the gaming community. Being a seventies design, the AH-64 first appeared in the U.S. inventory in the early 1980s and made its first appearance in the class... Read Full Review

    A wholly unsatisfying experience.

    Pariah

    By grantcorp | Review Date: Aug 23, 2008 | PC

    A wholly unsatisfying experience.

    Pariah is one of those soulless glitterfests that attempt to compensate for lack of purpose with special effects. And while it relies on well-trodden FPS-clichées it still doesn't get them quite right. At the center o... Read Full Review

    Was it all just a dream?

    Agony

    By grantcorp | Review Date: Jul 23, 2007 | AMI

    Was it all just a dream?

    Psygnosis always had a reputation for releasing artistically pleasing games and Agony certainly was the pinnacle among them. And just like other games they released such as Shadow of the Beast and Awesome it was (and rem... Read Full Review

    Devastation

    By grantcorp | Review Date: Sep 06, 2006 | PC

    In 2075, the world uses laser weapons, cloned soldiers and 100 year old Scania trucks.

    Devastation is one of those shooters that puts you smackdown in the middle of a dystopian near future world full of decaying buildings and littered streets. Even though it is clear a lot of energy was spent on crafting a... Read Full Review

    Well, if you played them all, you might want to try this one too.

    Red Faction II

    By grantcorp | Review Date: Aug 19, 2006 | PC

    Well, if you played them all, you might want to try this one too.

    Having played the original Red Faction your first impressions will be that these two games have very little in common, and unfortunately that the original was the better PC game. RF2 has a console feel to it, with bland ... Read Full Review

    Having those flashbacks of 1943 again...

    World War II: Pacific Heroes

    By grantcorp | Review Date: Aug 04, 2006 | PC

    Having those flashbacks of 1943 again...

    The pacific arena has lent itself to many arcade flight combat games over the years, presumably because of the exotic palette of the tropical islands. You'd be forgiven for thinking this is yet another travel brochure on... Read Full Review
