Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition Plus Review
Sep 26, 2014
The HD PVR 2 has seen many iterations, but the latest is a beast that is known as the Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition Plus. It’s a mouthful to say, but an absolute pleasure to work with.
Defense Grid 2 Review
Sep 23, 2014
You may recall the Defense Grid 2 Kickstarter being something of a failure before a private investor got involved to ensure the funding was successful. The second installment of Defense Grid does not disappoint, this is a proper sequel that builds on what made the original so great. There’s some new twists to the formula, but in the end this is still tower defense – a damn fine one at that.
Anomaly 2 (PS4) Review
Sep 16, 2014
Originally planned for earlier this year, Anomaly 2 is making its PS4 debut after a slight delay. The result is the same game that released early last year, but for those who missed out, or have been anxiously waiting, are in for some visual splendor and a challenging game of tower offense.
Iron Fisticle Review
Sep 16, 2014
I have no idea what a “Fisticle” is, but I do know what “Iron” is. It’s how hard Iron Fisticle‘s level of challenge is. With no difficulty to choose from, the game can often be intimidating. But it’s dastardly fun, and a project over four years in the making. It shares similarities with other arena shooters of past and present, but this monster-themed shooter stands out with the inclusion of co-op and a visually appealing palette.
Train Fever Review
Sep 11, 2014
All over the world, the advent of the locomotive created an explosion in creating trans-national travel speedy compared to other means, back in the 1800s. In PC gaming, train simulations have recaptured these historic events by allowing you total control. After a successful Gambitious campaign, Train Fever was allowed to be made, and is dubbed an “unofficial remake of Transport Tycoon“. Train Fever is a simulation game that is nation-agnostic and allows you to build up a railroad monopoly from scratch.
Relic has migrated Dawn Of War II series off of GFWL over to Steam
Sep 09, 2014
After months of running an Open Beta on Steam, Relic has finished migrating all multiplayer and achievements from Games For Windows Live for Dawn of War II and Dawn Of War II: Chaos Rising to Steam. It is worth noting Dawn of War II: Retribution already launched using Steamworks in 2011, sans GFWL.
Madden NFL 15 Review
Sep 05, 2014
♪ Defense, defense / we want the ball / we want the ball hey ♫ This year’s Madden is where defense comes to play. After some harsh criticism for what was supposed to be not only the next-generation debut of the series on new consoles, but a celebration of 25 years of Madden, Madden NFL 25 was met with disappointment. Madden NFL 15 is a redo of sorts, with a heavier focus on development for what is now current-generation systems and major changes to the tried-and-true, the results are overwhelmingly positive and a reinvigoration for the series.
Runers Review
Sep 02, 2014
Runers is a dungeon crawler that encourages experimentation and lots of replayability, in similar fashion to the likes of The Binding of Isaac, Spelunky, and Desktop Dungeons. These games share common threads: they have permadeath, roguelike elements, and arena combat. You’ll circle-strafe around enemies while firing magical projectiles as you reduce their health bar to nothing like a spell-casting badass.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition Review
Aug 26, 2014
The Diablo franchise has been absent on consoles since the first incarnation on the original PlayStation. Since then, it has been PC only. Diablo III released to the previous generation of consoles last year. And so, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition is mouthful to say, but contains a compilation of an original game and its recent expansion, with a whole host of changes exclusive to the console that PC players will be begging for.
