Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines
About five years and one computer ago, Activision and developers White Wolf and Troika unleashed on the world a dark, horror-based RPG for PC, known as Vampire The Masquerade: Redemption. While the game was well-received, the main storyline and quest was a bit linear compared to other RPGs on PC, and some aspects of gameplay made it, at times, seem a bit too “Lara Croft-ish.” Well, it took over four years of development, but ...

Hands On: The Getaway: Black Monday
The first Getaway game had you playing as a few different characters in a story that centered around a crime boss in the London crime underground. The first Getaway was marketed by Sony heavily, and had a very big budget. This was shown not only in the impressive marketing campaign, but in the technologies they used to implement real actors into the game. Not only with just voice acting, but also ...

City of Heroes
I’m going to come right out at the beginning of this review, throw out all pretense of credibility and journalistic integrity and just say that city of Heroes is not only one of my favorite games, but that it is nearly impossible for me to review. Oh, sure, I’ll give it a score, tell you about some of the features in the game, but first, allow me to say why I am unable to ...
Sky Blue
I recently had the opportunity to catch Sky Blue in advance of its premiere in Los Angeles (which preceeds a few other limited engagements - which in turn preceeds a wider release). While the film did some things rather well, I was left with a bittersweet taste while the final credits rolled.
Set in the year 2142, a hundred years after the temperatures have risen and toxic rains have fallen for a hundred years, Sky ...
Pikmin 2
The first Pikmin game was wonderful, inventive, funny, cute, involving... and ultimately flawed. The game featured Miyamoto's signature flair for creating game worlds that just beg to be explored, but came with an attached time limit, which sent mixed messages. Look around! Explore! Enjoy! But hurry up, because if you don't you'll die and have to start over.
Perhaps the biggest improvement of Pikmin 2 is the removal of this time limit, the sole flaw ...
SuperPower 2
For those who remember the original, SuperPower was one of the best PC games ever made in the area of strategic global domination. So how can the original be improved upon? By giving it a spiffy new 3D graphic engine, naturally. Before detailing the graphic enhancements, however, let it be said that there are plenty of improvements in SuperPower 2 that go far beyond a graphical facelift. We’ll detail those, as well, in this ...

Somewhere between Gran Turismo and Grand Theft Auto lies a turf war for the top street racing game on the market. The likes of Need for Speed and Midnight Club battle it out with lesser-knowns like Street Racing Syndicate and Midtown Madness, nudging the bar upwards with every new version.
This year, EA didn’t just raise the bar. It threw that thing like a javelin. Need ...
