Comments (3) |
Before it was cool to sneak around in the dark with a flashlight shining on your back, the face of stealth gaming was a thief named Garrett who lurked in the shadows of a steampunk city. Looking Glass Studios released Thief: The Dark Project in 1998 and redefined the genre,...

Sam & Max: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak Review |
Comments (0) |
It feels as though The Tomb of Sammun-Mak is holding back. After all the creative ideas at work in the previous episode, what we're given here is best left on the cutting room floor. Unfortunately, the derivative puzzles and ancillary story and aren't glossed over with the slick presentation.

Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx DLC Review |
Comments (4) |
Yet while General Knoxx makes some solid improvements, it also takes some serious steps back. Gearbox's approach to fixing the game's difficulty is completely ham-handed—most enemies you face are two to four levels higher than you. It ends up being too challenging, unfair, and not fun.

Sam & Max: The Penal Zone Review |
Comments (0) |

Mass Effect 2 Review |
Comments (5) |
Mass Effect 2 builds off the original game with a range of both improvements and failings. The adventure comes just shy of Mass Effect’s achievements, yet it upholds a worthwhile experience in its own right.

BioShock 2 Review |
Comments (6) |
If innovation and genre-busting is a juicy succulent steak, then BioShock 2 takes a paltry nibble, spits it out, and tosses the remains in the garbage.

Our review of the sequel to Left 4 Dead. Is it worth your hard-earned cash as a standalone game, or is it just a glorified expansion?

Anka Review |
Comments (2) |
Who says all of PC gaming has to be masculine buff dudes shooting each other or a commander strategically leading troops into battle? PC gaming has an open invitation for developers to make games of any nature. With Anka, that audience will most likely be children under the age of...
