Blizzard is notorious amongst the gaming community for the exceptional storytelling behind each and every character, the realities they inhabit and the games that give those worlds life. Heaven’s Devils, penned by William C. Dietz, while not the most superb example of narrative is still notable for the aspects of the overarching Starcraft story that [...]

Snoopy Flying Ace is the best arcade air combat game since Crimson Skies. And, it may actually be better. Don’t let the Peanuts license scare you off; Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and all of their friends have little to do with the actual game. You may find a tad more enjoyment if you are a Peanuts [...]

Imagine a cold spring morning; it’s the time of year when the temperature is slowly shifting from the lifeless cold of winter to the gentle, cool breezes of springtime. The light of the sun climbs across the ground and pours through the cracks in your curtains, and a methodical, rising sound lulls you from a [...]

As a kid, I would constantly be terrified by the subtle horrors that Stephen King would give to life in his creative works, wrestling with nightmares while still utterly compelled in my anxiousness to turn the next page and see what happens next. The same can be said for Alan Wake, which conducts the exact [...]

Even with the aid of hindsight, it’s difficult to imagine what the creative minds at Bungie were thinking when they began creating Halo. After the release of the game, which launched alongside Microsoft’s original Xbox, Halo remained a blockbuster hit throughout the lifespan of the console. Over roughly the last decade since then, the series [...]

When Alpha Protocol was announced back in 2008, it was touted as the next step for American RPGs. Two years have passed and following on the heels of such genre-stretching RPGs as Mass Effect 2 and Borderlands, the finished product comes up short, instead revealing itself to be more of a technical blunder with appealing [...]

As jazz bands have standards, the types of songs many musicians rearrange and make their own, the video game inspired music world also has their standard video games which everyone covers. It seems one of the most often rearranged, remixed and recreated soundtrack is the NES classic Mega Man 2. That is surely not to [...]

Many publishers have been perusing their catalogs to see what can be resurrected and reintroduced to any platform in this current generation. While some revived games are excellent HD remakes or merely an endearing, unstable homage to the original manifestation, it is difficult to discredit the demand from the gaming population for the return of [...]

Back in the days of the NES, racing games really came into their own and began to truly stand out as an interestingly viable genre for gamers and non-gamers alike. The whimsicality of titles like Micro Machines and RC Pro A.M. inspired interest and continued to draw potential players in with competition that was able [...]

Final Fight: Double Impact delivers two great games for one low price: Final Fight and Magic Sword. Despite their old age, both games hold up surprisingly well – I was most surprised by how much I still enjoyed Magic Sword – and the presentation is some of the best I have ever seen in a [...]
