Warp review: Patchwork puzzle action

by Xav de Matos (Feb 17th 2012 5:00PM)

The premise behind Warp is as easy to remember as its name. Captured by a group of scientists and their dimwitted security squadron, an adorable alien named Zero breaks free from his shackles to run amok throughout an underwater installation. How does he move about? He warps, of course, from one ...

Deja Review: Alan Wake (PC)

by Xav de Matos (Feb 16th 2012 5:00PM)

We're of the firm opinion that your time is too precious, too valuable to be spent reading a full review for a game that was already reviewed many, many years ago. What's the point of applying a score to a game that's old enough to be enrolled in the sixth grade? That's why we invented Deja Review: ...

Lumines Electronic Symphony review: Three-part harmony

by JC Fletcher (Feb 14th 2012 1:00PM)

This is going to sound incredibly entitled, I know, but reviewing video games can be very stressful work -- especially in the case of a new console launch, where you're given more games than you'd normally play in a year and asked to absorb them all in a week. Under conditions like those, it's ...

Twisted Metal review: On cruise control

by David Hinkle (Feb 14th 2012 12:00PM)

We all have guilty pleasures, those things we enjoy but are afraid to tell others about, because deep down we know how terrible we are for enjoying them. The Twisted Metal series has always been that way for me. As my prepubescent self might have exclaimed at the series' introduction so many years ...

UFC Undisputed 3 review: Pride Fighting

by Mike Suszek (Feb 13th 2012 7:00PM)

I hate BJ Penn. "Hate" might be a strong word, but twice now he's thwarted my attempts to win the UFC Lightweight Championship title. While pummeling my way to 30 wins feels rewarding, my five losses (two from Penn) are an inescapable stain on my record. Falling from the #2 ranking to #7 is ...

Little Deviants review: Little interest

by Richard Mitchell (Feb 13th 2012 11:00AM)

Most new consoles tend to launch with something designed to showcase the hardware's abilities. Such games are generally designed to wow new adopters with all the snazzy tricks their new toy can do. The best of these combine plenty of graphical bells and whistles with innovative gameplay mechanics ...
