Sol Survivor Review

I’ve been playing the single player campaign for Sol Survivor for over a week now and this weekend I got to spend some time playing the verses and co-op modes. I have seen a lot of people comparing Sol Survivor to Defense Grid (which I loved), but really I do not think it is fair […]

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 Review

I remember really enjoying Marvel Ultimate Alliance (MUA) when it released a few years back so when the sequel came out I knew I wanted to check it out.  If you played MUA then you are pretty familiar with what to expect in MUA2. The game play is pretty much the same as the original […]

Arkedo Series – 01 JUMP! Impressions

I’m generally not a fan of (and not very good at) platformers, but when I saw the sweet 8-bit retro graphics in Arkedo Series – JUMP! I knew I has to check it out. The graphics are really sweet and blocky with great use of color and contrast. The goal of each level is to […]

Red Faction Guerrilla Smasher Pack Impressions

I picked up the Red Faction Guerrilla Smasher Pack DLC yesterday which includes 8 new maps and a new game mode, Behemoth, for Wrecking Crew. I’ll admit right up front that I do have one complaint about the Smasher Pack.  It does not add support for playing Wrecking Crew over Xbox Live. I don’t want […]
