Six Reviewers Really Can’t Agree On Resident Evil 6

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such split opinions on a game like Resident Evil 6.


Pokémon Conquest Poses Triumphantly Over The Battered Bodies Of Game Reviewers

Collecting all the Pokémon in a normal instalment of Nintendo’s beloved role-playing series is a daunting enough task for your average game reviewer. Pokémon Conquest asks them to conquer an entire continent while they do it. Man, Nintendo, cut some critics a little slack.


The Witcher 2 Kicks Reviewer Ass No Matter What Platform It Shows Up On

It would take a lot to ruin game powerful enough to make me write what is essentially fan fiction in my review of the PC version. Looks like CD Projekt just didn’t apply themselves enough to failing. Jerks.


Game Critics Punish Ninja Gaiden 3 For A Change

For years, the folks at Team Ninja have been making poor game reviewers battle their way through some of the most ninja battles in gaming history. With the release of Ninja Gaiden 3 the tables are finally turned.


Kid Icarus: Uprising Flies In The Face Of Game Critics’ Expectations

The Darkness II Weathers The Hellish Attentions Of Game Reviewers

There are plenty of things you can do with a tentacle besides porn, and The Darkness II has them all covered. Jackie Estacado has gone through hell; now he faces an even greater challenge: Critics.


Game Critics Tear NeverDead Limb-From-Limb

Great games often spring from a single brilliant idea, like a protagonist that can pull himself back together after being blown apart. Unfortunately this is also the case for many really crappy games. Where does NeverDead‘s mangled pile of people parts fall?


Game Critics Turn Back The Score Clock On Final Fantasy XIII-2

Tomorrow marks the second time in Final Fantasy history that Square Enix releases a direct console sequel to one of the numbered entries in the fabled series. Considering the first time around we got a trio of pop divas playing dress-up, this one has to be better, right game reviewers?
