Hands on: Condemned 2 demo is short and sweet

By the time I’ve blown through the Condemned 2 demo, the Turok download was still stuck at 37% and it was already growing dark.

Haze video preview shows compelling features
876 days ago by Mike | 3 CommentsFrankly, I’ve always been skeptical of Haze, the PS3 exclusive being developed by Free Radical Design because it looked like a poor man’s version of Crysis when facing the game’s vegetation. I felt that there wasn’t any major feature that compelled me to get the upcoming FPS when it comes … More »

Uncharted first impressions
From what I’ve played so far, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is more satisfying than the PC version of Gears of War. They may seem like apples and oranges to you, but these two games are more similar than you think.

Unreal Tournament 3 hands-on impressions
If I’m not sucking blood in nightclubs and shooting zombies on the head, I’m spending quality time with the Unreal Tournament 3 demo, which is now available for download. I chose to prioritize it over the Call of Duty 4 demo (which is also available) because of one very important … More »

Call of Duty 4 for the DS might not suck like other handheld shooters
1058 days ago by Mike | 8 CommentsThe last major shooter franchise that graced the DS left a bad aftertaste. Sure, Brothers in Arms looked pretty, its levels were of considerable size for a handheld game, and the explosions are a visual treat. Those are good stuff that you’d notice when you watch the trailers, but things … More »

Next Medal of Honor has more non-linear levels
If there’s one thing I’ve always hated with Medal of Honor games, it’s the linear gameplay. Playing a level almost feels like I’m on rails because there’s only one path, and I can’t make any deviations on that path. It’s true that through the years, EA has made steps to … More »

Call of Duty 4 is lighting it up
1171 days ago by Mike | 2 CommentsWhat makes our shooters look great? More textures and polygons? Yes and yes. But the feature that sets them apart from other smaller details that you may overlook is lighting. Don’t believe me? Boot up F.E.A.R. and try playing the game with low lighting details.
