Reviews

This may not be the weakest comedy film to come along in recent memory, but it’s certainly unforgettable.

Dungeon Fighter Live: Fall of Hendon Myre review (XBLA)

While this PC-to-console port can be entertaining and offers some fun moments for Dungeon Fighter Online fans, in the long run it fails to give players a substantially satisfying experience.

Resonance review (PC)

Challenging and aesthetically old school, this point-and-click adventure game features an interesting plot and some enjoyable gameplay mechanics for fans of the genre to really enjoy.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance review (3DS)

The latest entry in the Square Enix/Disney series of RPGs is an absolute winner, offering everything a fan of the franchise could want. That makes is wonder, why the heck is this game not on a home platform?

Deadlight review (XBLA)

Great atmosphere and fun 2D gameplay make this XBLA title a fun play, even if it does a lose a lot of momentum throughout.

Astro Gaming A50 wireless headset review (Gadgets)

At $299, this gaming headset doesn’t come cheap, but it does provide a great sound experience that gamers with some cash on them might consider investing in.

Razer Naga review (Gadgets)

Sleek, comfortable, and incredibly functional, this gaming mouse can easily be considered the real deal.

Heroes of Ruin review (3DS)

This handheld hack-and-slash RPG is not without its flaws, but it’s still a great deal of fun for 3DS owners looking for a Diablo-esque experience on a much smaller scale.

Gungnir review (PSP)

If you’re looking for some tactical RPG gameplay and a reason to turn your PSP back on again, Atlus has you covered.

Total Recall review (Movies)

This remake falls short on multiple levels, and ultimately, movie watchers should opt out of spending their cash on watching this unnecessary flick.
