Reviews

LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes review (Xbox 360, PS3)

The Lego-fied version of the Dark Knight returns once more, ready to deliver punishment to the vile criminals of the night. This time, though, he gets some help from other DC characters, and the results are definitely positive.

RayStorm review (iOS)

It may be a bit on the pricey side, but RayStorm delivers a satisfying mobile shmup experience that's pleasantly old school and totally engaging.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter review (Movies)

Boring, unfunny, and underwhelming, this film manages to lack everything that makes a movie memorable. While we won't say it's the worst movie, it's far from being the best, or even the most rightfully average for that matter.

Pokemon Conquest review (DS)

The latest Pokemon spin-off is easily one of the best, and it delivers a compelling, addictive, and entertaining experience on the DS that fans of the series should not miss.

Brave review (Movies)

More Dreamworks than Disney-Pixar, this fantasy tale manages to deliver a fun experience for movie-goers, even if it isn't up to par with past efforts from the studio.

Quantum Conundrum review (XBLA, PSN)

Fun puzzles make up the bulk of this downloadable title, and while there's certainly a worthwhile experience here, there's nothing too special about Quantum Conundrum.

The Amazing Spider-Man review (PS3)

Beenox deliver the best Spider-Man experience in recent memory with its latest offering and proves that there's still room for someone other than Batman in the "good comic book games" spectrum.

Spec Ops: The Line review (Xbox 360, PS3)

Folks looking for a war game with a strong story element that really messes with your head, the game you've been waiting for has arrived.

Marvel Pinball 3D review (XBLA, PSN)

Zen Studios delivers yet another exciting game of pinball for fans of the series and Marvel Comics aficionados.
