Review: Bionic Commando: ReArmed
Released back in 1988 (and 1990 in Europe), the game remained in the hearts of many gamers back then (not us, unfortunately), stirring demand for a remake on more recent times. This is where this game comes in. A 2.5D remake of the platformer with lots of swingy action....
Review: Skate 3
Skateboarding games have come a long way, I’m really not sure where to start with this review, as my last skateboarding game experience was during the Dreamcast days with Tony Hawk, whichever part was released on that system back in the day. Nowadays it’s hard to mention a skateboarding...
Review: Bayonetta
Devil May Cry was a game I enjoyed back in the day, The controls were definitely something back in the day. Revisiting that game didn’t go in favor of the game, in fact I started hating it. Several years later, the guy who was held responsible for the direction...
Review: Mass Effect 2
After finishing the first Mass Effect, I was wondering how would they pull off making a sequel without making it totally irrelevant, since they announced it as a trilogy. Even more, I was worried how much they would have changed in the game since they said they’ll be adding...
Review: Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Anyone who knows me very well would know that I don’t play military first person shooters, I don’t like ducking for cover in first person view, it seems a bit unnatural, I feel very disoriented and I end up staying off cover for too long and get shot, then...
Review: Darksiders
Not many realize this, but Darksiders is banned from being sold in the UAE, there is no information on the internet why it got banned other than “contradicts with country’s customs and traditions”, silly I know. Out of curiosity, we bought the game under the table through a disclosed...
Review: Torchlight
After Vivendi decided to shut down Blizzard North for not meeting their expectations in making Diablo 3 (businessmen destroying games as usual), several guys who used to be from Blizzard North created the financial disaster known as Hellgate: London, then they made the game that disappeared from existence, Mythos....
Review: Dark Void
When GRIN’s Bionic Commando came along, it caused quite a stir, fanboys hated it because it wasn’t “true to it’s predessor” and “didn’t have the original Bionic Commando spirit”. Despite all the hate it got from “fans”, the game was actually quite good, in fact it was among our...
Review: Borderlands
I always have a thing for RPGs. And I also like FPSs when I’m in the mood for them. This game combines the two, giving a proper combination of both, and not an FPS with RPG elements as an afterthought. This game shares many elements with other games such...
Review: Mass Effect
At Lochal archade we aren’t new to western role playing games, we’ve played a good share of Elder Scrolls, Wizardry, Jade Empire, Never Winter Nights and the like, and we never been new to games with science fiction themes, we’ve been exposed to Ringworld, Beneath a Steel Sky, Fallout...
