Review: Bulletstorm
As hardware and technology advances, so do video games, one genre that had shown rapid advancement (technically) is the first person shooter. While First person shooters have become immensely photo realistic and require a more specific learning curve in order to use your weapons and maneuverability more efficiently, they...
Review: Need for Speed: Hot pursuit
I don’t exactly recall the last Need for Speed game that I thoroughly enjoyed, I mean I don’t exactly recall a bad one since Porsche Unleashed back during the Playstation 1 era. other than that nearly all (or at least the ones I’ve played) of the Need for Speed...
Review: Puzzle Quest
A lot of you have already heard of the Puzzle Quest phenomenon, widely popular among avid gamers and non gamers alike, it’s available on almost every possible platform, very deep yet very easy get into, could last 5 minutes for a game or upto and entire day of just...
Review: Blade Kitten
“mouse and keyboard” platformers are usually a hard find, you have the DOS classic Abuse, the indie game darling series Noitu Love and my personal Favorite, Trine. To explain mouse and keyboard platformers briefly, they use the keyboard controls for movement and the mouse to perform attacks whether they...
Review: Deus Ex
FPS RPGs have definitely come a long way, they sure had gained more popularity with all the recent Fallout 3 (which is more RPG than FPS) and Borderlands. I decided to look at something a litte more earlier, a game I’ve been wanting to play since the days I...
Review: Fragile Dreams: Farwell Ruins of the Moon
Many would remember this was in my list of Games We’re Looking Forward to in 2010, I said I wasn’t too sure whether or not this game was worth looking forward to, or going to be one of the games I might crap on. I mean after all, this...
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: Mad Maestro
Mad maestro is one of those games by a tiny developer company that get brushed aside by much larger titles during the early times of a new console (the Playstation 2 in this case). It’s released under Eidos’ label for niche japanese games, Fresh Games. KhalidWebsite - More Posts
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: Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Dungeon
Roguelikes are a favorite of mine, despite the fact that I didn’t play much of them, but quality overtakes the quantity, always. Our Mystery Dungeon: Shiren The Wanderer review was more of a love letter to the game rather than a hands on report of what I’ve played, I’m...
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...
Review: Brutal Legend
Can anyone make a list of games with rock/metal themes? let’s see here, we got Rock ‘n’ Roll Racing, that was on the SNES and Megadrive (or Genesis if you are stateside)… Heavy Metal series on several platforms but that was more based on the two films more than...
