More AMD E350 game testing volume 1
You didn’t really think I’d abandon the whole testing, did you? The Viao Y-series (remember that the hp pavilion dm1 can do this stuff too if modified the way I modified my Viao) has been going through more tests and has been showing a lot more promise. Before we...
Review: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion – Game of the Year Edition
This is a revised old review done back in 2009, if this review seems familiar, you probably might have read it before in an old version of the site. So Western RPGs haven’t had a huge success here, since Japanese RPGs a very popular in this part of the...
Review: Battlefield 3 – Multiplayer
Despite my strong opinions on what makes a good game and how versed I keep myself with video games, I am less competitive than many people think I am when it comes to multiplayer. I don’t play fighting games, strategy games are restricted to only people I know (end...
Review: Batman: Arkham Asylum
I’m not a fan of beat-em-ups, nor am I a fan of stealth gameplay, so when I first saw Batman: Arkham Asylum, I didn’t think the game was for me. However, people kept recommending the game to me, and then at some point, Steam had a nice sale on...

Review: Orcs Must Die!
Tower defense games have shown a prolific catalogue of solid games in recent years, especially with the popularity of mobile gaming. To many though, that’s what tower defense games are, stripped down strategy games for platforms with very limited and minimal control. One might disagree though, a certain old...
Frozen Synapse Coming to iPad in 2012
In a previous interview with Frozen Synapse developer, Mode 7 stated that they were looking into releasing Frozen Synapse to “other platforms” when asked if the game will be released on portables, mobiles and tablets. Well now the truth has finally been revealed! Mode 7 are releasing their tactical...
Review: Batman Arkham City
When a super hero movie is released people should expect a video game based on that movie. These games usually don’t sell that much and sometimes get a bad reviews. However, Batman Arkham City is a different story simply because it has its own story (not based on a...
Review: Battlefield 3 – Singleplayer
Battlefield Bad Company 2 completely wowed me last year, not only was it an excellent game in both multiplayer and singleplayer, but it was a good entry for a first person shooter style that I previously didn’t enjoy. Military shooters in general has its own crowd, but coming out...
Heavy Metal and Video Games
With Metallica going to shake the country in Abu Dhabi as we speak, personally, I won’t be attending the concert (and I know I’ll regret it), but as an homage to the legendary band, I thought it would be a great time to look at the great musical genre...

Review: Cthulhu Saves the World
From the same vein of JRPG silliness that is Breath of Death VII, we have Cthulhu Saves the World. Both games come in a bundle for $2.99, and the first game is easily worth the total asking price. But what about the second game? KhalidWebsite - More Posts
Review: Hard Reset
I’m seeing a very nice trend in today’s shooters, it’s becoming less like the “modern”, slower paced FPSs of today,where you regenerate health if you stay away from the line of fire for long enough in long, straight corridors littered with knee high walls. more and more faster paced...

Review: Warhammer 40,000 SpaceMarine
Many would tell you that Warhammer 40,000 started the whole Spacemarine fiction, they even started the “chainsword” concept way before the chainsaw bayonet that was on Gears of War’s Lancer assault rifle. I’m still very new to the Warhammer universe, only tried Blood Bowl for like 20 minutes and...
Gamefest at Geekfest
We know that Games11 is going to be on tomorrow, but if that’s not your kind of thing, we are organizing a “bring your own computer” LAN party over at the Geekfest. We played Unreal Tournament before, so why not something new? well this time we are playing Team...
Review: Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Sequels usually have big shoes to fill, either the expectations are really high if the series is highly acclaimed, or the expectations are very low if the series have a foul stigma of bad previous games. There was much to be worried about with this new Deus Ex, mainly...
