Review: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

When Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was announced, fans didn't know what to expect. The newest in a long line of titles was touted as a reboot for the series, and seemed to draw heavily from God of War, Prince of Persia, and even Shadow of the Colossus. Is this a true sequel to the fantastic Castlevania games of old? Did MercurySteam and Kojima Productions do the series justice?

Impressions: Dead Space 2 Multiplayer Beta

One could say that the Dead Space series is Visceral Games' flagship. The team put a lot of work into the original title (which is one of my favorite games of all time), and they are showing the same if not a stronger dedication to the sequel Dead Space 2. That being said, there are still a few questions regarding the game's recently-announced multiplayer mode. Does it still feel like Dead Space? Is it scary? Above all, does it show the same polish players expect from the series, or does it merely feel tacked-on?

Review: DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue

Less than 3 months after the release of the original DeathSpank, Hothead Games has brought back their foolhardy titular hero in a sequel titled DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue. Set almost right after the events of the first game, Thongs of Virtue sees the Hero to the Downtrodden getting pulled into a great deal of unusual and humorous tomfoolery.

Two Brains Review: Mushroom Wars

One of the recent bonus releases for PlayStation Plus subscribers was 2009's Mushroom Wars, a real-time strategy title that flew under a lot of gamers' radars. Although Spawn Kill's Eric "TheHerp" Galaviz and Kevin "K-Tuck" Tucker came upon the game at different points in time, they still agree that the game hides surprisingly complex gameplay into an outwardly-simplistic package.

Review: Ys Seven

Xseed Games and developer Nihon Falcom Corporation have done something phenomenal. Their latest title Ys Seven is both a satisfying old-school-styled action RPG and an easily-digestible portable title. While the game might not win any awards for originality, this latest entry to the Ys series has plenty to offer both for series veterans and newcomers alike.

Demon’s Souls Has Become a Greatest Hit

Everyone's favorite super-hard role-playing game Demon's Souls has become one of PlayStation 3's Greatest Hits titles. Not only does this make it easier to find the game (for those who still haven't picked up a copy yet), it drops the price down to a slick 30 bucks. The benefit for people who already own the game is the addition of hints and phantoms within the universe. Demon's Souls players know that having additional players can be a double-edged situation, but the bottom line is that the game experience should become all the richer. The Greatest Hits copies have already been distributed, and should be arriving on store shelves very soon.
