21Gotham City Impostors Review (XBLA)
Gotham City Impostors is a rare breed. Coming along mere months after the critically acclaimed and long anticipated Batman: Arkham City, Impostors offers you a skewed look at the Batman universe through a pair of mentally imbalanced eyes. Playing as either a member of the ‘Bats’ or the ‘Jokerz,’ two street gangs taking after their favorite costumed celebrity, you will find yourself running and gunning through the streets of Gotham in an inspired and satirical FPS.
“His is the path of righteousness, ours is the path of cordite and home-brew explosives.”
The game is spawned from a four issue story from Detective Comics (#867-870) wherein the Joker drugs Gotham City, causing mass hallucinations leading to Batman inspired… -

Hamburg, February 21, 2012 – With the headline “Isn’t PC Gaming Dead?” emblazoned across the screen, German gaming peripherals manufacturer, ROCCAT Studios, today unveiled a website where they ask for fans’ opinions on the state of PC gaming.
“With all the talk lately,” the message reads, “you’d think PC gaming was over. Some say PC gaming isn’t dead, but think they need to breathe new life into it now and then with yet another ‘groundbreaking’ reinvention. But is all that necessary? Does PC gaming need a doctor? Does it need an undertaker?”
Says René Korte, ROCCAT™ Founder and CEO: “We hope to get gamers thinking about where things are headed for PC gaming. Certain gaming peripheral companies…

Shank 2 – A Review (XBLA)
Developer Klei has brought its bloody 2D brawler back to Xbox Live Arcade with the release of Shank 2. Sequels are always in a funny position with me, be it video game sequels or movie sequels. You always hope that the sequel is better then the original, but more often then not, the sequel just let’s you down and can’t deliver on what the original brought. Will Shank 2 deliver a better experience then the original Shank, or are we looking at just another effort to get your money out of your wallet? Let’s find out with my full review of Shank 2 for the Xbox 360.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Review (PS3)
Okay, let me try this again…
I got most of the way through my first review of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning by the time I got a call from my editor asking for a progress update. We talked over the game for a bit and I found myself admitting to feelings that were very contrasting to the way my review was piecing together. I wanted so badly to like this game. An open world action RPG with deep customization? Right up my alley. It has everything going for it. It’s the first major release from Curt Schilling’s (yes, THAT Curt Schilling) 38 Studios. The game has a tremendous pedigree of talent. New York Times bestselling author…
King Arthur 2: The Role-playing Wargame Review (PC/Steam)
I consider myself lucky that a while back I had the opportunity to play Total War: Shogun 2 and review it for Gaming Shogun. At the time I felt lucky because I got to experience the immense depth and choice players had when playing that game and how it had great replay value due to all the choices. You even had a choice of how deep you went, you could play it a lot like a Risk simple strategy game or you could go in and orchestrate the movements of each of your units each step through the battlefield. I tried a bit of each and still it took days, weeks, just to get a…
ASH II: Shadows Quick-Review (iOS)
ASH II: Shadows is Konami’s follow-up to the well-received ASH on the iOS platform. A JRPG in the vein of the original Final Fantasy, ASH II features a lot of crisp, hand-drawn visuals that really pop on the iPhone 4S retina display. The game follows the story of an ostracized warrior and the party members he teams up with. While the writing in the game is somewhat cliche, overall the story gets communicated well and, along with the visuals, really help to sell the game world. In fact, several times I could not wait to find out what was going to happen next in the chapter.
Throughout the course of the story’s first chapter (the game…
Law & Order: Legacies (PC/Steam)
So there were plenty of nights that we would watch a television show that makes the noise Dun Dun throughout it. We would follow the witnesses as they discover the victim and continue as the process carried right through the sentencing of someone who may or may not be guilty and may or may not be found so. It usually had some degree of closure and most episodes tied up the story, sometimes neatly, other times as messy as the audience could except. Dick Wolf has continued to bring up Law And Order in many fashions over the longest running television crime series ever so it would make sense that eventually they would make a…

Quarrel – A Review (XBLA)
It’s been a while since my last review, thanks to the holiday hangover in regards to game releases, but today I get back into the saddle with my review of Quarrel for the Xbox Live Arcade. Quarrel was originally released for the iOS market a few months ago from developer Denki, due to the fact that they couldn’t find a publisher to release the game for any other system, until now. The XBLA version of Quarrel is far superior to the iOS version in almost every way, with online multiplayer and more game content, such as additional game modes. This version may have more bells and whistles the last version to be released, but is…
