  • Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
    Published Date: Oct 26, 2009

    For all the virtual bullets people have fired while playing video games, not a lot of them have come with any sort of sensation of realism attached. Don’t get me wrong, games like Modern Warfare were closer to the mark than some, but features like regenerating health and being able to take...

  • Order of War
    Published Date: Sep 23, 2009

    Finding something new to say about World War II is a real challenge, but that isn’t to say people shouldn’t try. Recently, the fine movie Days of Glory showed the war from the perspective of French colonial troops, fighting for the freedom of a country that considered them second-class ci...

  • Overlord II
    Published Date: Jul 13, 2009

    We’re fans of the whole Overlord premise because it’s more like playing The Sims to us than anything else, with The Man wandering around and us being the minions. And although we have a soft spot for the Overlording theme, we can’t ignore the obvious problems that litter this second instalmen...

  • Okami
    Published Date: May 23, 2008

    Okami, released originally for PS2 in 2006, was never a hit. Critics and selective gaming circles lauded it, sure, but legions of children and hardcore shoot-‘em-up gamers seemed only passingly affected by the game’s charming visuals, barebones gameplay, and mythological backstory. As a result, ...

  • Overlord
    Published Date: Sep 5, 2007

    Everybody loved Sauron in the Lord of the Rings books (and movies), and enjoyed seeing him smash the Elves and humans to pieces on his jaunts out from Mount Doom. But we never really get to play as the bad guy in games, so the arrival of Overlord set many giddiness gauges to overload. For the fi...

  • Over the Hedge
    Published Date: May 14, 2007

    Ah, the beautiful woodlands are full of tiny, cute, furry animals. The ground is carpeted with soft, green grass, and the towering trees provide a canopy of shade. Life is quiet and peaceful. As autumn nears its end, and winter drives forward, they all settle in for a very deep hibernating slumbe...

  • Open Season
    Published Date: Apr 4, 2007

    Lying in bed at night, some people tend to fantasize. As I lull off to sleep, my whimsy turns to my inadequate material existence, imagining the boon a million dollars would bring me and the leechlike humans I call my friends. The good people at PETA, I assume, have different, most likely more ethic...
