Overdue Review: A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda (PC)

While staring longingly at his Steam library waiting for Dead Space 2 to unlock, Butler killed some time with Extend Interactive's A.R.E.S., a 2.5D platformer featuring robots, explosions, and some shredding 80's style guitar.  But do these objectively awesome elements combine to make a worthwhile experience?  Short answer: Yes. Longer answer after the jump!

Diamonds In The Rough: 3 Games That Are Almost Awesome

You wouldn't believe it from reading my reviews, but there are games out there that are in fact neither the worst thing ever created nor the second coming of He who is Christ.  Sometimes, a great idea simply gets screwed up by the game that gets in the way.  Will some of these (slightly older) titles tickle your fancy in spite of their flaws?   More after the jump!

Retrospective Review: Deus Ex (PC)

June 22nd, 2010 will mark the 10 year anniversary of a little title called Deus Ex.  Perhaps you remember it.  It was, after all, one of the first titles of its type (Shooter with a smattering of RPG elements).  But revisiting these old titles, as I learned the hard way with Hitman 2 can sometimes make it too clear that these titles were simply stepping stones, rather than independently good titles.  So what has the decade done to Deus Ex? By god, let's find out!

Guild Wars 2: Could It Make MMO's Not Suck?

With all of the hype about (*sigh*) World of Warcraft, it's hard to remember sometimes that there are other MMO games out there.  Other, equally generally terrible MMOs, that is.  So why am I kind of excited for Guild Wars 2?

TIMELY Review: Beat Hazard (PC)

Cold Beam Games' Beat Hazard is a fresh twist on an the old classic, Asteroids.  The twist?  Enemy sets, weapon power, and level strategies are influenced by the background music you select (from your own music library no less).  Can this indie interloper compete with the big dogs?
