I stumbled across this review I wrote last year while browsing through my drafts, so I decided to publish it as my first “Playing Catch-up” review. These are reviews of older games that I only got around to playing a fair while after their release, or re-reviews of games that have changed greatly since I’ve [...]

Counter Strike: Source saw a major overhaul a few days ago with the release of its long-awaited Mac patch. Now Mac gamers can join in on Counter Terrorist vs Terrorist battles in one of the most popular multiplayer games to date, but this update did a lot more than merely add Mac support. It would [...]

The newly released Firepower weapons pack has changed Shattered Horizon into an entirely different game. Okay, so it’s still a shooter featuring teams of astronauts duking it out in the cold, dark void of space. And there are still the three gametypes of skirmish, assault and battle across eight maps, four of which were released [...]

I’ve spent days roaming the country, fleeing from my home only to land in the midst of an enormous battle. And when all seemed lost, I was spirited to safety, only to roam the lands for assistance against a new Blight; a rising of Darkspawn. But Ferelden’s inhabitants are not without problems of their own, [...]

I was going to give Darkest of Days a run tonight, but a friend got me to try Nation Red. A new action game by independent developer Diezelpower, that was released only five days ago (on Steam). The basic premise seemed promising: a zombie shooter in the style of games like Alien Shooter and Shadowgrounds. [...]

Last week saw the release of a new singleplayer DLC-pack for F.E.A.R. 2 (my review) entitled “Reborn”. Obviously I picked it up on Steam right away, and I just finished playing through the five acts (four maps) of singleplayer content that it adds to the game. So, is it worth the 7,99 euro price tag? [...]

Today I received my copy of Wolfenstein and immediately got a few good hours of multiplayer action in. Return to Castle Wolfenstein still ranks as my all-time favourite team-based multiplayer game (Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory coming in second), so you can imagine that I was stoked to join in on the Wolfenstein multiplayer fun. The pre-launch [...]

A third-person shooter with Lego-like characters, 10-minute solo games and plenty of gore. This essentially sums up Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood, a newly released indie-game by Sakari Indie. But beneath this simple shell lies a challenging and enjoyable game. A game that can fill those short time gaps where you want to play a [...]

A few weeks ago I finally found the time to play through Monolith‘s latest title: F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. I was a big fan of the original game, which offered a compelling story married with good FPS gameplay and excellent graphics, but was marred by a lack of variety and a very open ending. I [...]

A first-person parkour game, Mirror’s Edge was released last year by Electronic Arts in an effort to improve their public image by publishing more innovative games.  And innovative is certainly a moniker that suits this game, with it’s first-person running and climbing action. It’s been a long time coming, but I recently got around to [...]

Flight Sims. Excercises in masochism, or mindnumbingly simplistic aerial shooters. They come in all sorts and sizes… and I’ve barely played any of them. You see, I’ve never been much of a flight game player, unless it’s of the space-faring sort. Yet last week a flight game caught my attention after a surprisingly engaging demo. [...]

I had been using the Razer Barracuda as my headset of choice for a long time, but when my third Barracuda broke within a year I decided that it was time to look for something else. Rather quickly I stumbled across a relatively new (roughly a year old) pair of headphones from Sennheiser: the HD [...]
