No other game in recent memory has had the turbulent will-they-or-won’t-they existence that has plagued Terminal Reality’s Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Almost forcibly announced after a tech demo (from another company) was released to entice Sony into signing them, the game was to be published by Sierra (which was part of the VU Games group) and should have been out

MLB Dugout Heroes aims to be an accessible, arcade-like experience that puts players in the shoes of Major League players and allows them to take on a less-hardcore experience to America’s Greatest Past Time. The game is incredibly successful in this regard, distilling the sport of baseball into an interactive point-and-click that is easy for anyone no matter your age,

In 2005, independent developer Introversion Software rocked the PC gaming world with its hit Darwinia. In the game, you were in control of an army of green Tron like sprites that inhabited a server when a virus called “Red Viral” broke out and threatened the land of the Darwinians. It was up to you to control your forces to defeat

Soulcalibur was one of those games that defined a generation. Gone were the days of two dimensional fighting games. With Soulcalibur came total 3D environments, the lighting, textures, camerawork, and physics of certain female anatomy, laid the foundation for the fighting genre we know today. Dreamcast was the golden child of the video game world, and Soulcalibur was one of

Games today are all about simulation (and who can blame game companies for making them, when The Sims alone has sold over 100 million various incarnations of its main title and expansions). With that in mind, it’s no surprise that City Life attempts to rise to the success of games like SimCity and The Sims. While City Life does have

When it comes to simulation games, no game is going to be perfect in everyone’s eyes. Some people just want casual gaming, and others are more into hardcore, so deeply involved games you need to mainline Brawndo in order to survive. This game is not for the former gamer. Supreme Ruler 2020 developed by Battlegoat Studios is incredibly detailed and

When I got my Wii home after spending 18 hours in line on the day it came out, I was enthralled by the freebie game that came packaged with it, as everyone else who bought it was. Wii Sports is a staple of the console, and is a perfect introduction to the revolutionary system even for those with no video

First Person Shooters are my favorite type of game. So many amazing titles have been released, from the Doom and Wolfenstein franchises of 1990′s, to the Halo and Half-Life franchises still going strong today. FPS games offer the player the chance to immerse themselves in the lives of the characters they inhabit, while playing through some of the best story

Reality Pump’s Two Worlds is worlds away from what would be called a hit game on either the Xbox 360 or PC, there’s a lot going for the game, in addition to being endlessly compared to genre-defining Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, but in the end much of the promise boils down to a fairly generic, by-the-numbers RPG. That’s not to say

Death Jr. makes his Nintendo DS debut in the title Death Jr and the Science Fair of Doom. In this installment of the franchise, we join DJ and the gang at the school’s annual science fair. Each student has brought their own science fair project, and when one of them goes haywire, the school is transformed into a demonic twisted
