Injustice: Gods Among Us Review

What do you get when you mix the gameplay and brutality of Mortal Kombat with the characters and universe of DC comics? Good god no, I am not talking about that ill-fated crossover back in 2008. I speak of course about the much more anticipated and infinitely more satisfying Injustice: Gods Among Us. As a fighting game enthusiast and comic book nerd the idea of playing a proper version of what Midway’s past venture into the DC license should have been was an opportunity to not pass on....

Bioshock Infinite Review

In the months, weeks, days and minutes prior to Bioshock Infinite’s release, the only thing loftier than the floating city of Columbus depicted therein was the state of fan expectations for the long awaited follow up to the 2007 classic.  The original Bioshock drowned our collectively lazy expectations of what a FPS could be beneath a placid ocean surface that belied a terrifying world beneath.

Set in the present day, you...

When dealing with 10-20 other racers that are causing all types of nasty explosions...

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Review

In 2003's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the Prince declared that time didn't move swift and sure in one direction like a river, but rather like an ocean in a storm. It's an appealing thought, but erroneous all the same. Time has marched on in the past seven years and the series has undergone two sequels and one complete reboot in that time. The Prince's latest adventure, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, is a throwback to The Sands of Time era, and while times...
