Review: Dead Island
Last Updated on Friday, 16 September 2011 01:33 Written by servbot_kill Friday, 16 September 2011 01:33
Title: Dead Island
Genre: Horror, Co-op FPS/RPG
Release Date: 9/6/2011
Systems: PC, Xbox 360, PS3
Format: DVD, Blu-ray, Digital Distro
Looking at Dead Island, it’s hard not to recall Valve’s own 4 player co-op zombie slaughter Left 4 Dead. Both feature hordes of zombies, special infected, and four immune survivors who also happen to be quite adept at combating the walking dead. At that though, the similarities end. Developer Techland manages a clean separation from L4D once players get into it, and the distinctions only become more clear as the game progresses.

Review: Hydrophobia: Prophecy
Last Updated on Tuesday, 21 June 2011 02:21 Written by servbot_kill Tuesday, 21 June 2011 05:33
Title: Hydrophobia: Prophecy
Genre: Third-Person Action Adventure
Release Date: Out Now! (PS Network release TBA)
System: PS3/Xbox 360/PC
Format: Digital Distro (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, Steam)
Hydrophobia: Prophecy is really an experimental title more than anything else. Buyer beware: the techniques used in the game aren’t nearly ready for primetime, but it’s an interesting look at what might be possible in the future with more thorough experimentation and some good ironing out the kinks.

Review: Magicka
Last Updated on Wednesday, 27 April 2011 11:25 Written by servbot_kill Wednesday, 27 April 2011 11:25
Title: Magicka
Genre: Action/Adventure, Fantasy, Parody
Release Date: January 25, 2011 (Worldwide)
System: PC
Format: DVD, Steam Digital Distro.
Magicka is one of those games that just comes out of nowhere and swiftly kicks you in the balls for being a tool in believing the standards of AAA games. It is a fantasy game, but a fantasy game in as much as Monty Python and the Holy Grail was a period piece about religion and chivalry. It is equal parts nostalgia and irreverence with a surprising amount of innovation thrown in for such a simplistic-seeming game. The guys over at indie group Arrowhead Studios hit an itch, an itch that has not been scratched for gamers for some time, and though it admittedly took three months of patches to get the damn thing playing decently, people who are blessed enough to be discovering it just now will be experiencing the game as it was always meant to be.
And they will love it.

Although both of these products have been out for a while, I felt obliged to release a review to help those debating between both items. You can read my review of the differences between the Sony PSP-3000 and PSP Go here.
