Review: Gothic 3 with the Community Patch 1.74
Last Updated on Wednesday, 1 December 2010 11:16 Written by OmniRoguelike Wednesday, 1 December 2010 11:16
Gothic 3 is a game that sucks more than… I will not go there. I wrote a review of the game with the amazing Community Patch 1.74 and I am fairly happy with it.
Give it a read and tell me how much you hate me for thinking that. Or something like that.

Vornado VH103/AVH2/VH102 Heater Review
Last Updated on Tuesday, 16 November 2010 11:20 Written by Naota Tuesday, 16 November 2010 11:04
Just in time for the holidays. I have taken the time to write a review for the Vornado VH103/AVH2/VH102 Heater.
Although you may be interested in other Vornado heaters, this review should be comprehensive enough to cover them as well due to the sheer fact that they all share a lot of the same technology and mainly very on strength needed.
You can read my Vornado VH103/AVH2/VH102 Heater Review here. I hope that it helps you with your decisions in what type of heater to buy this year.
Review: Medal of Honor (2010)
Last Updated on Friday, 5 November 2010 08:27 Written by servbot_kill Friday, 5 November 2010 03:09
Title: Medal of Honor
EU Box Art
System: PC, Xbox 360, PS3
Release Date: 10/15/10 across all systems
Format: Digital Download, DVD, Blu-ray
Admittedly, I was always a fan of Medal of Honor not for the gameplay which it offered, but the stirring soundtrack to which I would be blowing digital Nazis away to. Arguably, this series is where Michael Giacchino built his career to the heights it is now, as the composer to movies like The Incredibles, Cloverfield, and the 2009 Star Trek reboot; at the same time, it could also be argued that it was a symbiotic relationship that benefited the MoH series as much as it did Giacchino. Moreso, perhaps, if you found the gameplay of the entries to the series pretty lackluster. Even then, there was still the prospect of revisiting the “good war,” a conflict that generations then and generations now view as a titanic struggle of good versus evil and that subsequent investigations into the European theater of operations would reveal such a notion to be not a long stretch from the truth.
Unfortunately, for the Medal of Honor of today’s generation, it lacks for a lot of these potential benefits, even foregoing some of the dynamic gameplay of MoH: Airborne which garnered the most positive reviews of the Medal of Honor games since 2003. This Medal of Honor game is short and doesn’t get up to speed until a lot later in the game. There are its bright spots– the game doesn’t lack for pretty light and sound and plays well– but that might just be all there is to offer from this title.

Belated Game Reviews: Mass Effect 2
Last Updated on Sunday, 17 October 2010 09:27 Written by servbot_kill Sunday, 17 October 2010 08:00
Review: Mass Effect 2
Platform: Xbox 360, PC, PS3 (to be released)
Release Date: January 2010 (360 and PC), TBD (PS3)
Format: DVD, Blu-Ray (soon)
So I’ve somehow gone for months not having added a review of Mass Effect 2 on here, and since the release date, added DLC packs have complicated any narrative I might want to spin by adding additional content onto the core game. So, attempting to take that all into account, where does the game stand on this very, very belated review? Well, let’s put it this way: you’d better be looking for a GOTY edition of Mass Effect 2 or something, because the amount that the DLC packs add on is quite significant. In fact, going back to a copy of the core unvarnished game feels pretty hollow in comparison because once you’d had a taste of the expanded universe and options that the DLC brings, well, it’s just really impossible to feel the same way.

Front Mission: Evolved
Last Updated on Monday, 4 October 2010 08:35 Written by servbot_kill Sunday, 3 October 2010 05:49
Review: Front Mission: Evolved
System: PC (also available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3)
Release Date: September 28th, 2010 on all systems
Format: DVD, Steam Digital Download, Blu-ray
If you are a fan of Square’s venerable Front Mission series and were holding out hope for what is the first PC Front Mission title ever, then you’ll not want to read this review. Or maybe you might, to spare yourself the purchase and disappointment of the actual game.
Front Mission: Evolved is an attempt to bring the Front Mission series into the real-time shooter plane of existence which seems to be all the rage currently in game development. What they’ve done with the game technology itself is nothing especially praiseworthy or especially damning– it’s about average shooter material, with some destructible objects, sparkly particle effects, neat gun noises, and well represented big robots. Good stuff for any other shooter, but disappointing here, for reasons I’ll cover in a bit.
