Captain America: Super Soldier Review (XBOX 360 and PS3)


The All-American superhero known as Captain America is currently gracing the big screen, taking out any Hydra forces in his path. To complement the film, SEGA and Next Level Games have teamed up to release a video game companion entitled Captain America: Super Soldier.

It's a cool game that does the hero justice. The story doesn't follow the film's plot, instead choosing to go in its own related direction.

Don your red, white and blue tights with the vibrantium shield accessory, as we plow through my full review of this action-packed beat 'em up:

Call of Juarez: The Cartel Review (XBOX 360 and PS3)


In the third entry of their wild west shooter series, Techland has decided to change things up. Now taking place between Los Angeles, The Grand Canyon and border towns in Mexico, Call of Juarez: The Cartel is quite a diversion from what we're used to.

Check out my full review of this shooter, before you decide to spend your hard earned dollars:

Boulder Dash XL Review (XBOX Live Arcade and PC)


Retro gaming is back in spades, with the release of Boulder Dash XL. It's a game that takes the series iconic and popular gameplay elements, and updates them a bit. There are lots of modes and tons of game time, with over 200 different puzzles.

Fans of the original game will be happy to know that there's a retro mode, although it doesn't have the same maps as its predecessor.

Warhammer 40K: Kill Team Review (XBOX Live Arcade and PlayStation Nework)


Take control of a space marine in Warhammer 40K: Kill Team. A twin-stick shooter set in the popular universe, it provides a ton of action for one or two players.

Check out my review of one of the better XBOX Live Arcade and PlayStation Network titles to be released in a while:

Deadliest Warrior: Legends Review (XBOX Live Arcade and PlayStation Network)


Based on the popular television show, Deadliest Warrior: Legends is a fighting game that allows gamers to battle it out as some of history's most seasoned warriors. Take control of historical badasses such as Genghis Khan, Hannibal and William Wallace, as you fight your opponent to the death in this three-dimensional fighter.

Rounding out the package is a new Generals mode, which is a lot like Risk. It's new to this entry in the series, which is a sequel to The Deadliest Warrior, which was released last year as a downloadable title.

Dead Block Review (XBOX Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC)


The evil tones of rock and roll music have caused a zombie outbreak in a small All-American town. Using a mixture of mechanics from both action and tower defense titles, you must put an end to the brain eaters' carnage. This is done by searching through items, looking for a guitar, amplifier and speaker.

MLB Bobblehead Pros Review (XBOX Live Arcade)


Baseball season is in full swing and, what better way to try your hand at the virtual Major Leagues than in bobblehead form? Employing athletes who look like the caricature collectibles their sport is know for, MLB Bobblehead Pros is a mixture of both simulation and arcade.

Knock one out of your favourite ballpark by checking out my review:

Akimi Village Review (PlayStation Network)


Build, manage and save the floating village of the Akimi people. A world that you've never been to before, but have strangely awoken on after falling asleep in the comfortable confines of your own bed.

The game is like a mixture of Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing, allowing for creation and management through gameplay actions.

Trenched Review (XBOX Live Arcade)
