Socom 4 Review


If the terms flank, covert and assault pique your interest, then you're in the right place. Socom 4 has been released for the PlayStation 3 and brings with it a strong campaign, great multiplayer and a plethora of options. Though it's not perfect, it's a very strong outing and a great reason to be a PlayStation 3 owner.

Sega Rally Online Arcade Review


One of the most popular racing series of all-time has made a return to the forefront with a new downloadable iteration. Sega Rally Online Arcade takes the series classic arcade formula and makes it available on XBLA and PSN as a ten dollar download.

The game's engine runs well, but there are a few small issues that need to be checked out before you run the track. Check out my full review:

Motorstorm: Apocalypse Review


Welcome to the third iteration of the dangerous and popular Motorstorm Festival. A spectacular racing event filled with chaos, destruction and explosions around every corner, which only the best of the best can survive. This time, all of the action takes place in a city that has been devastated by a large earthquake and other natural disasters, with tracks that change by the lap. Ever wanted to drive alongside a tornado? Well, you can do it in virtual form here.

If you think you have what it takes to take place in this harrowing event, read on for my full review:

Hands-on Preview: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D


The story that became a legend is now in 3D. The release of the much anticipated remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 3DS is approaching quickly.

I was given a great opportunity to attend a preview event for the game in Toronto, this past week, where I got to play it for about an hour. We were able to try each of the two campaign types, the new content, and fool around in different areas of the game world.

Arguably the greatest game of all-time (my favourite) on a handheld? How did it translate? I was blown away and would like to tell you why.

MX vs. ATV: Alive Review


It's getting to be that time of year again. Spring and summer weather means the beginning of engines revving and races taking place on dirt tracks. To complement this upcoming season, THQ has released MX vs. ATV: Alive - the third game in their MX vs. ATV series for current generation consoles.

A revamped title that is retailing for $39.99 with a new pricing structure allowing players to pay extra for content they desire, Alive is an interesting trial. Read on to see if it makes it to the finish line (or the podium,) or whether it ends up stalling at the starting gate.

Star Raiders Review (XBOX Live Arcade)


In 1979, one man developed a game that many enjoyed for hours on end. That game was Star Raiders (Atari) - a game that allowed virtual star fighters to head into space to annihilate an attacking force known as the Cylons, though a first-person view.

Fast-forward to 2011 and Atari and Incinerator Studios have remade the classic cockipit shooter into a three dimensional space combat game. A download title that retails for 800msp.

I reviewed it this past week. Read on to check out my full thoughts about this revamped star fighter:

Thor: God of Thunder Review


To complement the recent theatrical release of the blockbuster film of the same name, SEGA has released Thor: God of Thunder for almost all of the major video game platforms. I reviewed the XBOX 360 version, which is the same build of the game as the PS3 and PC versions.

Is Thor as godly as it could've been? Check out my review.
