‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ Review

With summer comes the hot weather; a time for holidays with family and friends, playing sports down at the local park and relaxing with an ice cold drink by your side.

‘Golden Axe: Beast Rider’ Review

Golden Axe is one of the most beloved video game franchises in history. Its simple hack and slash gameplay has inspired countless other titles, and it’s regarded as an all-time classic.

Video game movies are not good. However, from its initial announcement, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, seemed to have a great chance of reversing this trend. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of the Pirates of Caribbean trilogy, and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Ackerton, and Ben...

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Review

The Star Wars universe is one of the most expansive in modern fiction and allows for the creation of games that explore the initial success of the films. The lucrative franchise has given birth to some of the most impressive games but also shows how such a popular entity can be misrepresented and misconstrued. From...

Some people cried foul after the Wii launched without a Mario game. However, after the mediocre reception Super Mario Sunshine received, Shigeru Miyamoto and the team at Nintendo promised to reinvigorate the franchise.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence Review

Despite the title of Metal Gear Solid, Snake Eater is a very different game than previous installments in the series. After Metal Gear Solid 2 received criticism for its complex story, Kojima Productions created a narrative that was more fluid, yet includes the great plot twists that we have come to...
