Review – Plants vs Zombies (PC, Mobile)

PopCap Games, Inc | Released: May 5th 2009 Occasionally Valve likes to promote other games by having tie ins with Team Fortress 2.  Generally these will be special limited edition Hats or Weapons.  I generally steer clear of the idea of buying a game “just for the hats”.  Especially considering how these are often somewhat expensive games.  Plants vs zombies went on sale for something like $4 plus you got TWO TF2 hats for free.  For the first time I admittedly bought a game just for the special Hats for TF2.  I’ve bought other games that had hat based promos…

Review – Frequency (PS2)

FrequencyPS2 - 1-2 PlayersGameplay – 7/10 Graphics – 7/10 Sound – 9/10 Replay – 6/10 Overall – 7.3/10 Frequency is generally a hard game to describe. There isn't really anything that is much like it. The closest thing I can think of is "DDR without the down arrow", but, there is so much more on inaddition to that so the description doesn't really fit very well. For one, the tracks are a lot longer. Then there's a little ship thing that you'll actually have to control your on top of following thepattern...Well, maybe I should start out simple and then…

Review – Star Sky (PC)

Review – PC – Star Sky Mårten Jonsson | Released 05.09.2011 There was a recent news article floating around about “Video Games now Considered Art”.  Now, personally, there are some questionable artistic content in say, Call of Duty, but even Movies can be considered Art and still have their craptastic turns like Revenge of the Fallen. Then there are games that really feel like they have some level of artistic quality to them.  They are interesting and original and evoke a bit of emotional reaction that isn’t just straight adrenaline.  Star Sky, a recent indie title out of Sweeden is…

Review – BIT.TRIP BEAT (PC)

Gaijin Games |  Nov 2nd, 2010 What do you get when you take the simplicity of Pong, a game that involves hitting small square “balls” with a rectangular paddle, and add in some musical aspects, a bit of plot, and ramp up the play mechanics beyond a 2 player game of tennis?  Whatever it would be, it’s probably pretty close to BIT.TRIP BEAT. Ok, really the only thing they really share in common is hitting balls with paddles and retro styling. The general premise here is that you must deflect a series of rhythmic balls back with your paddle.  They…

Review – Rush (PC)

Dec 3, 2010 | Two Tribes Rush is a Puzzle game of directional control.  I’ve been racking my brain trying to remember the game it reminds me of but the best I could come up with is Chu Chu Rocket.  It’s not really a clone of Chu Chu Rocket though it does sort of share the same basic premise of gameplay.  Basically, there are cube spawners laid out on a 3D board, the object is to lead the cubes to a collector of the same color.  You have a limited number of tiles to use to accomplish this task and…
