Review – Shatter (PC)

Sidhe | March 15th, 2011 I seem to be picking up a lot on Breakout clones lately.  Or maybe it’s just games that at the core are remakes of older classics I’ve been hitting a lot lately.  I suppose it’s an easy gimmick, take something people like, flashy it up and add a new gimmick or two, then throw it out into the world.  I’m not really complaining or anything but Shatter, like BIT.TRIP BEAT and Meteor, has it’s core in the game Breakout.

Review – The SIMS (PC)

Both have similar gameplay mechanics really. Both are games I really enjoy when I first start playing them but hate absolutely after about a week. Finally both are games I keep coming back to. To keep in…

Review – Final Fantasy VII (PC)

Final Fantasy 7PC(1 Player)Squaresoft (Once again) You must control a group of rebels to save the planet from an evil Empire (orin this case an evil corperation) and the "true villain" that lies beyond. Quite a fewloss characters than the previous Final Fantasy (FF6 duh), and the first time a FinalFantasy game has had true FMV cutscenes. This game is quite a change for the series. Alsoit's the first time a Final Fantasy game has been made for a non Nintendo system (the PSX)and the first time there's been one playable on the PC (emulation excluded). Graphics (8/10)The series makes…
