Killing Floor is a low-budget B-video game production that’s less entertaining and satisfying than Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead. Killing Floor has a frustrating interface, uninspired level design, and only five available maps, but it is cheap enough that it might make up for that.
THQ and Volition deliver on their promise of a new type of destruction as Red Faction: Guerrilla takes the destruction of Mars to a new level. Guerrilla marks a historic moment in video game history, from this moment on the standards for virtual destruction will never be the same.
Delta Force Xtreme 2 is another feather on Novalogic’s cap in terms of poor gameplay and bad graphics. If compared with its predecessors, DFX 2 is a disappointment. The first Delta Force PC game is much better than this latest Novalogic release.
While the movie itself is decent enough, the game by the same name is unfortunately what gamers have come to expect - an abysmal failure. Movie tie-in games have historically been bad with very few exceptions, and Terminator: Salvation is no exception.
Shellshock 2: Blood Trails definitely shows signs of being developed by someone without any knowledge of the FPS genre. All the best elements of FPS games are missing, the controls don’t work, the level designs are lame, the story should be thrown in the garbage and the writer fired.
The PS2 adaptation of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six 3 uses a different command system which is much simpler than its PC and Xbox 360 counterparts. With the exception of minor graphical flaws, Rainbow Six 3 has the same intense missions and excellent sound effects.
Pariah for PC by Digital Extremes is a sci-fi based first person shooter with an interesting premise, but all to quickly becomes just another run-of-the-mill shooter. While it has some interesting ideas, the game has numerous flaws which impact its appeal.
Take WW1 - a quite original setting for a game - and, fearing that is not enough, fill it with zombies, demons, vampires and spellcasting… What you get is Necrovision, a game that seems confused as to what exactly it represents - a horror shooter or a zombie comedy… and falls short in both.
One of my favorite studios is back on stages. And it’s not like their previous project was unsuccessful, just the opposite – it sells good. Lets not forget that Volition are authors of classics like Freespace. And when you’ve done such a game – the expectations for a new game are very high.
Crypto, the lovable Furon, has been quietly destroying humans for 20 years. Pox, his mentor, has been using human bodies as fillers for hot dogs in his restaurant. All goes well until the millionaire heiress Patty Wurst tries to reveal the secret of what makes these hot dogs so delicious.
