For us, it all started with The 7th Guest for the PC. We were indescribably intrigued by this game at the time. The ability to journey through a beautifully rendered haunted mansion (as good as you could pre-render n 1993) via a first person perspective was something that, [...]

The Need for Speed series has gone through many changes, most of which alienate one portion of the fan base or another. What did EA’s Blackbox give fans this time around?

There are a lot of bad kid’s games on the Wii, with even more to come during this holiday season, so we here at Blast are going to tell you about one of the better, younger skewing titles to invest your money into this winter. Backbone Entertainment’s “Monster Lab” is a game that will surely fly under the radar, but it’s worthy of more than that sad fate.

December 2008. Sony PlayStation 2 has been a viable product for eight years, selling about 140 million units wordwide, more than any other video game console in history.
The fact that we’re still talking about PlayStation 2 and still talking about new games being made only for the PlayStation 2 in the 2008 holiday season speaks [...]

Not much to say. You have Rock Band. You need this.

It’s no real secret as to why the Lego games appeal to a wide generation of gamers. While the younger set enjoys the run and jump style platforming and easy accessible gameplay, the shall we say, more seasoned of us will appreciate the nostalgic heart, and subtle nods to some of the most famous movies [...]

You would think with all the hundreds of examples out there on virtually every platform that it would be impossible to screw up something like video game CARDS … right?

The game could use more drama and story injected into its core, but if you’re looking for simple, pick-up-and-go action, TNA Impact! is a good way to go.

Sony put out a pretty good product in MLB 08 The Show, but that’s the problem. [...]

EA retools their college backetball line, but did they finish the job?

This largely linear fantasy adventure, based on the book series of the same name, follows the adventures of the Grace family as they stumble into a unique situation when they move into a new house. Freddie Highmore does great double duty as twin brothers Jared and Simon while sister Mallory is voiced by Sarah Bolger. [...]

Let us never speak of it again.

SNK Playmore’s King of Fighters XI is very similar in all respects to their recent NeoGeo Battle Coliseum in that it is a purely two dimensional fighting game that appeals almost exclusively to hardcore two dimensional fighting game fans.
It’s a one trick pony.
King of Fighters XI revolves around a new tournament that has been announced. [...]

Proving Ground is the deepest “X-sport” video game ever developed, and that means something considering the Tony Hawk franchise singularly created the alternative sport video game genre.
That said, Neversoft should have done a hell of a lot more testing.
Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground brings new features like “nail the grab” and the speedy aggro kick to [...]

The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, starts the game off with a recap from the last game, where Spyro defeated the evil dragon Cynder. After Spyro defeated Cynder, she turned into a little dragon, just like Spyro. When Spyro saw that she was like him, he had to save her from the dark power. [...]

An evil force by the name of “Spooky” has been unleashed by those dastardly ghosts and it’s up to everyone’s favorite pepperoni-slice shaped yellow hero to make sure Pac-World is rid of this ancient evil.
The objective of the game is to collect various “Gold Fruits” Once you collect [...]

Though you may never hear it in the game, NeGeo Battle Coliseum is set in February 2017 by new Japanese calendar. A man is trying to take over the NeoGeo world by defeating the strongest warriors and claiming the title. If that power were to fall into his hands, contol of the enter world would [...]

In a way, Crash of the Titans represents everything about Playstation 2 in 2008 — still bloody good, but there’s not a whole lot more to expect out of it.
Even without its original creator, Crash Bandicoot is still a strong video game franchise, and it’s the best thing Sierra has going for it right now.
“The [...]

From 2002: This game will be worth every cent you pay for it, for an overnight rental.

By Mel Odom
Electronic Arts is the powerhouse of sports video games, and they continue that trend with their release of Rugby 08. Even though rugby may never be as popular here in the US as it is in other countries of the world, EA has definitely built a game that captures the excitement of the [...]
