Everything old is new: Diablo 3 beta impressions
I have to admit, I expected something with more panache. With access to Diablo 3’s vaunted beta I expected something daring, something world-shaking. What I got was, well, Starcraft 2: a game of incremental improvements. This is not to say

"Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning": Demo Impressions
I’ve been looking forward to the release of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (KoA:R) since I first heard about it, not least of all because of the names associated with it’s production. There’s Ken Rolston, lead designer on two of the

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Demo Impressions
Although I ultimately could not finish Final Fantasy XIII, I saw a lot of potential in its world and characters who I was actually starting to like right when the game became too frustrating for me. That’s why I was actually excited to try out the sequel for myself to see if the improvements were enough for me to revisit Cocoon and its surrounding territories.

Demo Impressions: Fortune Summoners
Recettear, Carpe Fulgar’s first import project for English speaking audiences, succeeded in large part because of its demo. A massive slice of the game, the Recettear demo worked so well because it was immediately apparent why we’d want to play

Warning: This preview contains moderate mechanical spoilers but no narrative spoilers. Purge is Mirror’s Edge. No, it’s not like Mirror’s Edge, Purge IS Mirror’s Edge. A less polished version mixed with Borderlands-esque aesthetics and questionable stealth elements, but still Mirror’s

Preview: Defender's Quest
So hard to know what to do with these indie games. Defender’s Quest is a tower defense/RPG hybrid we covered a couple months back, and it’s set to be released soon in the traditional “Indie Beta”, which means it’ll be

Predicting the nature of the Syndicate remake
My prediction is that the upcoming FPS Syndicate will be a failure as a remake of the original game. The most succinct reason I can give for this is the remake doesn’t seem to include drivable cars. There is one

The Throat of Gaming: Skyrim
I’ll say this: Skyrim is a counterfeiter’s masterpiece. …Two minutes in I’m hunting a creature through the wintered foliage—an elk or something, I don’t know. Whatever it is it’s too stupid to know I’m out to kill it; that the

I ain't afraid of no Phantasmaburbia
It’s long been my opinion that indie developers should latch onto an obscure but happily received classic and run with its ideas. The indie platformer community has done this with Super Mario Brothers 2 (or Doki Doki Panic) and I’ve
