Articles tagged "action" Multimedia ReviewInsecticideby L.B. Jeffries[18.Jun.08] :. The most interesting element of the plot is the fact that humans have become subservient to insects.  Multimedia ReviewCondemned 2: Bloodshotby Ryan Smith[18.Apr.08] :. Condemned 2: Bloodshot is entertaining enough, but it still feels like it's written by two socially awkward 15-year-old boys who dress in black and listen to a little too much Slipknot.  Multimedia ReviewNiGHTS: Journey of Dreamsby G. Christopher Williams[7.Apr.08] :. After several frustrating flights attempting to guide NiGHTS in the more innovative "Wii" style, I quickly defaulted to the easier approach. Featured Article Multimedia ReviewDevil May Cry 4by G. Christopher Williams[28.Mar.08] :. The Devil May Cry series takes neither violence nor sex seriously, intending to see both as merely the vehicle to a very basic form of visual stimulation.  Multimedia ReviewBomberman Landby Cole Stryker[10.Mar.08] :. It's the same old Bomberman, but now you can give him a poodle skirt. PopMatters Pick Multimedia ReviewNo More Heroesby L.B. Jeffries[22.Feb.08] :. Whether you'll enjoy No More Heroes really boils down to whether you're the kind of person who can make fun of yourself or you take yourself so seriously that you don't get the joke. Contra 4by Arun Subramanian[17.Jan.08] :. Games like Contra presented a sort of difficulty that, while extremely demanding, was what offered those games longevity to begin with. Trilby: The Art of Theftby L.B. Jeffries[21.Dec.07] :. Given that his game is free, Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw can actually toy with the idea of creating moments in the game that are expressly meant to piss you off. Heavenly Swordby Darwin Hang[2.Nov.07] :. In a genre so dominated by men, it is refreshing to see a game where the girls get to kick butt in a land where nearly everyone else is male. Featured Article Multimedia ReviewHalo 3by Jason Cook[29.Oct.07] :. Halo 3 may be the most important video game of all time. Strangleholdby G. Christopher Williams[12.Oct.07] :. Stranglehold resembles Hard Boiled in that it, like the film, seems largely a series of very pretty, very stylish action sequences unified by only the thinnest veneer of a plot and motivations for characters. Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds Endby L.B. Jeffries[4.Jun.07] :. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is actually awful enough to inspire appreciation for the games that get its flaws right. Wario: Master of Disguiseby Arun Subramanian[31.May.07] :. Wario: Master of Disguise might have been more successful had it evoked platformers of old, particularly the well-regarded portable Wario Land titles. |
