We're of the firm opinion that your time is too precious, too valuable to be spent reading a full review for a game that was already reviewed many, many years ago. What's the point of applying a score to a game that's old enough to be enrolled in the sixth grade? That's why we invented Deja Review: A quick look at the new features and relative agelessness of remade, revived and re-rele... more.

The Simpsons Arcade Game is a barebones port of the similarly named game popular in arcades back in the 90’s. Strangely enough, although there aren’t any real extras to the game, it represents something of a rarity in gaming these days: it’s actually a lot of fun.   Even more surprising, I found it to be more entertaining than the likeminded 90’s Konami arcade port X-Men: The Arcade Gam... more.

Packing a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and what was (at the time) the most recent version of Android, the original Motorola Droid stood for everything the iPhone wasn't. But Motorola’s interest in QWERTY Android phones has slackened with each new model. The Motorola Droid 4 ($200 with a two-year contract on Verizon; price as of February 13, 2012) is the latest keyboard-toting phone in the Droid se... more.

Theoretically, this review of Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning (KoA:R) should have been published last Friday. Unfortunately, because we haven't stopped playing it since it arrived in the office, we've been far too busy to do anything as demeaning as write about it. If you'd come into the office we could have shown you, but you didn't, so you've had to wait. Sorry.On first glance KoA:R seems like a ... more.

Early video games were often identified with their designers, who were treated as celebrities, as important to the industry as directors such as Steven Spielberg and James Cameron are to Hollywood. Over time, though, games have become associated with the studios, and not the individuals behind them. Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning, by 38 Studios, LLC, is a bit of a throwback, as all the early hype ce... more.

Playing a role playing game is often times an exercise in time dumping. We go in expecting to spend countless hours experiencing what is typically a vast world crammed with a large variety of things to do and experience. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning , released last week, brings an emphasis on classic RPG and introduces gamers to a new RPG franchise. The game released for the PlayStation 3, the ... more.

Not in their actual mechanics, which are the logical combination of single player RPGs and multiplayer aspects, but in their Siren-like appeal to publishers. Many big franchises have gotten into the business, and all have been dashed upon the rocks of Blizzard’s titanic World of WarCraft – Lord of the Rings Online, Final Fantasy XI and W... more.
