Shepard and the gang take the Normandy out for another romp around the galaxy in Mass Effect 2...but should you?

Uncertain of his sister’s fate, a boy enters Limbo. Will you?

Delayed Reactions – Cryostasis

Jonathan Barrickman — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 05:59:04 +0000

There's a growing legacy of atmospheric games coming out of Russia and the Ukraine; all uniquely Slavic and all taking gameplay chances that most Western studios wouldn't dare. Joining the ranks of Metro 2033, and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and Penumbra games is Action Form's Cryostasis, a psychological and survival horror game where cold is your greatest enemy.

Game Attic – Doom (PC)

Jonathan Barrickman — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 05:50:39 +0000

If you really want to blow a 90s gamer's mind, tell them you've never played Doom. I'm not that old, but I still have trouble comprehending that there's an entire generation of gamers that grew up well after Doom waved goodbye to the store shelves of Babbages and Software Etc. Not only that, there are gamers from that time that intentionally avoided Doom based on preconceived notions about the game that may or may not be true. So come take a first or second look at the game that defined a genre, and in many ways, gaming in the 90s.

Delayed Reactions – Dark Void: Meh, Close Enough

Dave "Boris" Orosz — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 05:49:35 +0000

I always feel sorry when a game gets an average review. An average review means a game was fun for some and crap for others. Now how do I know where I fall? How do I know which "average" titles will fit my personal interests well enough so that I can forgive some of the smaller flaws and still come away satisfied?

Delayed Reactions – Bayonetta: Not Your Average Sex Icon

Dave "Boris" Orosz — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 19:45:04 +0000

I remember my first introduction to Bayonetta was at E3 2009 and I was immediately turned off by the ridiculous sexual nature of the game, the over the top sassy strut of the main character and the shallow sexual references. It was hot, but too absurd, too hollow I thought.

Delayed Reactions – Dead Space: Extraction

Dave "Boris" Orosz — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:59:11 +0000

While trying to make sense of my true reactions to Dead Space Extraction, I find myself at a bit of a loss. Dead Space Extraction is a very immersive game. I really get the feeling that I'm witnessing moments of pure terror in the hostile and hopeless expanse of space. It's a hauntingly beautiful and well presented narrative. But that strength creates a larger conflict: I’d almost prefer to experience this story...minus the gameplay.

Delayed Reactions – Torchlight

Brian Hertler — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 05:56:17 +0000

So I’ve been playing this game, Torchlight. Have you heard of Torchlight? You probably have, by now. And the rumors are true: Torchlight is basically the first Diablo with prettier graphics. This is not a bad thing.

Tony Hawk Ride – This is just embarrassing!

Rob James — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:20:33 +0000

For a series that has seen its fair share of ups and downs, Tony Hawk Ride has done a wonderful job of stunning video game journalists in a way that no other entry in the series has ever been able to do. Sadly, its probably not the kind of reaction the team behind the most [...]

Delayed Reactions – Batman: Arkham Asylum

Dave "Boris" Orosz — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:58:10 +0000

It seems that every time a movie or comic based game gets released, it’s assumed to be crap. I say this because every recent movie or comic-based game has been crap (or at the very least, poorly received. Think Watchmen, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, etc.) I even enjoyed Spiderman: Web of Shadows, but certainly [...]

Delayed Reaction – Psychonauts

Dave "Boris" Orosz — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:17:05 +0000

Recently I discovered something about about myself: I hate reviewers. Somehow they think they can grant a score for a game that can accurately reflects its quality. I can’t really complain though because up until now I was the type of dolt who looked a reviewer’s score and thought that it would actually provide me [...]

Delayed Reaction: Battlefield 1943

Rob James — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 07:26:13 +0000

War…war is hell. I’m dropped onto the middle of an aircraft carrier just off of the shore. My objective is simple: capture a collection of enemy fortifications littered across a swath of land I’ve never seen before. My team scrambles across the deck of the carrier hoping to secure one a flight to the mainland. [...]
