Sneak n’ Peek Meets Pray n’ Spray
Splinter Cell Conviction isn’t like any of the other titles in the series. This time around, Sam Fisher is out for himself, and can use stealth or run and gun madness to accomplish objectives.
Blurring The Lines
Blur is appropriately named, as it blurs the lines between combat, racing and realism. In a lot of ways, it’s like a cart racing title for grownups, but its true strength is multiplayer.
Split/Second Offers Insane Combat Racing
We kick off Racing Week here at GiN with Split/Second, a title that brings insane combat racing to the next level. See how it compares with Blur (reviewed Wednesday), and classic titles like Burnout 3.
3D Still Toying With Games
Attack of the Movies 3D adds a 3D element to a somewhat generic light gun type shooter. But can 3D take a rather mediocre game and elevate it to greatness?
A Graphical Success
Exile: Issue One is the first graphic novel that attempts to truly combine comic books and video games. And while it doesn’t get everything right, it’s a step in the right direction.
The Right Way To Come Back
Dead to Rights: Retribution totally reboots the series in a good way, adding a great mix of shooting and hand-to-hand combat, plus stealth missions and a whole lot of blood.
The Spy Who Loved Us
Although flawed in several areas, Alpha Protocol proves to be a capable espionage action RPG title, and we all know there aren’t very many of them to go around.
The Prince Game Beats The Movie
In many ways, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands video game is worlds better than the Prince’s current blockbuster movie, and that’s a good thing for gamers everywhere.
A Wonderful Western
If you thought Rockstar was all about street racing, drugs and thugs, you should see Red Dead Redemption’s Old West. A truly open world, it has more in common with Oblivion than GTA.
Get Bitten With Love And Death
In our quest to review more casual games, we stumble across Play First’s Love and Death: Bitten, and get quite smitten with this vampire puzzle and hidden object title.
