Most scientists spend their time trying to stop viruses from spreading. But you? You’re trying to make the most powerful virus of all. Survivium is all about creating and battling viruses. Think of it as Pokemon, but if you were Dr Frankenstein and Pikachu was a cold germ...
The biggest crime of this generation of gaming is that there hasn’t been a new Wave Race. Seriously Nintendo, where is it? Thankfully you can still get a does of jet skiing action in mobile form thanks to Aqua Moto Racing 2...
As the trickle of medium-profile games held over from last year continues, some of the biggest releases of 2011 are gearing up for launch this month – among them heavyweights Bulletstorm and Killzone 3. Those aside, February is looking relatively light on big releases, although we can still expect plenty of notable ones, many of which exist online or as DLC for last year’s big titles. Here’s what we can look forward to in the next 28 days…
Most platform games looks like an explosion at a crayon factory. Most platform games require precision jumping and hair-trigger reflexes. Shift 2 is different. This stylish, black & white game is about jumping around on platforms, yes, but in order to get anywhere, you’re going to have to use your gray matter to think like a puzzle master. And it works wonderfully...
Listening to pundits, parents, and politicians, you'd think that videogames were the worst plague ever visited upon humankind. They make us dumb. They make us violent. They make us perverted. They make us twitchy and impatient. They make us disconnected loners and social misfits.

Dungeon Hunter 2 HD wants to be Diablo 2 so bad it hurts. It copies everything it can—the looting, the leveling, the skill points, and classes, even the enemies reek of JV D2. But the thing is because of its touch screen controls, wildly different graphics, and altered combat system, at the end of the day DH2 (and its HD counterpart on iPad) feels nothing like Diablo 2. This is a good thing...
Infinity Blade is great and all, but the real showcase for awesome iDevice graphics actually be racing games. Because not only can they look incredible, they do so while moving at breakneck speeds. This is what makes Asphalt 6: Adrenaline so impressive...
By now you’ve probably played enough twin stick shooters to last a lifetime or longer. They’re everywhere. On Xbox Live Arcade, the PlayStation Network, and especially the App Store. So why should you play Solomon’s Keep? Because it’s not so much a twin stick shooter as a twin stick dungeon crawler. And that’s something new. And awesome...
You know that feeling in a shooter when you manage to get a hold of one of the much sought after turrets and start laying waste to whole squads of dudes? It’s pretty awesome. Artillery Brigade takes that one awesome moment and makes a whole game out of it. And it works pretty well...
Knight Defense is what happens when chess gets the Pac-Man Championship Edition treatment. Sure, it looks like chess, but with an almost completely changed rule set (how completely? It's real-time, for one. Keep reading...) and a hyper modern presentation, it feels new. And it also feels great.
