Bad Day LA
PC Review
Within the first few minutes of playing Bad Day L.A., an old southern coot greets you with the expression "hot Jesus on toast." But this action/adventure/satire/disaster game is not creamy, buttery Jesus on a crisp slice of fresh sourdough. It's not even "I Can't Believe It's Not Jesus." No, Bad Day L.A. is more like rancid snack cakes baked by Satan himself, and it will make you want to vomit. And what a sneaky Devil Dog it is. Bad Day L.A. came to us disguised as a satire of America's ...

Bang! Howdy
PC Review
Bang! Howdy is a free online game about turn-based, cartoon cowboys, the second game from the developers who jollied up the concept of waterlogged thieves in Puzzle Pirates. Each level of Bang! Howdy starts with your little posse of units jogging onto the map, and your control over them is limited to telling them to move, or shoot or move then shoot when they get there. The twist is that in addition to having different movement ranges, shooting ranges, health and so on, Bang! Howdy plays in ...

PC Review

Over 11 years, Baseball Mogul has evolved from daunting spreadsheet to a user-friendly General Manager sim. But in its effort to further improve, several important enhancements to the 2009 edition are tempered by obvious glitches under the hood. ...

Batman: Arkham Asylum
PC Review
PC - Batman: Arkham Asylum - Batman: Arkham Asylum

As a rule of thumb, superhero games are, almost without exception, complete rubbish. We’re talking the officially licensed ones here, not stuff like Freedom Force or City of Heroes. You know, ones that have often have “The Game” tacked on as a subtitle. Would Batman: Arkham Asylum have been as good if it was riding the back of a big movie license? ...

Battlefield 2
PC Review
Battlefield 2 is simple: a frantic race to capture check points without losing the ones you already have. You and your team have a full arsenal of military might to help you; tanks, fighter jets and helicopters (with really big guns). The rub? So will the other side. The teamwork that BF2 inspires is its own greatest reward and it achieves this with more than a virtual pat on the back. You'll get electronic carrots; points for doing what a good team should, like capturing flags and healing ...

Battlefield 2
PC Review
Beyond providing umpteen tools and arenas for audacious gambits and eclectic destruction, it maintains a steady, if not perfect, set of rules that faithfully reflects the real-life balance of combat. For every device or tactic that threatens to turn the tide, an opposite number exists to turn it back - that's the fundament of any competitive event, but in massively multiplayer videogaming its importance is paramount. With this fervently anticipated sequel, Digital Illusions has a precarious ...

Battlefield 2: Armored Fury
PC Review
Battlefield 2 has long delivered a little bit of everything to the shooter aficionado - infantry combat for the grunt-friendly, helicopters for the whirly-birds, and even jets for the mildly schitzophrenic. But, true warriors know that armor is the best way to take and hold new territory. The latest booster pack for Battlefield 2, Armored Fury, proves that old adage once again. The three new Armored Fury maps are set in the American heartland, a very welcome change after too much time spent ...

Battlefield 2: Special Forces
PC Review
The Battlefield 2: Special Forces expansion takes EAs online multiplayer combat series into a new dimension: the vertical one. Grappling hooks allow soldiers to take rooftops and assault from above, or merely scout from the high ground. When you need to get down, you'll fly into the action on your zip line. In addition to upgraded weapons for nearly every class, the new flashbang grenades and teargas canisters come in handy when assaulting enemy strongholds or flushing out pesky squads. ...

Battlefield 2142
PC Review
The fourth full chapter in the Battlefield online shooter franchise, Battlefield 2142 propels the multiplayer fight 200 years ahead from the first game in the series into a bleak, war-torn future. The Earth is ripped apart by a new ice age, forcing the entire population into a tiny crucible around the equator in a desperate fight over last inhabitable place on the planet. But honestly, we don't really care what the reasons are - we just want to get our war on. Battlefield is back. BF2142 ...

Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike
PC Review
Even though we all know this expansion pack was probably a point on a marketing manager's graph of "projections" and "profit yields" before Battlefield 2142 was even released, we have to admit that the quality of the content on hand is above cynical expectation - in fact, we'll come right out and say it: Northern Strike is a good expansion pack. It's not great (let's not get carried away), and we hate seeing an excellent online shooter receive only these meager content boosts (whatever ...
