Dragon Age was a popular and critically acclaimed title followed in the footsteps of earlier Bioware games like Baldur’s Gate, a Dungeons and Dragons-based RPG that has since been considered one of the most classic games of its generation.

Blacklight: Tango Down Can Be Yours for A Buck

December 6, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC News

Not even a buck; ninety-nine cents, in fact. Sure, it was a fifteen-dollar downloadable budget title to begin with, and it isn’t that great, but it’s certainly going to bring you a few hours of entertainment, and the 99¢ chicken sandwich you’d get at a fast food restaurant will only give you about five minutes of snacking pleasure.

Nail’d Review

December 6, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC Reviews

In the industry today, there’s one genre that has been dominant for the past 5 years, and that is the First Person Shooter. This isn’t surprising, but due to this, many of the genres that populated the PS2 and Xbox era are now obsolete, and we rarely see a game in these genres. One of these genres is the ATV racer. During the days of the PS2, series such as ATV Offroad Fury were popular, and therefore, got support from publishers and developers. We’ve gotten attempts at replicating the successful ATV racer formula in games such as MX vs. ATV Reflex, but they’ve never captured what makes these games so much fun; the sense of barely controlling your vehicle at high speeds in fun tracks. Nail’d, a game by the creators of Call of Juarez, is another such attempt at recreating the ATV racer. While it succeeds in the gameplay of this genre, it lacks in content, making it a game for hardcore ATV racer enthusiasts only.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Preview

December 5, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC News

The Witcher was one of my favorite titles when it was released several years ago. By pairing an excellent, deep and multilayered plot on top of a vibrant and believable environment and solid RPG mechanics, The Witcher proved to be a sleeper hit and received critical success around the world. While some crashing issues and an unpopular fighting system (it gets better!) dampened the thrill, the overall quality of the game shone through. Coming off this pedigree is the sequel, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, developed by the creators of the original, CD Projekt RED, based on the Witcher novels by Andrzej Sapkowski.
