Wrecked Revenge Revisited Review (XBLA)

Review by: Tom Shirey

Wrecked Revenge Revisited is a battle racing game developed by Supersonic Software. The game was released March 28th , 2012 for XBLA and PSN. Supersonic Software did a pretty good job on this game. I noticed that there wasn’t much of a story to the game, but what they lacked in single player they added to multiplayer. The only thing single-player seems to offer is achievements but you can get most of them online or by playing local co-op. The game offers four player versus online and offline, so this could definitely be a great party game. Whether your playing with family or friends you will have fun. My brother and I probably racked at least twenty hours on this game and we still had fun. There is also a small ranking system to unlock new cars, decals, tires, and colors for your entertainment.

Dead Island Review (OnLive)

Dead Island!

Review by: Ady Carter

I’m not a big fan of Holidays, perhaps I’m just incapable of relaxing or perhaps it’s because I always worry that something terrible is likely to happen when I’m miles away from home in a strange location. As if to prove my fears Dead Island presents the scenario of a bunch of people enjoying a holiday on the fictional island of Banoi only to wake up after a “few” drinks and discover themselves in the middle of a Zombie filled nightmare. Perhaps best described as a melee-heavy first person survival horror game, Dead Island is a distant cousin of Resident Evil and really not as similar Read the rest of this page »

Bit Digger


I am not much of the typical voxel fan. Bit digger certainly gives the Voxel based games a different look. From an isometric view, you play as Dougal McTaggart, who can create tall buildings, mountains of ice and flatlands. The game is simple, no survival here. The concept is just to create, which is what I like. I also enjoy blowing stuff up, so the TNT played a big roll in my enjoyment. There is also a neat option to take pictures of your structures, which I found really great for sharing in case you just want to destroy your structures and build a bunch of new ones. Besides the Read the rest of this page »

Happy

So it has been a while since this game released.  Let me put to you this way.  The game gets quite aggravating after reaching a certain level.  You must be precise in hitting each edge correctly.  The soundtrack, was, just right for the visuals.  The melodic sounds versus me getting almost totally pissed off at how many times I was not able to make a loop, made up for the absolutely repulsive difficulty.  The game presents itself Read the rest of this page »
