Latest Windows PC Game Reviews...
Fallout 3
Windows PC
Fallout 3 follows in the auspicious footsteps of role-playing/shooter hybrids before it, Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion and BioShock, widely accepted as Game of the Year in 2006 and 2007 respectively. '08 just might be the year of the Fallout. But maybe not...

D.I.P.R.I.P. Warm Up
Windows PC
Though "die in pain, rest in peace" seems a weak slogan for a car-combat game, D.I.P.R.I.P. is nonetheless a solid smash-bang vehicular shooter, mainly because it's based on Valve Software's superlative Source code. Think Half-Life 2 goes destruction derby.

UberSoldier II
Windows PC
Apparently, what the world needs now is another World War II themed first-person-shooter (FPS) in which you kill many, many Nazis. Well, the world also needs cheaper games, and UberSoldier II certainly fits that bill.

Spore
Macintosh, Windows PC
Better and more sadly described as a "Life Simulator for Dummies," Spore is not quite the evolution of videogaming most hoped it to be, though it is all about evolution.

Peggle Nights
Windows PC
Phoop, thonk, ping, wap, boink, boink, tink, tink, tink, TINK, bonk, piddle, piddle, piddle, sploosh. Sure, it's no Call of Duty 4, Halo 3 or Rock Band 2, but Peggle Nights pretty much dares you to call it a "casual game" Go on, try. Thing is, there's no such thing as a "casual crack" either.

Lumosity
Windows PC
If you've any sort of penchant for "brain games," be they the Touch Generation titles found abundantly on Nintendo DS, or just the classics like the New York Times Crossword and 100,000 piece jigsaw puzzles, you'll likely take a shine to Lumosity.

Reset Generation
Mobile, Windows PC
Funny, but neither the mainstream- nor the enthusiast press have covered "mobile games" all that much -- probably because the quality of mobile gaming content thus far has been about as headline-worthy as "Innovations in Ketchup." Reset Generation is set to change all that.

Princess Bride Game
Windows PC
Water-fetching, cliffs that'll drive you insane, unusually large rodents, blathe, land wars in Asia, omitting a wheelbarrow from a list of assets... sound familiar? Princess Bride Game brings it all back.

Speed Racer DVD Sure, cars shouldn't be able to jump on demand much less pirouette like motorized shurikens. But girls don't give you kooties, either. Speed Racer is all about the life-is-racing fantasy. As in larger-than and fantastic.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street DVD The infamous story of Benjamin Barker, a.k.a Sweeney Todd, who sets up a barber shop down in London which is the basis for a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs. Lovett. Based on the hit Broadway musical, this film has all the hallmarks of a Burton/Depp labor of love.
Cloverfield DVD An innovative flick about a monster attack in New York as told from the point of view of a small group of people, even better if you consider it a horror movie rather than sci-fi.
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story Blu-ray, DVD Dewey Cox may have slept with 411 women, married three times, had 22 kids and 14 step-kids, starred in his own 70s TV show, been addicted to every drug known to man, but he also became a national icon and eventually earned the love of a good woman. Sound familiar?
There Will Be Blood DVD A story about family, greed, religion, and oil, centered around a turn-of-the-century prospector in the early days of the business, Daniel Day Lewis owns the lead role, as usual.
