"Sonic is about the primal joy of speed. Scenery collapses into a blur as the blue hedgehog reaches maximum velocity, pinging across a network of springs and ramps. It’s an endearing experience. Going this fast is fun. Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II invites players to surrender to the game’s frenetic level design, to let it wade in the spectacle of going really fast."

"Relating to a videogame protagonist can be tough. Most times our fearless leads, with their admirable actions and handsome faces, are nothing more than vessels. They’re personae to which we attach our ideals. If a game’s presentation and influences are smart, this is easy to do. In Prototype 2, it is not."
"Time slows, and the precision of bullet-time gunplay reflects alcoholic, pill-addicted Max Payne’s focused determination in a narrative of personal redemption, and an existence he perceives as out of control – thrown to the wind, yet gripped like a vise."
Daav from Gamesta.com takes an extensive look at the latest 4X Pc strategy game, Warlock: Master of the Arcane. Find out just what makes the game tick and what qualities can redeem this otherwise unpolished gem in this detailed elaboration.
"DiRT 3 ushered in a new discipline to the DiRT franchise which, while remaining as high quality as the racing and trial events, was considered a weak link by many. The ‘hoonigan’ antics of Ken Block appeared more fun in videos than to actual play them a lot of the time, with the difficulty ramping Electronic Theatre Imageup so quick that only the truly skilled, or dedicated, could compete beyond the first few challenges. The announcement of DiRT Showdown was met with a lukewarm response as fo..."
The biggest question that needs to be asked is, do gamers need to be fans of the show to understand the game? Nope, although some might say knowing the show helps gamers understand the story better. The Game of Thrones game has some interesting concepts in combat and storytelling, but the graphical bugs and sluggish pace warrants the question; should gamers put down Max Payne 3, Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, and Diablo III and rush out and buy it?
"Desert Operations is a free to play MMORTS strategy game set during the modern era featuring present day technology and units.

Max Payne 3 tells a compelling, non-linear story about a broken man that's trying to forget his past and instead, has trouble find him all over again. While the gameplay may seem a bit narrow, its gritty narrative helps you care for Max as well as feeling his seclusion to a miserable world/life he ultimately despises.

Daav from NoobFeed.com continues his coverage of Warlock: Master of the Arcane after already spending an eternity in Ardania with the preview. Unfortunately, not much has changed to the poignant issues it should've addressed. But that also means it's still just as charming and refreshing as before.
Looking for a sea-themed in-browser game? You're in luck. Leviathyn.com's Paul Popiel, master of the obscure and undead, has found a worthwhile ship combat game that features many famous pirates to battle.
"Humanity has been pushed to the brink of extinction after the discovery of a strange rift that appeared one the once peaceful God’s Continent. The purpose of the rift was unclear at first, that was until hordes of the undead spilled into God’s Continent from another dimension. The endless armies of the undead spread across the land, destroying everything they touched and pushing humanity to the edge of existence. That was until the humans discovered the Gate of Ages. A legend that was once th..."

The humans are gone and Vampires rule the world. In this dark RTS you have to build up your own sect of vamps and control the world. Blood factories, nightclubs, and more are on the agenda not just barracks and command centers.
"Umbrella just won’t die, will it? Yes, Capcom’s zombie series epic Resident Evil is as perpetual as the zombie virus in those poor people of Raccoon City. Resident Evil 4 remains one of the most intense survival horror experiences ever designed, but Capcom has been tossing the license around quite a bit these days. Whether it’s movies or HD re-releases, the Resident Evil name is the mark of fame for zombie outbreaks. With Resident Evil 6 on the way, Capcom let another studio take the reins of..."
"At the beginning of time, the God of Creation looked down upon the chaotic beasts roaming the world he worked so hard to create and felt divine intervention was the only solution to a world that had not met the expectations of the great god. Using his divine abilities he created a continent filled with beautiful and exotic plants and animals, but something was missing. Feeling alone in the universe the God of Creation created humans, a unique race that had lived in harmony with the Mortal Rea..."

Jade Dynasty has a heavy focus on martial-arts, adding a variety of unique animations and combat abilities, combined with a unique geographical setting and architectural design, to provide players with an authentic oriental experience."
"Our protagonist is the kind of guy you want to like, but is just such a complete ass you eventually resign to the fact that he’s never going to get it right. He’s the downtrodden excuse for a hero that Ubisoft originally sought out to make Sam Fisher appear to be in Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction, were it not for a backlash from the audience at such a suggestion. With Max Payne however, Payne himself has always been a rather brash personality, and so that he’s now turned to the gritti..."
