Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Island Thunder
Thursday, November 1, 2018
Ghost Recon: Island Thunder is set in Cuba. Here’s the plot – Fidel is dead, and the US wants the country to become more democratic, which apparently goes against the wishes of major drug lords and militant fractions within Cuba. The Ghosts, an elite team of U.S. Army Green Berets, are sent to Cuba as […]

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Desert Siege
Wednesday, October 31, 2018
Ghost Recon: Desert Siege is an eight-mission expansion campaign for Ghost Recon. It’s set in the dusty, sun-bleached Horn of Africa, as the U.S. Special Forces leads the way for a Marine landing to liberate tiny Eritrea from the clutches of its belligerent neighbor Ethiopia, featuring the same squad-based action found in the original. Opening […]

Stolen
Saturday, October 20, 2018
Anya Romanov, the resident of noir-fictional and perpetually shadowy Forge City and the thieving star of developer Blue 52’s Stolen, was supposed to be a narrative breath of fresh air for the gaming world. She’s not a super-agent selflessly saving the world, or some magical-girl savior. Yeah, she’s the obligatory videogame stealth-hottie, but she starts […]

FEAR: Perseus Mandate
Monday, October 15, 2018
The original FEAR awed us into submission with its great action scenes, terrific squad AI and creepy scripted encounters that made you feel perpetually unsafe. The chill factor was so high that you were praying to encounter another squad of enemy soldiers to keep you company, and away from the isolation that usually signals another […]

The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki
Thursday, October 11, 2018
The Bland Corridor Shooter of Dr. Derivative Radiaki is like Doom, or many lowly clones of Doom. There’s a dumb plot, a funny villain and odd monsters (it’s not a game that takes itself very seriously). In Radiaki, you’re a super agent sent to penetrate the good doctor’s fortress and stop Radiaki before he can […]

Catechumen
Wednesday, October 10, 2018
May the Lord bless this holy mess. Catechumen is both bizarre and strangely fascinating. I can’t even say I hate it as a game, but I am dumbfounded by it all the same. It pursues the always difficult task of making action games fun without having any violence, gore or bad language in them. It’s […]

Alpha Storm
Thursday, October 4, 2018
Alpha Storm is not a very well-known game, and on the surface it may appear to be yet another of countless Doom clones that were all too common in the mid-1990s. With Quake II released in the same year as this game, Alpha Storm would appear to be a hopelessly outdated game by a backwater […]
