Xenon Games | Watch & Learn

Take over the world with your words. “So… you want to review Quarrel? It’s a word game.” As if there could be any other answer than, “of course.” That’s how this grown in a lab, mutant masterpiece dropped into my lap. It’s as if the minds at Denki, the studio behind Quarre

ScaryGirl Review

A visually unique platformer that delivers more than style. I am not going to lie, before I got my copy of ScaryGirl I had never even heard of this IP. The unique art-style and premise of the game are what interested me. On the outside, it may look like your standard artsy platformer, but onc

Unstoppable Gorg Review

Stop the aliens from taking our brains! Aliens. I hate them. Most people do. They always want our brains for experimentation and our planet for the resources. Well, they’re here for that exact purpose in Unstoppable Gorg. Luckily for us, we have the technology to hold them off and ultimatel

Choplifter HD Review
Read more

Great in short bursts. Not many will argue that there are more games released each year than any one person can possibly play. What that means is that so many games go unrecognized by the majority of players. While you may remember the classic Apple II version of Choplifter, most people will

Saints Row: The Third – Genki Bowl VII Review
Read more

Professor Genki is back… this time with three crazy catgirls. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I have no problem reminding you that Saints Row: The Third was my Game of the Year for 2011. Even with the bugs and glitches (I still can’t access the Call in VTOL option), it was thrilli

Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts Review
Read more

Unfunny game is unfunny. There are some games out there that are funny. Then there are games that just try to be funny. Then, there’s Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons and Doughnuts, a game that tries to be funny and fails big time. Grotesque Tactics 2 is a tactical, grid-based, strategy RPG/d

AMY Review

Terrifying for all the wrong reasons. I remember the days following Resident Evil’s arrival on the scene, when developers were scrambling to get their own survival horror games on the shelves. There were some really bad games that came out of that era, and unfortunately, Amy reminds me of s

Xotic Review
Read more

Rack up some high scores in this unique twitch shooter. Twitch shooters used to be a big part of my gaming life. I love the fast game play, unique weapons and replayability. Most of those games pit you against human opponents or really difficult enemy AI. Enter Xotic. There’s not that many

NFL Blitz Review
Read more

The classic arcade action returns with a few new rules. Arcade sports games have always had a special place in my heart. Whether I was smashing the glass in with Clinton in NBA Jam, or hurdling over players in NFL Blitz, the memories are etched into my gaming consciousness. EA has

Gears of War 3: RAAM’s Shadow Review
Read more

The first single-player DLC doesn’t disappoint. When DLC was first introduced, I know that I wasn’t alone in being excited for the possibilities of extended single-player content. Most games take the easy route and add more online maps, skins and characters, but there are a few that d

Five new Prey 2 screens take science fiction to Vegas

We liked Prey — we don't remember it anymore, but we’re sure liked it. Prey 2 is starting to look like something we could love. We're not saying we're going to rush into anything, but as of seeing these sizzling new screens, maybe we'd ask for its number. If that works, we might take it
