Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is remarkable. Remarkably unentertaining and hideous, that is. It manages to shatter that border that distinguishes a bad game from a good one, and puts itself into its own dreary category of the Worst “Game” of 2009 by far and for a long while. The story is incoherent, the dialogue is as dull as the previous title, and the gameplay makes Atari Console games seem next-generation.

Overlord II places players into the skull encrusted, blood stained boots of a ‘Lord’ with glowing eyes and a huge axe and allows you to command minions to do your deeds. Be evil, or be dark (the light form of good) – it is up to you. The interesting thing about the Overlord series is undeniably the diminutive minions that take the primary picture. They are ultimately the ones that run the course of the gameplay, with humor and intrigue that is simply incredible. With the similar and perfect formula from the old game and amazing visuals and upgraded features, Overlord II is one game that anyone needs to take a commanding destruction towards.

Fight Night Round 4 has the challenge of improving on the title that helped shaped the generation of gaming ever since the debut of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. EA Canada had to essentially improve on the game that delivered the first HD gaming experience and is taking the responsibility from the dead EA Chicago studio with plenty of chances to make mistakes, or make another hit title. Does Fight Night Round 4 live up to expectations or does it get knocked out?

Any game that allows the player to rip humans in half and cut them limb from limb is instantly deemed fun and Prototype is no different. The comparisons to other games of a similar nature are hard to ignore but Prototype does enough to separate it from the pack to avoid the tag of copycat.

When there is something strange in your neighborhood, who are you going to call..? A copy of Atari’s incredible Ghostbusters title. After literally dozens of cancellation threats on the project, the long-awaited Ghostbusters game is back – and one that I have personally hoped would come out ever since I watched the original back in the day. The iconic quartet return an excruciating 20 years after their last ghost-busting outing, bringing with them the original humour and feel of the Ghostbusters which is perfectly realized perfectly in game form. The original cast (Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson and of course the always witty Bill Murray) return to give the game the authentic feel to make it feel like a sequel to the films and it does nothing short of a simply fantastic job at making players literally feel as if they are a part of it.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power. This is exactly what Sucker Punch does in their new title: ‘inFAMOUS’, the latest hero platform action adventure to hit the Sony PlayStation 3 console. InFAMOUS is the auspicious creation of the inclination towards superhero-dominated choice universe by Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) that sets their prolegomenon to the good versus evil plot. Having played inFamous for over a week now,  we gained a lot of insight into Cole MacGrath more extensively for the relative play time. inFAMOUS sets a clever tone in terms of environment design and approaches a platform-blend theme in combat within a first party game. Unfortunately, repetitive missions followed by annoyingly disconcerted side-missions and a cliché superhero narrative lend itself to an eerie aftertaste that leaves Cole MacGrath and his journey from delivery boy to superhero inFAMOUSly blasé.

Extorting, racketeering, and blackmail have never tasted so bad. Literally. To make a game based on, arguably, one of the greatest series of films in history is always going to be a hard task right from the off. The game will always be compared to the film in every aspect and although there is a small layer of storyline and ideas, it is the foundation of underlying problems that set it back from being a game even worth a rental.

You keep what you kill. In The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, players find themselves hurled into an incredible Riddick action adventure game that sets moods on fire and gives meaning to a new messenger with acerbic blue eyes and polemic personality. In the latest chapter to the chronicles, players engage various new enemies in environments that are just made with gorgeous visuals, and while some gameplay elements have issues, the journey of Riddick is a largely satisfying and exhilarating one to anyone too eager to wait for the third film.
