F.E.A.R. 3 (Video Game Review)

When you change any given element in a process, there’s always going to be someone that thinks it’s a change for the worse. Case in point – when Retro Studios took over the Metroid franchise for Nintendo. Many folks thought that shifting the legendary series to a first-person perspective was a sign of the apocalypse. But surprise, Metroid Prime turned into one of the most memorable trilogies in gaming history, leaving its mark on a storied franchise and leaving fans begging for more. Now we have F.3.A.R. (or F.E.A.R. 3, whatever you want to call it), the latest in Monolith’s first-person shooting series. The problem is, the long-time developer, who worked on the first two games, has shifted gears towards a new project, the upcoming Gotham City Impostors for Xbox Live. In its place are Day 1 Studios, the same team behind the sci-fi shooter Fracture, among other games. This change in developer may have long-time fans crying foul, but despite a genuine lack of scares and some dingy visu...

Spider-Man: Edge of Time (Video Game Preview)

When Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions came out last year, it introduced a powerful new developer in Beenox, and a great new direction for the wall-crawler, after he had gone a bit dry in Web of Shadows. Now that team is back for more in the upcoming Spider-Man: Edge of Time, which is due for release this fall on Xbox 360. It has the same kind of premise – control different types of Spider-Men across unique eras – but there’s s story twist this time around that keeps things interesting. In the game, you’ll switch between the Amazing Spider-Man in the present day and Spider-Man 2099 from the future, two of the primary characters from Shattered Dimensions. Noir Spider-Man and Ultimate Spider-Man are taking a break this time around, but in this case, less is more, and you’ll be doing a lot with the two central characters. They’re bonded to each other across their strands of time, so something that affects in the past will leave an impact on Spider-Man 2099, wherein the hero from the futu...
