The Tribez & Castlez (Video Game Review)

The Tribez & Castlez is the newest release from mobile developer Game Insight. The game is the successor to the hit game The Tribez that originally released for iOS and Android devices back in 2009. The new release adds new content and some improvements over the first release in the series while reintroducing some key characters and locations from the first game for fans of the series to enjoy as well. Where the original game had players building up some of the first kingdoms of civilization for mankind, the world is already somewhat established in The Tribez & Castlez , and players must build kingdoms that are comparable to those seen in the Middle Ages and that are capable of fighting back invaders that threaten the realm. There are a variety of different missions to complete in the game that range from building up resources and businesses to give the kingdom a thriving economy to fighting off monsters on the outskirts of town. The Tribez & Castlez is just as addicti...

Rambo: The Video Game (Video Game Review)

Rambo: The Video Game never really had much of a chance to be a successful game. Whether you look to the game's developer whose biggest video game releases so far include gems such as the Crazy Chicken series and Robot Rescue 3D , the game's terrible publicity during the development period of the game or just the fact that any title that feels the need to tell you the item you've just purchased is in fact a video game, it's clear Rambo: The Video Game was doomed from the beginning. The new release is an on rails shooter like players would find the the arcades of the late 80s and early 90s, and the game's graphics look like a game that is nearly as old. The only saving grace of the game is the base material the game is based on that allows players to relive the best moments from one of the best action movie series ever, but it's not enough to keep this title from being completely expendable. The storyline featured in Rambo: The Video Game is easily the be...

Strider (Video Game Review)

Strider is a Capcom series that dates all the way back to the late 80s arcade scene. Older gamers will have undoubtedly heard of the long running series before and maybe even played a few titles from the franchise along the way including releases for the SEGA Megadrive, PlayStation and PC releases. The new downloadable game recaptures classic elements of gameplay from the series with an HD graphical display that is top notch. The game is a good one, though it was over far sooner than we would've hoped when first booting up the game. Still, it's clear that developer Double Helix knows a thing or two about rebooting old franchises with the success of Killer Instinct as an Xbox One exclusive launch title, and now, the addictive Strider across most platforms. Gamers looking for a fast-paced, side-scrolling action title can't do much better than Strider , and it's available now. The new plot in Strider follows closely to that of the original arcade release. In the fu...

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 (Video Game Review)

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is the final release in the heralded action series from developer MercurySteam. The release takes players to a new setting for the franchise and allows players to see the world from a different view, as Dracula is the game's main protagonist for the first time ever. The change allows for players to experience the world with a variety of powerful new moves and weapons, though the game isn't always exciting as it could have been. Stealth sections included in the new release feel dramatically out of place, and the sections simply aren't fun to play either. The game also manages to introduce only a few interesting characters for the series that don't do a good job of carrying the storyline through the 10-20 hour length campaign. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 isn't a bad game by any stretch, but a few questionable design choices hold the game from ever being a truly worthy successor for the original Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Cas...
