The Dark Eye: Memoria is a point-and-click adventure game that’s coming to Windows PC and Mac OS X at the end of this month. Unlike other titles of the genre, this one is not first person and shows fully animated characters acting out the commands that you present to them. Clicking the middle mouse button (or pressing the space bar) will give also give you hints as to what you are meant to do next, something that is extremely useful for a game of this nature. The tools at your disposal, including items and magic, are a part of an auto-hiding menu.

ibb & obb PS3

ibb & obb is an incredible experience in two player, co-operative platforming / puzzle adventuring which will have you laughing at times, doesn’t require a mic to be enjoyed online, and has an equally fascinating (though slightly less playable) single player game mode. Controlling either ibb or obb, you’ll run into platforming puzzles that will at first have you stumped. Quickly through either trial and error or logical rationalizing, you and your partner will find your way through each level and grow to appreciate the simplicity of ibb & obb’s gameplay design. Figuring out how to use each element of gameplay, which is introduced one at a time, is definitely part of the fun. From jump-pads to character-specific portals you’ll have to master all of these in-game mechanics in order to advance.

RGN Saints Row IV Review RealGamerNewz

The Saints Row series started exclusively back in 2006 for the Xbox 360. Back then I was super hyped for another awesome looking sandbox / open-world game. Saints always had the ‘fun factor’ focus and an over-the-top theme that many have come to expect with each iteration. Now players take the role of the President of the United States of America and have to fight off aliens, robots, more aliens, and well, you get the picture. Dropping back into the interesting world of the Saints as they climb their way to the top, let’s see what Volition and Deep Silver have in store for us.

Turbo Super Stunt Squad Review RealGamerNewz

Turbo: Super Stunt Squad will surprise you if you think it’s just a silly game for kids. Each time you start up a round you are given a short amount of time to make your way through an obstacle course which mixes racing with free-roam, trick-based concepts reminiscent of the Tony Hawk skateboarding video games of ‘yesteryear’. This includes everything from grinding, half-pipes, ‘verts’, and a lot more.

Rise of the Triad 2013 Review RealGamerNewz

Rise of the Triad is more than just a remake of the classic PC game Rise of the Triad which originally came out in 1994. Now a lot of time has passed and we have Rise of the Triad in 2013 and it’s an amazing game. Rise of the Triad is an First Person twitch shooter and it stays true to its roots. You will find all kinds of crazy modes such as dog mode with a supersonic bark and GOD mode via pickups in multiplayer which will have you wanting to throw your keyboard.

The Pit: MindGames (Sword of the Stars: The Pit DLC) Review

Sword of the Stars MindGames DLC

If you haven’t heard of Sword of the Stars: The Pit then you need to. Roguelike is a sub-genre of Role Playing Games (RPGs) in which players can only die once, and instead of story the focus is on surviving, leveling up, and advancing your character through an unforgiving world. Sword of the Stars: The Pit (available on Steam today) is the equivalent of the ideal Roguelike. With flawless execution in satisfying the everyday gamer as well as the genre veteran simultaneously, try playing it on ‘Seriously!?’ difficulty mode right off the bat if you think you’re so tough that this game’s too new age. It isn’t. You’ll probably end up earning yourself the Ricky Fail Achievement for dying in the first round, which is just adding insult to injury at this point.

When 343 and Microsoft first announced a Halo game for your tablet/phone I was in between on my opinion. I really wanted to play Halo on my phone but was worried it might be a cash in at the same time. After playing some good hours in it I can finally have a true idea of what I like and dislike about this title.

Anno Online is based on the real-time-strategy franchise Anno (also known as Dawn of Discovery) including Anno 2070 which gave players the choice to run things with the mindset of a CEO, the mindset of a spiritual leader, or even better the mindset of an artificial intelligence.

Victoria II Heart of Darkness RGN Review

Victoria II is a grand strategy from the brilliant minds of Paradox Interactive. Similar to many of their other titles like Crusader Kings II or Europa Universalis III, Victoria II lets the player choose and guide any nation which exists in the given time frame. While each title has focused on different aspects, Victoria II is set throughout the 19th and early 20th century and thrusts the player into the center of international power struggles, an intricate economic system and the balance between revolutionaries and reactionaries in their own country. With the new expansion “A Heart of Darkness”, Victoria II has truly become a replica of the 19th century rush for colonies and international stand offs between great powers.

FUSE Xbox 360 PS3 Insomniac EA

Given the fonts and colors used to promote this game, you’d almost be reminded of HAZE, this is not a good thing. But look past that, because FUSE does what you’ve often wished games would do. It goes there. FUSE uses real life legends such as Area 51 underground bases and more to set the tone for a serious adventure that is parts Action, parts Shooter, and more.

From the very start of it’s story-line Remember Me is riddled with amazing eye popping visuals of a dark futuristic world. The game play has been perfectly interlaced with the characters.
