Mario Kart (Nintendo Wii) Review
Gaming Heaven :: Monday, April 14, 2008
It was some time coming, but the long standing Nintendo racing institution has finally made it to the Wii. With several less than inspiring versions throughout the years, it will be reassuring for Mario Kart fans to hear that the latest incarnation has recaptured the magic that made this one of the most successful franchises ever made.
Sins of a Solar Empire – PC Review
Gamepyre :: Monday, April 14, 2008
Sins of a Solar Empire is successful in every aspect. As a space game, it has beautiful graphics and all the space “junk” we expect. As an RTS is surpassed every expectation in the sense that its one of the most balanced RTS released, the AI is amazing, works on strategy rather than the zerg, and it was able to incorporate the 4X strategy found only in turn based games until now. In my opinion this is must have game.

XIII Century – Death or Glory (PC) Review
Driver Heaven :: Friday, April 11, 2008
The Total War series on the PC has been a huge success for years, with its indepth army style tactical element appealing to a wide array of strategic gamers. XIII Century: Death or Glory is a game in a similar vein (with a lower budget) by developer Unicorn Games Studios, but is it worth your money?
Conflict: Denied Ops
Bios Magazine :: Friday, April 11, 2008
“Conflict: Denied Ops is a simple and enjoyable shooter for the casual gamer. Gameplay is rudimentary and fans of Army of Two and Rainbow Six Vegas will laugh at the co-op, but if you grab it for a bargain and don’t take it too seriously, it could be a great fix for a wet weekend. The sound effects are loud and the music is fully interactive (reacting to your movements), but the graphics and physics are dated compared to the likes of COD 4 and Gears of War. But if you’re not bothered about unoriginal and generic gameplay, there’s no reason not to enjoy Conflict: Denied Ops.”
Assassin’s Creed (PC)
Driver Heaven :: Friday, April 11, 2008
Assassin’s Creed has been out for around six months now on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 and has proven to be not just a big seller but a very good game. Finally it has made the leap to the PC platform and I am pleased to say it has been worth the wait.

Well, let’s do just that as we dissect the Xbox 360 version of Rocketmen: Axis of Evil.
Need For Speed Pro Street PSP Review
Gamepyre :: Wednesday, April 09, 2008
White in itself, Need for speed is plum packed with content, that content however is ruined by the blur effects of the game. While the cars are rendered beautifully, the only way to take advantage of that is by looking at them in your garage. The second you hit the tracks, the blur takes over. If you are a racing fanatic like me, maybe then this game is worth it. If you are a car collector, this game offers a decent variety, so this game might be fun, but if you are the average Joe looking for a fun game to purchase, then you may want to look elsewhere. This really should be a lesson to future racing games: give us the option to turn settings on or off. By my standards, this is a no-buy; not until it hits the $20 shelf anyhow.
