Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  Overall (not an average): Developer: Capcom Entertainment When word first came out about Devil May Cry, I was pretty excited. A big fan of the Resident Evil series, and just about any other action/adventure game that doesn't rely on little anime-ish tykes with too-big heads, I couldn't wait to see what happened when they took a dose of Blade, a dash of ResEvil, and a little touch of the gunslinging Western movie and made a game out of it. Having played it now, I can only say that it was close, but no cigar. While stylistically the game is definitely tops, the gameplay concepts are nothing new, the mechanics clunky and awkward in places, and the story all-too-familiar. Categorized as: Games and Reviews

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  Overall: Developer: Stormfront Studios The words "pool or radiance" serve as a kind of litmus test for hardcore computer role-playing gamers. Equally powerful is the phrase "gold box game." If you remember when a badass machine had VGA graphics and a 286/16 processor, and are a fan of CRPGs, then you likely know of and probably played at least one of SSI's legendary "gold-box games." A series of games based on the popular Dungeons & Dragons pencil-and-paper game, the gold box games were a serious evolution of what role-playing meant on the PC. Along with the Bard's Tale and early Might & Magic games, they set the standard for decent computer role-playing. Categorized as: Games and Reviews

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  Overall: Developer: Croteam First off, don't worry if you haven't played the first Serious Sam. I hadn't and it's not necessary. Second, while it's called Serious Sam, the game is in fact, very silly. The chainsaw-wielding maniacs with jack-o-lantern heads are a big clue. There is a plot, but it's not that important to your gaming experience. You're killing alien invaders in pre-Columbian South America, ancient Babylon, and medieval Europe. And killing lots and lots of alien baddies. Did I mention the killing? Categorized as: Games and Reviews
