 We came across Genetos after reading a post from Gamers With Jobs, and after we spent a 20 minute session playing through the game, we were awed. To describe the experience in a sentence it would be that it is a game that teaches the player a lesson of progress, of evolution, of the genre; and that genre obviously being vertical scrolling shooters. We recommend that every fan of the genre, or simply anyone who has encountered any shooters in … More…  Runaway: A Twist of Fate, the 3rd installment of the Runaway series by Spanish studio Pendulo, turns out to be quite a pleasant surprise. While it tells of a light-hearted story without much depth, it does bring good old traditional point-and-click adventuring back to the PC with some evolved next-generation gameplay mechanics. While we totally missed the first Runaway, we had a terrible experience with the 2nd installment, Dream of a Turtle. Perhaps playing the game on the DS was … More…  We’ve been looking forward to Mass Effect 2 for a while, since we were really impressed with the first one — it told a great Science Fiction story with great atmosphere and gameplay. Mass Effect 2 improves upon the original, gameplay-wise, it takes out menial long elevator rides, driving sequences, managing items and equipments, juvenile hacking/unlocking mini-games, a bunch of things that didn’t really bother us that much the first time around — and made the game more like a … More…  Darksiders wasn’t a game that we had looked forward to playing, somehow it missed our radar and then landed in our lap after all the good things and bad things we have heard about it, two contradicting views that got us intrigued. Our verdict is that it isn’t a bad game, and depending on what kind of gamer you are, it might even be worth your time or money. I’ll get right to the point and say it, Darksiders lacks … More… 
I wasn’t planning to like Bayonetta, with all the attention it was constantly getting all last year from the gaming journalist world, I was getting very sick of the very mention of her name — or maybe I was justjealous. I was determined to hate Bayonetta, since I was not fond of the overly pretentious and lack-of-substance Devil May Cry series, I ended up tolerating it while I went through the game, and I even liked it a little at … More…  Tekken 6 was not a game I looked forward to before it was out but I picked up the PS3 version near the end of last year and have not stopped studying its intricate fighting system ever since with some kind of religious fervor. To say I am new to the Tekken series isn’t too far from the truth even though I probably have touched every game in the series. And by touch I meant loading up the game, setting … More…  The Zelda tune was something that I always carried with me from childhood, like most of the Castlevania and Mario BGM music, I hummed the tune from Zelda in high school whenever I was feeling down, it had the ability to ensorcell me with magical delight, as if it teleported me instantly to the fantasy Hyrule. It was as memorable as the Xmas Carol, more so. There was a long gap, almost a decade after I played the 2nd Zelda … More…  It’s been a little over a year since Little Big Planet emerged and brought life to the stale PS3 online community. For the first 2 months it was out, my girlfriend and I played it incessantly, and for almost a year it has been collecting dust on the cabinet shelf under our TV. The Sackies – Level of the Year, brought my attention back to adorable Sackboy and his fantastic world of LBP. I can’t with a good conscience call … More…  It has only been 3 months since the launch of AGG and so we are not going to make it a tradition that we are going to, for example, list the top 10 games in 2009 for each platform, nor are we going to name a game of the year, I bet you can go to other gaming websites for that. For that is pointless, if there were 20 good games in 2009, as a dedicated gamer you would be … More…  We have looked forward to PixelJunk Shooter for a while even though we weren’t a fan of Q-Games’ previous works. PixelJunk Shooter not only did not disappoint, it is definitely one of the best original games on PSN, next to Fat Princess and Flower. This is a shooter that makes you think, as a matter of fact it is a puzzle-exploration game disguised as a dual-stick shooter. We took a while before we could settle with the tag-line of this … More…  Saboteur, the last game made by Pandemic Studio, now officially closed down as the next victim of EA’s long history of destruction of talented game development studios, just does not deserve all the hate from reviewers of prominent sites. To put it frankly, we have never liked any one game Pandemic has created so far during the years so we were oblivious when we heard of its demise. Now putting our hands on Pandemic’s swan song achievement of the combination of art and … More…  We aren’t big nonfiction readers but over the years we have recommended a few books to others, Freakonomics and its sequel SuperFreakonomics being one of them. Humans respond to incentive — that is the underlying theme of this series by authors / economists Stephen Levitt and Stephen Dubner. Those of us at AGG will now apply the theory of Freakonomics to software piracy, a phenomenon that has existed since the dawn of personal computers and predated the Internet, an abnormality … More…  Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes came as a pleasant surprise, that we never did keep taps of this game, and that when it arrived in our hands along with Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Clash of Heroes captured our undivided attention that we totally ignored the anticipated Legend of Zelda. Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, published by Ubisoft, developed by Capybara Games, is a strategy RPG game on the DS. Clash of Heroes is so unique that there’s nothing exactly … More…  While the App store isn’t even 2 years old yet, the numbers of apps that has surfaced on the App store is as abundant as plankton in the vast ocean. Therefore those of us at AGG have compiled a list of the 10 best iPhone games for real gamers, and that is not to be confused that any of these 10 games are even remotely hard-core games, they are not. It simply means that these are totally unique games on … More…  We rarely review a game twice but we fell in love with Dragon Age Origins, even more so on our 2nd run, and thought we would break this rule and write another article about it. Be forewarned that the following article will contain spoilers, as a matter of fact it will contain nothing but spoilers. If you are not ready for it (which means you haven’t played the game), read our first relatively spoiler-free review. How do we end up … More… |
