'Matt Hazard: Blood Bath And Beyond' Review - Old School, New Fool
Posted 1/21/10 6:13 pm ET by Brad Nicholson in Reviews, Xbox 360
Vicious Cycle Software is aware that 2009's "Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard" wasn't a good game. Overt references to the critical reception and development of the title smothers "Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond" like a wool blanket on a steamy afternoon. And while there is much to be said about just how bad "Eat Lead" was, it should be noted that "Blood Bath and Beyond" is much different and in some respects, a much improved game over its predecessor.

Just because you know the eventual outcome in a game doesn't mean that it can't be a worthwhile playing experience, and Bungie stressed that in describing their approached to "Halo: Reach." The new prequel treads on events already established in the "Halo"-verse, so it presented a significant challenge to the creative team when they began mapping it out. [There are spoilers after the jump, by the way, in case you haven't played any "Halo."]

Although Iron Lore, the developer behind "Titan Quest," was shuttered in 2008, members of the team went on to form Crate Entertainment...because you can never have too many crates! The company's first game is called "Grim Dawn" and will follow a lot of the action/RPG tenants of "Diablo," complete with skill trees, exploration and a heavy emphasis on loot.

The organization brings together great game designers, has them make great games, and then donates the proceeds to charities for kids. The first major release for the company is "Chime" (pictured), a puzzle game from Zoe Mode.

Posted 1/20/10 5:23 pm ET by Adam Rosenberg in Reviews, iPhone / iPad
"Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars," released in March and October of 2009 for Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, respectively, arrived with little fanfare on the App Store earlier this week. I've spent a bit of time tooling around with Rockstar's isometric representation of the Liberty City built for 2008's blockbuster release, "Grand Theft Auto IV," and the experience easily measures up to what you get out of the versions released for the dedicated handheld gaming devices. Assuming you can get over not having any real buttons to press.
Bethesda was supposed to announce a mystery MMO last year that never came to light, and some recent court filings suggested that the title might be a secret MMO not related to the "Fallout" series. Well, the new word on the Internet is that Bethesda's project is an "Elder Scrolls" MMO in the tradition of "World of Warcraft," and an announcement may be on its way soon.

Way back when the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" Xbox 360 bundles were announced, Activision acknowledged that no PS3 equivalent was in the works, and it wasn't hard to see that the game had picked its primary platform partner.
