In a way, I hate reviewing budget downloadable first-person shooters. More often than not, they’re simply bad, with poor graphics and lack of polish that can, in a way, be expected of games with a lower budget. Even the good ones often come along with a sense of disappointment because they can’t match up to [...]

The strange history of Lost in Shadow , which saw the game begin as a budget downloadable title and suddenly switch to a full disc release, has brought about a very strange game. Its very compelling concept — taking control of a shadow that can only traverse the world of shadows that the real objects project — [...]

About a month prior to the release of Dragon Quest IX , I had never played a DS game aside from a minute here and there on other people’s systems. I didn’t own a DS and didn’t really have any intention to buy one, especially since the 3DS had been announced already. Then, through a fortunate series [...]

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is definitely one of my favorite games of the year, but not entirely because it is one of the best. I fell in love with the game before even playing it, and while I did find some reasons to be disappointed in it, I thought it was great. The environment, the story, and [...]

Much ado has been made about the addition of keyboards, a wildly overhauled pro guitar controller, and their respective pro modes within  Rock Band 3 . However, the hoopla for the new pro drums mode seems to be far less intense. With that said, I’ve spent a considerable amount of time with the pro drums since the game’s release [...]

There’s a moment that seems to occur with every rhythm game player when he or she begins to wonder, “Am I done with this game?” You know, the setlist has grown boring, you’ve hit a wall with your preferred instrument, or you just don’t feel like whacking around on a plastic drum set anymore. It [...]

Playing Ninja Theory’s previous game, Heavenly Sword , led me to the following conclusion: the game was different. I enjoyed it in a strange, indescribable way. There was simply something novel about the way the studio approached the game – a focus on strange, unique characters, lifelike facial animation, and fantastic production. For some…[Read more]

I’m going to do the unorthodox thing here and begin this review with a personal story. As I was playing the final level of Team 17′s Alien Breed 2: Assault on Xbox Live Arcade, I remarked to a friend that it “feels like a game I might have played twenty years ago.” It was a silly [...]

Greed. One of the seven deadly sins. A simple five letters, yet no one seems to be able to talk about greed properly in the gaming world. We constantly hear about the greed of big companies like Microsoft and Sony due to their apparent desire to charge us out the ass for everything. Early this [...]

Sony Computer Entertainment big boss Kaz Hirai said this week that he believes that a PlayStation console supporting 100% digital distribution is over ten years away. As expected, this opened the floodgates of discussion, with topics ranging from the desire for more downloadable games to net neutrality and the worldwide internet…[Read more]

Man, remember back in the day when Ron Gilbert and Hothead Games released that game DeathSpank? If my foggy memory of those long-long-ago times serves me right, we here at Gamer Limit even reviewed the game . Boy, those sure were the days, but they’re long forgotten now. The world has moved on in the, you know, month [...]

Adventure, as a genre, doesn’t really exist anymore. We have some studios like Telltale who make nice, traditional adventure games that not many people play. Aside from that, you could ask a random gamer what the last adventure game he played was, and he’d probably look at you weird and ask, “You mean like God of [...]

If you live in or around New York City, you’ll definitely want to mark your calendar for October 20th, as the city will get to experience a one-of-a-kind event for those of us who love music and video games. CMJ Play, an event in the CMJ Music Marathon and Film Festival, will give attendees a [...]

Last year, I played H.A.W.X. for something like three hours. It was an experience that I have to struggle to remember, buried amongst the many superior experiences I had that year. I found myself impressed more by the graphics on the ground than the action in the air, which was far more uninteresting than I ever [...]

The glory in making a game with copious references to bacon is that, no matter how many games have done it before, it never fails to be entertaining. Even if other games have made the bacon references more unique, more hilarious, or simply more insane, it’s hard to turn your nose down at a game [...]
