Bargain Basement 18 – Hulk

Although there have been a number of games that have attempted to capture the Hulk in an electronic format, none of them have really nailed the pure destructive essence and dual nature of the Hulk's condition until this one. It's funny, even though this particular version was created as a tag-along to the much-maligned Ang Lee film, I think the end result was even better than the more recent, free-roaming Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

Scarface: The World is Yours – Review

Read review of Scarface: The World is YoursRight off the bat, Scarface does something smart by establishing that it isn't going to be a simple adaptation or an attempt to retell the film in game form.

F.E.A.R. – Review

Cold Winter – Review

There's nothing easier than firing a gun. Point at something, pull a trigger, and a bad thing happens to that something. Throughout human history, if one person wanted to kill another, they needed one of two things: the element of surprise, or a physical advantage (size or skill). The invention of the handgun has rendered both of these factors irrelevant. Now anyone can kill anyone else at any time by just pulling a trigger. So why do console controllers make it so difficult to do in First Person Shooters?
