Grand Theft Auto IV (360/PS3)
Rockstar North, April 29
By Glenn "Liberty City Hard Core" Given production@hippopress.com
There’s nothing like a little bit of immigrant-on-immigrant violence to sell a game.
Dark Sector (360/PS3)
Digital Extremes, March 25
By Glenn "First Person Snoozer" Given production@hippopress.com
I was scared poopless at the ’80s Disney flick Krull, so thanks a ton, Digital Extremes, for dredging up old nightmares.
Sins of the Solar Empire, (PC)
Stardock Entertainment, Feb 4
By Glenn "clever witticism" Given production@hippopress.com
In space no one can hear you eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate with a dollop of Real Time Strategy.
Burnout Paradise (PS3/360)
Criterion Games, Jan. 22
By Glenn "Longest drift" Given production@hippopress.com
While I’ve never had the urge to mow down a mall of passersbys in a hail of Call of Duty-incited bullets I must admit that I power slide on turns after a few Burnout sessions; woe unto my Jeep Cherokee’s suspension.
Super Smash Brothers Brawl, (Wii)
Nintendo, March 9
By Glenn "Zero Suit" Given production@hippopress.com
Hit Princess Peach with a giant hammer! Shoot Pikachu with a machine gun! Rejoice!
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (360/PS3/PC/MAC)
Infinity Ward, Feb. 1
By Glenn "Oorah" Given production@hippopress.com
Someone should have gotten a controller into the hands of the W a few years back and mayhaps we could have avoided this whole actual war in favor of hundreds of billions of tax dollars invested in getting next-gen game consoles into the hands of children. Which seems to me a better investment than finding new ways to take a kid’s mother and father and bury them in the sand half a world away. Yay! Call of Duty 4!
Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS)
Level 5, Feb. 10
By Glenn "Critical thinking is the key" Given production@hippopress.com
Elementary!
No More Heroes (Wii)
Grasshopper Manufacture Studios, Jan. 22
By Glenn "teh animes" Given production@hippopress.com
Do you wear fingerless gloves and a Naruto-style headband because you define cool based on the latest late-night Adult Swim cartoons? Yes? Swell, No More Heroes is for you. For me, not so much.
Endless Ocean (Wii)
Arika, January 21
By Glenn "Cage goes in the wata, shaak's in the wata, our shaak" Given production@hippopress.com
They call him Flipper! Flipper! Somethingy something!
Sam & Max Episode 202: Maoi Better Blues (PC)
Telltale Games, Jan. 10
By Glenn "DeSoto" Given production@hippopress.com
The old-school point-and-click puzzler resuscitators Sam & Max ratchet the clever up to a new high with Maoi Better Blues.
