It seems that Treyarch, the developers, have tried to focus on a more developed backstory and character storyline than actual gameplay. That may not sit well with gamers who want a full blown world war experience.

Deadlight Review (PC, Xbox 360)
The whole game centers on Randall Wayne, one of few survivors of a virus that reanimates the dead. The story is set in Seattle in the summer of 1986.
Lucius (PC) Review
Lucius is a new horror adventure/puzzle game that is a little different. Instead of a typical survival horror scenario, you play the role of the antihero, a 7-year old boy who happens to have been born on June 6, 1966 (6/6/66).
F.E.A.R. 3 Review
Supernatural horror fans are in for one frantic thrill ride with the release of F.E.A.R. 3 from Warner Bros. interactive. The game returns the original games protagonist the Point Man to the series as his absence was severely missed in the previous game. The game takes place approximately 9 months after the events of F.E.A.R [...]
Brink Info from Richard Ham
If the gaming industry had something like IMDB, you would see Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars, Fable 2, The Sims and the Syphon Filter, just to name a few, under Richard Ham’s bio. Later this year, Richard will add creative director of Brink, a new first person shooter being developed by Splash Damage [...]

Zalman Trimon ZM-M220W Stereo Monitor
While visiting Zalman at a few trade shows, I was introduced to their new stereoscopic 3d monitor: the Zalman Trimon 22-inch monitor. nVidia has been showing off their own solutions that use any regular monitor, so what makes this monitor different, and why would you want to buy one? I spoke with Richard Chung of [...]

Five Things Square Needs to do so Final Fantasy XIII doesn’t suck.
It’s no secret that Square-Enix isn’t the juggernaut they once were during the PS1 and PS2 eras. That’s not to say they aren’t a respected company, they just aren’t the be-all, end-all RPG empire that they were. Most of this happened with Final Fantasy XII, a game that was critically acclaimed by the media, and [...]
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review
The highly popular Call of Duty series has returned in grand style with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The game not only continues the epic series in a grand way but, for my money, is the best in the series to date and is one of the most intense and gripping games ever crafted. [...]

Obscure: The Aftermath (PSP) Review
I don’t believe there are enough survival horror games. Resident Evil rocked for a while, then they decided to focus on insane hillbillies instead of what they were good at… zombies. The original Xbox hailed tons of awesome horror games, which made it my favorite console to play when it was popular. Cold Fear, Doom [...]

Some of the details below may change before the game’s final release. GVK: What is the [...]
Lost Planet 2 Preview
Capcom was on hand at PAX09, and one of their hottest previews was definitely Lost Planet 2. We had a chance to play one of the co-op missions with one of the Capcom employees, who gave us a walkthrough of the mission.

Resident Evil 5 for PC Preview
There were several vendors at PAX 09 that were showing off Resident Evil 5 for the PC. Of course, the Capcom booth was featuring the latest zombie shooter, and nVidia was showing how it worked with their exclusive 3d technology. I spoke with the Microsoft rep at the Games for Windows section about how the [...]
Mass Effect 2: Hands On
We checked out a playable demo of BioWare’s Mass Effect 2 at PAX when we promptly entered the showroom floor and it seems to be on the right track. From the get-go the game seems to throw you into the story, offering some dialogue options to uncover hoopla in some instances, while others can let [...]
Starcraft 2 Hands-On
Fresh off Blizzcon, Starcraft II was available for a 20 minute play-through at PAX. After years we finally have a chance to play a sequel to the beloved real time strategy released back in 1998. If you’re looking for something that reinvents the genre much like Warcraft III did a few years then ago-keep looking. [...]
Red Dead Redemption First Look
OCmodshop was first in line to get a glimpse of Red Dead Redemption; the sequel to 2005’s critically mixed Red Dead Revolver. Keep in mind, Rockstar was very tight about security breaches. No pictures could be taken, videos recorded etc. So we have only what we saw. The game takes place around 1910 in the [...]
