Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals Review
I guess it’s always a good sign if you can’t tear yourself away from the game you’re meant to be objectively reviewing, in order to actually get round to writing your review.

Updated: PewPew 2 Review
When the iPad launched on April 3rd, one of the big exclusive launch games was Geometry Wars: Touch. Many iPhone owners wanted to have that game in their pocket, but PewPew 2 is a great replacement.

Deep Black: Reloaded Review
I m always up for seeing new things in gaming, especially when it comes to the tired genre that is the third person shooter. So I was intrigued when the download code for Deep Black: Reloaded showed up in my inbox. It’s about time, I thought, for a third person shooter to take the action…
