Diablo III Beta First Impressions

Well, the Diablo III Open Beta has arrived!!! Oh the long wait of "When is this thing actually going to be here so I can play" is partially over. Yes, partially. At the moment, I'm not sure which game took longer to come out with a part 3. Doom or Diablo? Hmmm... Anyways, I recently played the open beta of Diablo III. Does this game have all of the promise that we have all come to expect from the Blizzard powerhouse? Let's check it out!

Project X Zone debut Trailer

Sega, Capcom and Bandai Namco just dropped the teaser trailer for their upcomin crossover game, Project X Zone.  As no suprise the game will have a similar approach in combat like NamcoXCapcom  that released on PS2 some years ago.  I am very excited about this game and I hope it's brought stateside unlike NamcoXCapcom.  Check out the trailer and enjoy.

GVN Review: Journey (PS3)

Journey, the latest game by thatgamecompany, is an odd game to describe let alone write about. Very much like their previous works Flow and Flower, Journey aims to provide a thought provoking experience more than push the player with technical challenges. It straddles that border between being a game and being art. Does Journey sit tight atop that border, or does it falter to one side?

Review: Avernum - Escape from the pit

My latest review for Diehard Gamefan has been published.  Pleae check it out. Here's a small excert from it.

http://diehardgamefan.com/2012/04/18/review-avernum-escape-from-the-pit-pc/

"Avernum: Escape from the pit is actually the second remake of Spiderweb’s first game, Exile: Escape From the Pit, from back in 1995. The first remake, released in 2000, was just simply called Avernum. The first remake completely overhauled the graphics, audio, and added more content. Exile and Avernum 2000 are point and click turn based role-playing games in the same vein as Baldur’s Gate, Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale. Now twelve years after the first remake, is there anything left to be added or improved upon in Avernum: Escape from the Pit?"

GVN's Review System

I am proud to say that we here at gvn are going to provide you with as much content as physically possible.  One of the things I am happy we can bring you is honest-to-god unbiased game reviews.  We use a letter grading system instead of the 10 or 100 point system that the majority of gaming publications use. 

Most sites, while truely honest about their own reviews, tend to not have a score that equals what they were saying.  A decent or average game is usually given a 5 or 50 but the majority of the readers take it as a negative review, so to compensate this the writers curve the score to where a decent or average game gets a 7 or 70.

Our letter grade system throws all the confusing out of the window.  And we also include a small list postivies and negatives thrown in at the end to show what it was we felt strongest about in our play throughs.  So please enjoy the new content we are throwing your way and stay tuned for more reviews on the way.
