ZTGD Review Wrap-Up 13
This week I return after a long winter’s nap with the latest video review wrap-up including recently released games such as Bayonetta, Darksiders and Sky Crawlers.
Call of Duty Classic Review
Just over half a decade has passed since its original release, but Call of Duty has been relegated to the retro pile. The past six years haven’t been particularly kind, and even with some admirable upscaling COD looks and feels dated. Still, it’s remarkable and occasionally amusing to experience how little the series has changed since the first go round on the PC. Swapping between Modern Warfare 2 and COD Classic, some lines got a little blurry, some things drove me crazy, and it all made it that much more apparent why the game was such a rollicking success in its day.

ZTGD Weekly Review Wrap-Up Episode 10
The Wrap-Up returns after the long holiday to breakdown the latest reviews including two expensive pieces of hardware and of course the latest games including LittleBigPlanet, Way of the Samurai 3 and of course Modern Warfare 2.
WhipCrack Review
I like indie games, and – like some others its ilk – liking WhipCrack requires perseverance. The early missions are laborious tutorials that teach you controls and basic gameplay mechanics. Tedious, yes, a problem complicated by the less than enjoyable gameplay. This might be alleviated if your sense of humor happens to match the tone of the game (mine doesn’t). If, however, you are part of that niche audience that finds their gaming heart won by the quirky offering, then by all means, crack that whip. (more…)

Hands-on with Dream.Build.Play
Sometimes technology lets us down. I’m not talking about red rings, yellow lights or even the great white unicorn of failure sightings: a busted Wii. No, this time it’s my recording of my time at the XNA booth at PAX. After spending one great big jam-packed hour with the reps, six games and one of the game finalist developers, the whole thing is lost to the tech ether. My time there, however, was way too much fun to not relive, even if it lacks the punch of quotes and footage. Indie games just rock too hard to be confined by such things. The Dream.Build.Play Challenge is for independent and hobbyist devs, and gamers dreaming of bring a game to life. Using XNA Game Studio they create a game for the chance at a piece of the $75,000 cash prize and having their game published on XBLA. This year’s competition saw over 350 entries spanning over 100 countries, and I can hardly imagine the depth of quality in that submission pool after seeing what the finalists delivered.
Hands-on with Fairytale Fights
Fairytales, the cleverly disguised horror stories that kept kids of yore in line is the stuff Fairytale Fights makes comedic fodder of. In a land of fairy stories gone awry, the game emulates the Adult Swim side of things with a saccharine paint job over some Naked Emperor carnage. At first reluctant to view Fairytale Fights as more than a game caught in the wake of Fat Princess fervor, it didn’t take much gameplay to convince me that the cheeky title carves out its own turf.
