GamingShogunStar Wars Pinball Review (PS3)
Zen Studios is at it again, releasing yet another set of beautifully designed pinball tables.This time around, in a galaxy not so far away after all, we have Star Wars Pinball. There are 3 wonderfully designed tables, full of scenes from the series, as well as animated characters, sound effects, and nods to the George Lucas’ beloved universe. If you’re a fan of pinball or simply a Star Wars lover like myself, this is a must have. When you begin, you’re given a choice between the Light or the Dark side, although it doesn’t have much effect on gameplay, but…
Capcom Arcade Cabinet Pack #1 Review (PS3)
There’s a certain feeling that comes along with digging out an old console and sifting through the games of yesteryear. And walking into an arcade, well, even the air smells of nostalgia. But in this day and digital age, it’s almost impossible to find time to wander over to your, say, nearest laundromat to play your classic favorites. If you grew up in the 80′s and early 90′s, chances are you remember a time when these machines were everywhere – clustered together and surrounded by your peers, teeming with excitement. It was a sanctuary- a home away from home. A place…

Hitman HD Trilogy Review (PS3)
I don’t have much spare time to review video games but when I was offered by the good people at GamingShogun.com the chance to review the Hitman HD Trilogy for PS3, I gladly accepted and made time to dive back into the games that made me such a huge Hitman fan. Unfortunately, my joy quickly dissipated shortly after I began playing. Right off the bat, the Hitman HD Trilogy feels too much like an advertisement for the brand new, highly-anticipated “Hitman Absolution”. The main screen is somewhat visually-unfriendly, as it instantly pops up displaying the 3 games in the title…
The Cave Review (PS3)
“The Cave” is a classical modern adventure game from Ron Gilbert, the mind behind titles such as Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island, and Double Fine Productions, the studio responsible for Psychonauts and Costume Quest. Gameplay is heavy on puzzles and platforming, which not only give this title a fresh feel and takes you away from the typical point-and-click, but manages to break the genre and present something incredibly different than anything currently on the market. As the game begins, you’re introduced to the mysterious, dark and witty narrator, who happens to be the Cave himself. You’re then presented with an…
Black Knight Sword Review (PS3)
Black Knight Sword is an M-rated, 2D side-scrolling platformer that conjures up not only feelings of nostalgia, but also a welcome sense of refreshment. While it may be your typical hack n’ slash title that follows an age-old, linear formula, this Grasshopper/Digital Reality title is far from average. It’s… odd, to say the least. Very odd – with Goichi Suda being a main collaborator on the project. From riding a giant, egg-shooting chicken to slicing up a gas mask-wearing spider, Black Knight Sword takes a shot at the dark, macabre, and downright silly. The result: A thoroughly charming and ridiculously-entertaining experience….
Guardians Of Middle-earth Review (PS3)
The Lord of the Rings has been a fan favorite since long before any of us can remember and, over the years with the advances in media, it has become an even bigger phenomena. Since 1982, we’ve ventured to Middle-earth at the hands of various publishers, including Sierra, Electronic Arts, and more recently, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. With the upcoming release of The Hobbit in theaters, we’re seeing an increase in LOTR-inspired titles, including WB’s successful LEGO: The Lord of the Rings and the newest addition to their catalog: Guardians of Middle-Earth, a MOBA title. For those of you unfamiliar…
