Sims 3 is Golden
By: Steven Kelso | May 11th, 2009
I’ve never really been bothered by the green diamond-like cursor over my head. It just floats there and spins about aimlessly. What’s frustrating is whenever it makes me dance silly, and refuses to let me go to the bathroom. I suppose it’s only going to get worse, because The Sims 3 has gone gold!

Gamer Limit Review: Stalin vs. Martians
By: Curtis Takaichi | May 9th, 2009
Stalin vs. Martians is a zany in your face real time strategy (RTS) that leaves players wondering what the intentions of this game are about. Developers BWF, Dreamlore and N-Game have combined their efforts in an attempt to bring the fast-paced and over the top antics of the arcade to the sophistication and in depth play of the RTS genre. Although this game is wacky and very over-the-top, many players will be left with a sense of confusion and loss.
Stalin vs. Martians mirrors the communist regime; it sounds good on paper, but does it fall just as short in reality?

Gamer Limit Review: The Hunter
By: Curtis Takaichi | May 6th, 2009
The Hunter is a realistic experience that brings the pastoral straight to your screen. Combined efforts from Avalanche Studios and Emote Games have successfully captured a stunning paradise. Fused with an assortment of sounds and a sand box style of play, you’ll feel as though you’re living in a poem from John Milton.
Players depend on a wide variety of tools, including the renowned Hunter Mate, to stalk and harvest their prey. Aside from the weapons, gamers will have to use their own intuition, deception and natural abilities if they want to mantle a 12 point buck over the fireplace. Move over Duck Hunt because hunting is not restricted to eight bit graphics any longer.
