Raven Squad from SouthPeak Games turned out to be a hard game for me to review. The game combines real-time strategy elements from up above and shoot you in the face first-person shooter gameplay. I normally don’t go for the real-time strategy games and don’t have any in my collection. I typically lean towards more first-person shooter games. How do you review a game that does both while most other games out there do one or the other? How do you compare it? I will tell you after the jump as I suffer through Raven Squad on the 360 and lived to tell about it. Read on.

The Need for Speed franchise has slowly gone down the shitter over the course of the last few video games in the series. Need for Speed: Undercover ended up getting an average Metacritic Rating sitting around the 60 mark between the PS3 and 360 versions, and NFS: Carbon got a better rating around 76 rating on the Xbox 360. Overall, not great, but not bad. Passable if we were going by school grades, but nothing spectacular to take home to mom. The new Need For Speed, entitled “SHIFT” looks to revamp the franchise, crank up the intensity, and pull the Need for Speed franchise kicking and screaming out of the late Fast and the Furious era, and hopefully give you a break from running from those pesky cops.
Does the new Need for Speed game do it’s 84 Metacritic Rating justice? Do you care? Does the title need to have that “f” taken out of the “Shift”? Find out after the jump when I give my impressions of the Need For Speed: Shi(f)t demo.

Got three friends and thirty four bucks? I don’t, but right now Steam is having a sale for the PC version of Borderlands – five bucks off the game for pre-purchasing, or get four copies of the game for $134.
Kind of a no-brainer for me, personally. I just need to make some friends, but those PC gamers more socially adept than I would be wise to save a few bones on what is sure to be a great game.
Borderlands is out for PC on October 26th, and for Xbox 360 on the 20th.
