Game Review: Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

   Have you ever wanted to be a tiny alien inside your own U.F.O. destroying organic life forms that are taking over your planet? Well if you said yes to any of these things, this game is for you. Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is a visually stunning and to say the least creepy game. As you use tools found along your journey at your disposal you will unlock bits and pieces about what this opposing force is doing to your planet and locations of where your next "big discovery" will be.
   As the game starts you find your planet being overrun by this black force that seems to be organic, but at the same time mechanical. So you jump into your U.F.O. and head out to try and find out what's going on. You start out with a scanner tool that helps greatly along the game, telling you what enemies are weak against or what tool to use to get around the next obstacle.
   All-in-all this game amazed me greatly, it also offers co-op for those of you who love working together.

Game Review: Darkspore

"A new breed of action-RPG"
   The motto for MAXIS' new game Darkspore. This game features a mind-blowing amount of customization to the point of which I didn't know what to do with myself. It was a game that I had heard about but never really looked into at all, but when I did I found myself loving this game.
   It has a healthy amount of exploration and guided gameplay to keep me interested for longer than the average game. The multiplayer is extremely fun with your friends or even complete strangers. And the fact that you can mix up your squads made this game rare, but at the same time it didn't venture too far from your normal RPG's.
   So in my personal opinion I would recommend this game to anybody that's looking for a great way to have fun.
