  • Abstract:  Viking: Battle for Asgard has been on Geek.com’s radar since late last year during SEGA’s Winter Wonderland. At that time, we just got to watch and admire the game. Later, at SEGA’s Sweet Celebration, we got a chance to get some ha...

  • Abstract:  Combat in Viking is going to require the player to think a bit. Its not just about what happens once the fight starts - its about how you set it up. Skarin has a basic stealth capability and, with an early unlocked move, can instantly kill any enemy...

  • Flood of blood; massive armies of dudes on-screen at once; stealth Vikings?
  • Wicked frame-rate issues during big battles; shallow combat for the lazy button-masher.
  • Our first hands-on preview of Viking: Battle for Asgard was incredibly positive. Indeed, it looked like the game would be everything Koeis Dynasty Warriors series could have been had it meaningfully evolved since its first iteration. But after hacking...

  • Abstract:  Platforms: Xbox 360, PS3 My biggest fear when I'm going to get my first look at a game I've been looking forward to is that I'll come away underwhelmed. It happens more often than you might think - someone on the development team taking you through the e...

  • Delivers satisfying hack-and-slash action; interesting premise; solid presentation
