Starhawk

 

You break free from a drop pod after a fresh respawn, and immediately a Hawk swoops within your team's shield generator and launches an array of cluster bombs, disabling that precious bubble of protection the generator had been providing while enabling...

Starhawk

 

In 2007, gamers were treating a re-imaging of a PSOne Classic by the name of Warhawk. In 2010, the on-screen action was ramped with the release on the online spectacle known as MAG. Two years later, developer LightBox Interactive releases the spiritual...

Starhawk comes into the mix with an uphill challenge ahead of it. The field of current-generation games is littered with quality shooters waiting to fill up our gaming timecards. With games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and others providing the...

In contrast with many of today's modern shooters, Starhawk is not that complicated. There are fewer frills to worry about and consider here. This game is about teamwork, strategy, taking advantage of positions, and orchestrated defense building and...

Starhawk

 

There’s something satisfyingly visceral about Starhawk’s self-constructing, tower defence inspired structures as they fall from the sky. Thundering towards the ground in a neatly compressed package they land with a camera shaking metallic thud, kicking...

It’s the single player element that proves the weakest link in the package, as whilst it isn’t terribly conceived, it remains a shallow experience, providing nothing that a decent tutorial couldn’t have done in preparation for the plethora of more...

If you're reading this then it means you haven't run away from the thought of a third person shooter using RTS elements. One could be forgiven for the inevitable shudder that crawls down your spine when thinking of games like Brütal Legend that thought...

Starhawk Review

 

Veterans of Warhawk, the second-to-last game from the studio whose employees went on to form LightBox, will be able to jump right into Starhawk—as soon as they come to understand the game's deceptively complex "build-and-battle" system.

Build-and-battle genre mash-up, gorgeous stylized visuals, deep combat for hardcore players

Steep learning curve, style-over-substance campaign, horrible AI

Starhawk Review: Laying a Solid Foundation

 

Developer LightBox has crafted a fast and fun (if imperfect) shooter hybrid.

Imagine you're surrounded by the enemy in a game of Capture the Flag. A stream of rockets slowly chips away at the walls protecting the flag, and it's only a matter of time before the walls crumble and reveal a path straight through your base. Yet, by...

Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition

 

The indie darling Minecraft has now forged its way onto consoles, giving those players a chance to see what all the fuss is about. To its credit, Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition is largely the same fascinating game as its PC counterpart, giving players an...

Yeah, I'm going to take a lot of flak for apparently not rewarding a game with clearly excellent online multiplayer. But I remain stoic in my belief that a single-player campaign should boast a solid story and shouldn't merely serve as a warm-up for...

Starhawk Review

 

If you can handle some turbulence, getting the hang of Starhawk's bustling battlefields is an exciting pursuit.

Novel building mechanic creates diverse combat ; Lively blend of ground and airborne vehicles ; Attractive visuals ; Challenging cooperative play

Jarring transition between different modes ; Some multiplayer elements are poorly explained

The five-hour campaign lets you play around with all of these things, though basic structures like turrets and supply depots are much more heavily featured than more advanced buildings. In each level, your loadout is tailored to the task at hand. This...
