A Modern Marvel (X360)

Cue explosions. Cue gunfire. Cue many hours online. The original Modern Warfare, released 2 years ago, was a critical and commercial success by all standards. I spent hours playing through 2 ladders of prestige mode online, along with plenty of other gamers, eager to rank up for that next perk or ...

Complex is Simply Great (XBLM)

Much like side-scrolling games such as Super Metroid, Contra and other games I loved as a kid, Shadow Complex starts as a small, fun little game and unfolds into a massive experience. The game has all the ingredients to be a winner: addicting level design, unique gadgets and weapons, fun ...

Massive Effort (X360)

Yeah, I know I'm late to the party reviewing this game...RPG's aren't my favorite genre to begin with, so I held out playing this for a while. Bioware, famous for developing some of the better RPG's on the market like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, launched a new Sci-fi ...

Battlefield drops an A-Bomb (XBLM)

Battlefield 1943 is a downloadable multiplayer, set in the Pacific Theater of World War II. When details of the game dropped, I simply didn't pay much attention, as I was skeptical any downloadable title would deliver the type of experience you could get on a full $60 game.Battlefield surprised me, ...

The Show? Fo Sho. (PS3)

Sony has done it again. Not only is MLB 09 The Show the defining baseball experience for this year, it continues its dominance over a weaker 2k franchise which benefits from MLB licensing deals - and it does it handily. While there are some very small issues with this years ...

Off the Post... (XBLM)

This is a short review for a short gameNHL Arcade really got me. I mean, they GOT ME. I downloaded the trial, loved it in the first 5 minutes and thought "Hey, why not give this a try?". In the end, the game ends up being a hollow experience due ...

The meatheads are here! Get your chainsaw! (X360)

Gears of War 2 is a wild blockbuster style romp that delivers stunning visuals, decent sound and fabulous gameplay, but skimps on story and depth. In a way, Gears 2 is like a summer hollywood blockbuster - full of continuous battles, triumphs and losses, but it's not going to win ...

Gnar Sesh (X360)

In 2001 I got my fair share of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. Living in a house full of college guys, TH3 was constantly being played by someone. After burning out on it, my interest in skateboarding games waned. With this year's return of the Skate franchise, I decided to ...

Duty Fulfilled (X360)

Call of Duty: World at War (COD5) is a harrowing, violent trip through some of the most historic settings in World War II. Unmatched by other WWII games, but in the shadow of its predecessor, COD5 delivers a stunning experience, although very similar to COD4.The solo mission has plenty of ...

A Capitol Achievement (X360)

Disclaimer: I have never played Oblivion, therefor did not hold any pre-assumptions or correlation to previous Bethesda developed games.Fallout 3 is an epic adventure of monumental proportions. In the year 2277, you are living underground in a "vault" built for human habitation away from the hazardous and dangerous realities of ...

Singing or Sucking? (X360)

Lips disappoints on many levels, even for the casual gamer.Recently I purchased the game for my wife and was intrigued to see how Microsoft would compete with the well established Singstar. The hardware is impressive; It's wireless, heavy duty feeling, and look well designed.Immediately the presentation and artwork fails to ...

An Able Fable (X360)

After years of cooking, Lionhead's latest work is upon us. Fable II has been a highly anticipated title for quite some time, and while it does have its faults and finds inconsistencies - Fable delivers.Just a quick note; the hype machine was out of control during the month of October ...

Beautiful Desolation (X360)

Far Cry 2 begins as open ended as the Sahara Desert: It's wide open, with no rules, little direction and plenty of anarchy. It's gorgeous visuals dominate the game from beginning to end, and the vast open world immediately gives the player the sense that Ubisoft wants to "push the ...

Let the Cash Grab continue! (X360)

My experience with Rock Band 2 is similar to eating a carrot, then eating a carrot dipped in ranch dressing. It's more of the same, only it tastes better and I'm more likely to eat another one. Here's the deal: Rock Band 2 is very well done. Harmonix has perfected ...

Got a spare 8 hours? (X360)

Star Wars: Force Unleashed can't live down the hype. But it doesn't live up to it, altogether.WHY THE HYPE IS REAL:Star Wars has a huge advantage over most video games simply because it often calls upon music, characters, and storylines that tug at Star Wars fans. It's cheap, at times, ...

I'm Melting... (X360)

Bioshock has it all: A eerily creative environment, weapons that change with the players' experience, and plenty of good writing. The storyline is intriguing, and the characters are eccentric.PROS: Bioshock not only delivers well as a shooter - but builds on the genre and challenges the conventional weapons and tools ...

SVEET (X360)

Call of Duty 4 is a game that deserves lots of praise for creating THE deepest online experience as well as a fun solo campaign. I've officially shelved Halo 3 as my "shooter of choice", and haven't been able to put down COD4 since I picked it up.The biggest accomplishment ...

Tigerrrific (X360)

Tiger Woods 09 delivers on many levels this year, improving on many small features that hampered the game over the past couple years. The addition of real-time swing feedback truly allows a player to fine tune their swing via the analog stick. The Career Mode gained a boost with the ...
