A superb launch title that raised the bar for next-gen games. (X360)
When the initial line-up of games for the 360 was announced, what caught my eye was Ghost Recon. Even over the summer the visuals were stunning, and after playing the two previous incarnations, courtesy of my roommate's game collection, I was hooked on the series. I've always been a fan ...

Exciting concept but doesn't quite pull it off (X360)
First and foremost, I didn't finish this game so my review of it is pretty shallow. Then again, I guess that should say something about the gameplay. I say this though because there's certainly elements to this game that I missed and can't be taken into account. This also most ...

More fun than a duck on steroids (X360)
Crackdown is somewhat of a conundrum. A game that was first blown off as nothing but an easy way to get in on the Halo 3 beta has exploded into a wildly popular free-roam, sandbox game drawing inevitable comparisons to Grand Theft Auto and the "other" GTA spin-off for the ...

Fair. What's a fair score for a game that is rich with story and character development with breathtaking visuals to boot but fails in technical performance and repetitive environments? A game that leaves you speechless by the end but trying to drive around to complete missions and actually get to ...

An addictive shooter with fluid mechanics and fantastic visuals (X360)
Let's face it, most video games are a dime a dozen. Every genre has its standard bag of tricks. The simple premise of shooters makes them an easy target. Run. Shoot. Kill. Gears of War changes it up slightly. Here, running around in the open will quickly get you killed, ...

The fundamentals are there but it misses the mark in the long run (X360)
The Good: Enjoyable gameplay; nicely detailed Nexts The Bad: Missions are too short; building personal Nexts is fairly useless in the single player campaign; control can be erratic THE BREAKDOWN Growing up in the 80's with the likes of Transformers, Go-bots, Voltron, and MASK, I've been a big fan of ...
