The best Fallout 3 DLC to date (X360)
Point Lookout adds more of everything you (probably) love about Fallout 3 to Fallout 3. To start with, it takes place in an entirely new area, not unlike The Pitt, but unlike The Pitt, there is a lot to find and explore for diligent players. Besides the main quest line, ...

Prepare to die. A lot. (PS3)
At the end of Demon's Souls introductory tutorial level, you die. You face a giant boss that shrugs off your attacks and kills you with a single hit. This perfectly encapsulates Demon's Souls. In a word, it is uncompromising. Unlike most games, the enemies in Demon's Souls aren't there for ...

Wanted: Dishwasher, ninja skills req. (XBLM)
The Dishwasher is the prodigal child of Microsoft's XNA suite, which allows just about anyone to make a game on their PC and lets people buy and play it on their XBOX 360. While The Dishwasher started out as one such XNA game, Microsoft has chosen to release this as ...

A single-minded yet satisfying experience (XBLM)
How do you translate one of the most ambitious graphic novels ever into a videogame? Apparently, you don't. You make a game set several years before the events of the book and film it is based on, when the masked vigilantes were still active and hospitalizing criminals on a regular ...

Dead Space Review (X360)
Much like one of Dead Space's necromorphs after meeting the business end of a plasma cutter, I am torn. I really want to love Dead Space for its brilliant graphics, brutally satisfying combat and creepy atmosphere. But I also want to berate it for its generic plot, repetitive structure and ...

This is a Prince of Persia review (v2.0) (X360)
Forget the Sands of Time trilogy: It's time for a new Prince in a new story. This isn't yet another Arabian Nights-esque story, but it's a well-crafted one regardless. The new Prince isn't even a Prince, but more of a mercenary vagabond, where-I-lay-my-head-is-home kind of guy. By meeting Elika, a ...

Can you play Super Turbo? SHORYUKEN! (XBLM)
"Easiest with Dee Jay: crossup j.MK, c.LP, c.LP, Machine Gun Upper (charge d, u + mash punches)"That's what someone told me when I asked how to perform a 7-hit combo on a forum. I guess I should have known better? If that makes as much sense to you as it ...

Welcome to the Wasteland (PC)
Fallout 3's Capital Wasteland is a cruel and inhospitable place, fraught with danger. A nuclear armageddon has eradicated all but the most basic signs that this was once the capital of the USA. You might see some rubble that was once a house, now inhabited only by relics that were ...

If Japan had made The Godfather... (PS2)
Saturday evening. I was just relaxing, having a night about the town, minding my own business, when suddenly, in the middle of the most crowded street in Kamurocho, some guy walks up to me and demands an apology for my presence on "his turf". This gentleman has clearly mistaken me ...

War(head), what's it good for? (PC)
There are those who said that Crysis was just a glorified tech demo that doesn't do anything new for shooters. Those people, in my opinion, are wrong. If they were to say the same thing about Warhead, the stand-alone expansion to Crysis, however, I wouldn't really fault them for saying ...

Smithers, unleash the Force. (X360)
To get the biggest question out of the way: yes, The Force Unleashed is the best Star Wars game since Knights of the Old Republic and Jedi Knight 2, and I'd even rate it up there with the best of them. It's a smashing success in several key areas, but ...

A trip down memory lane. (X360)
If I had to describe Lost Odyssey in one phrase, it would be old school. From the turn-based random battles to the frequent cut scenes to the game's 40-50 hour length (spread over four discs, even), this is a game that would have been at home on the Playstation 1, ...

Being a god aint easy, fo reazy (X360)
Too Human is the result of a long and storied development cycle that spans roughly the last ten years. It started out as a Playstation One game, with a very different premise from the game that is in stores now. Like most games that have come out after such a ...

A brilliant game marred by horrible bugs. (XBLM)
Let's get this out of the way: Castle Crashers is probably the most fun multiplayer experience on Live Arcade today, provided you're playing with friends. It's a fun brawler in the vein of old school beat 'em ups like Golden Axe and Double Dragon, but injected with a humorous tone ...

Be kind, rewind. (XBLM)
Last night, I went to bed at 3 AM. I had just spent two hours playing Braid, but the solutions to a few of the puzzles still eluded me. This morning, I woke up at 11 o'clock, and starting playing Braid again. One hour later, I sat in front of ...

Some legends are meant to die (PS3)
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a stealth action game, just like its predecessors. Also much like its predecessors, it contains many, many lengthy cut scenes. About half of this roughly 15 to 20-hour game will be spent watching, not playing. Even for series veterans, this is ...
