An immersive atmosphere meets pure brutality. (X360)
ProsAwesome graphics. Nice enemy variety that keeps you rigid. Incredibly immersive thanks to having the HUD built into your character. The story, while somewhat weak, has great storytelling. Yes, I just contradicted myself. Everything is brutal. From crushing your foes with the heel of your boot, to kicking a mutated ...

Pure caters to lovers of speed and over-the-top tricks. (X360)
ProsThe game looks amazing from the racers to the environment. Tricks are fun to watch, great sense of speed reminiscent to Burnout. Online play for up to 16 people. Simple control scheme that works well. ConsWould have been nice with more modes. AI is frustrating to deal with, seems like ...

Some interesting ideas clash with poorly executed gameplay. (X360)
ProsCinematic moments are great. Fire looks and spreads realistically. ConsEverything seems to be disjointed, broken, or awkward. Controls are unforgiving. Game is short with no replay value. Story is questionable with no rewarding ending. The story of Alone in the Dark tries to be overly epic, incorporating Central Park with ...

In the flurry of upcoming games Mercs 2 is rushed and unpolished. (X360)
ProsExplosions are somewhat entertaining, probably the best aspect of the game. Game does not take itself too seriously. Co-op is very fun, at least for a few hours. ConsSaid co-op is brought down by the inability to be more than a couple hundred meters from your friend. Filled with glitches, ...

Too Human is a success to loot lovers everywhere. (X360)
I have a few questions to ask you before I begin the review. These questions will figure out if you, the reader, would love this game. Do you love constantly upgrading loot despite being level capped? Can you deal with the same small array of enemy types over and over? ...

Braid is a unique game that suffers primarily from its pricing. (XBLM)
ProsBrilliant art design. Fun puzzle mechanics. ConsThose same "fun puzzle mechanics" get old somewhat fast. Little to no replayability. Costs 1,200 Microsoft points. Most likely, due to Microsoft's excessive advertising for the Autumn XBLA releases, you've heard of Braid. It is, above all, based on the likenesses of Mario. Not ...

In this day and age, the Track & Field formula is not acceptable. (X360)
ProsIt'll make sure your controller is sturdy.ConsIt will also wear out your controller.Mediocre graphics, bland gameplay, no substance.Laggy online component.The reason I gave Beijing Olympics two stars is simple: it's not broken. Granted, it's repetitious, tedious, and boring; but not complete trash. (Cheers to you, Jumper!) I have not kept ...

A fun, free-roaming game that uses every stereotype in the book. (X360)
Ever wondered what a considerably less violent free-roam Rockstar game might be like? Well Bully is that experiment. Place yourself in a school, where you do 2 classes a day, or can ditch, and adventure about the town mowing lawns, racing bikes, visiting the carnival, boxing with Preps; it's all ...

GTA IV continues the great production, but the formula is tiring. (X360)
GTA IV packs a lot of stuff into one disc, and as such it has a lot of things to talk about. Basic premise is any other GTA layout. You play as Nikolai, "Nicky" as his friends call him, and you're an immigrant from overseas. You've come to Liberty City ...

An interesting premise meets a flawed presentation. (X360)
Iron Man, another game you could have predicted what it would turn out like. Yes, it's based off a movie and yes it is mediocre. To begin with the story, I skipped all the cutscenes. Not only were the characters and voice acting bland, but it put me to sleep. ...

The one game you'd be stupid NOT to buy. (X360)
6 extreme levels, 9 weapons, 21 collectibles, 3 sets of combos and 45 minutes of gameplay. What a bargain!6 levels of "intuitive" combat against a variety of blobs (polygons?) that have legs and try to kick you. You use your trusty weapon and useless "Nightcrawler-wannabe" skills to attack them. At ...

Linear, short, no replay value and particularly boring. (X360)
I assume the viewers of Lost, at least the gamers as well, were looking forward to this game. I hear all about Lost and it's numerous plot mysteries and the show being great just in general. It led me to believe this game might be decent, but it truly fails ...

A solid Max Payne-esque shooter with stylized action. (X360)
So pretty much, I summarized this game in the headline. Take the wealth of bullets, blood, and shooting third-person action of Max Payne and you can imagine what Stranglehold is like. It basically revolves around a cop (Chow) out to save a couple of hostages (his wife and some other ...

Tedious button masher at best. (X360)
StoryI assume the story stays true to the movie counterpart. I say this because I was never really interested in the books, the movies, and this is the first Chronicles game I played. That being said, I know it follows the movie plot for the most part because while there ...

Penny Arcade, while short, is a mostly memorable experience. (XBLM)
To put it plain, Penny AA is not the most in-depth RPG but it's amazing at how easy it is to just pick-up and play. No, you won't be dissapointed if you are a hardcore RPGer, you'll just be caught off-guard. GameplaySo, as previously aforementioned countless times, it's an RPG. ...

Friend or Foe is a beat'em up that gets tiring fairly quickly. (X360)
You play as Spider-Man of course, and can switch between him or your sidekick of which there are 14. I only played SM because he was the most interesting, I just chose my favorite villains to fill in as side-kick. The story doesn't matter, as we all know. All you ...
