An emotional rollercoaster ride of a video game 0
Metal Gear Solid 4 is a game that will split many people. The series way of telling a story has always been strange, but compelling for those that really get into it, and with MGS4 it's no different. MGS4's story is the single most compelling time i've ever had playing a video game. The story had me at every twist & turn and had me in tears at least 4 times. Not everyone is going to have that experience, but I did and any game that can do that to someone deserves high praises. The acting, wr...

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts 0
Kingdom Hearts II starts off very promising. From the amazing opening music video style intro to the long as hell character introductions and back story (Took me about 4 hours) the game doesn't falter too much. The voice acting is good new characters aren't annoying or dull. Thats just the beginning though. Then you start to get into the real game. The Disney stuff starts to pick up and things start to dive. Unlike the first game where the Disney aspects helped the game. In KHII Disney pulls the...

A solid platformer with amazing tech. 0
The first thing you notice when playing Daxter is the graphics. They are simply amazing. If it wasn't for Tekken this would be by far the best looking game on the PSP. The environments are large, the cutscenes are beautiful, and the framerate stays fairly consistent. While the world isn't as big as Jak II and 3 for a PSP game about a little fuzzy guy not half the size of the regular people it's big enough. Gameplay in Daxter consists of the familiar platforming and vehicular levels from previou...

Familiar but extremely polished and well designed 0
Ok so when i first heard that Valve was going to go with an episodic model, so their games would be released sooner and would allow for a more TV model. Where their are cliffhangers and you can't wait to play the next installment. Then after a while I started to think it was stupid. The length of the games was the main issue. If it was 5 hours and you would get the next installment soon... as in at most a month I would love the idea. The best part about shows like 24 and Lost is waiting to see w...

A flawed game with unique ideas and some fun to be had 0
I have been anticipating Prey ever since it was first shown in it's new form a couple E3's ago. The demo was released a couple weeks before the game came out, and it just solidified my hype. Then the sad truth came out. The game is not as amazing as we all thought. First off it's probably nice to talk about the good. Well the technology that has always been associated with the game works perfect. Portals, weird gravity etc all show up as promised. Without them the game would be very mediocre. A...

A game that proves that all you need is a good idea. 0
Dead Rising is one of those games that is just so unique (for a video game at least) that no matter how crappy the game is you can still find some reason to play it. Luckily Capcom has not made one of those games. It has made a good game all around. The game consists of many missions associated with rescuing survivors and killing psychopaths. All while trying to avoid an endless supply of zombies throughout the mall. Many of these missions are optional and in your first playthrough you will lea...

More of the same great game, but it leaves you wanting more 0
The first Guitar Hero was a dream come true for me. I had always loved the Konami series Guitar Freaks in the arcade, and I was hoping for a US version which of course never came to be. I followed Guitar Hero from it's E3 showing until release and loved every minute of it. Naturally a sequel was announced and again I was excited. Now that the game is out the reality sets in. After one year what else could I expect, but more of the same? Guitar Hero II is a solid game. Better than the original i...

Surprisingly simple and yet it's one of the best DS games around 0
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime has one of those titles that tells you nothing about the game. At first you think its an RPG since it has the Dragon Quest franchise title. But in the end it's really an action/adventure game in the same style as the Zelda series. Then you have Rocket Slime. Which out of the game it makes no sense. Rocket Slime is the kind of game that you have to play to understand. The game starts out with a little Slime named Rocket. Rocket and his friends are screwing aroun...

A great first start full of ideas that need to expanded 0
For a while Wii Sports was my most anticipated game for the Wii. Then came the news that the games were really simple. My heart sank. I no longer anticipated the game and that was that. This may be the reason why I find it to be so much fun. Yes it has it's share of problems, but overall the game is so much fun that you just don't care. As a game there isn't much here. Wii Sports has the traditional exhibition modes that are more for multiplayer and hi-scores than anything else.You can do a tra...

Despite little content Motorstorm delivers great graphics and fun 0
Motorstorm is a hard game to review. On one hand it's full of great graphics, and fun gameplay. On the other it lacks features that many of us have come to expect in our racing games. Despite this I still can find a lot to have fun with. Motorstorm is first and foremost an action game. It has some simulation elements, but for the most part its a what-if game. What if you could take a huge semi truck race it against a small motorbike in huge mud filled environments? Motorstorm answers this in wh...
