Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood – Review (X360, PS3)
The first Call of Juarez was a decent shooter that looked to find a place in the still sparse western genre of video gaming. Bound in Blood clearly learned from the few faults of the original and is an excellent prequel that sets up the story of the original game nicely, though it makes a ...
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
The story takes place some time after the events of the first installment, with the Prince succeeding to undo the release of the Sands of Time. As the narrative informs us, our nameless hero then decides to acquire knowledge of leadership, and sets out to pay a visit to his elder brother, Malik, who was always an ideal for the Prince in his childhood.
Army of Two: the 40th Day – Review (X360, PS3)
EA has made great strides in the last few years to improve their reputation, but with Army of Two: the 40th Day, they have returned to their previous trend of running a promising series into the ground. This title is far worse than it’s predecessor in almost every way. Everything that made the original game ...
Red Dead Redemption – Review (X360, PS3)
As Rockstar’s first foray into the old west open world genre, it wouldn’t be wholly unfair to call it a western Grand Theft Auto. In fact, had this been referred to as a spin off of the series, it would have been right at home. However, while I was quite disappointed with the last GTA, ...
Borderlands: Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
Borderlands was a great new spin on the FPS genre and The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned DLC only improved the formula. Unfortunately, Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot only performs a ‘me too’ by adding little more than a ‘horde mode’ to the original title. To make matters worse, it is advertised as being able to ...
Dark Void – Review (X360, PS3)
I try to avoid reading other reviews before I write my own for a given game since they tend to skew my final opinion. I didn’t do this for Dark Void and saw that professional review scores ranged from five to seven (out of ten). Expecting a completely mediocre action title, imaging my surprise when, ...
God of War III – Review (PS3)
God of War III is one of the better action adventures game to have come out in recent memory, and with incredible presentation style, graphics, and sound score, it can definitely be termed as a ‘Presentational Wonder.’ As a God of War game, though, and as a conclusion, this game will fail to satisfy all its players. Sure, it has a very polished gameplay system, better than ever before, but the very thing that drove it forward in the past games- the story, namely- has lost its touch. If you’re really, really crazy about what you happens after the cliff-hanger end at the end of God of War II, and if you’re a lover of Kratos and his deeds, this game is definitely worth a purchase, but be prepared to be disappointed if you expect an epic storyline similar to that of God of War II.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
The first Bad Company was successful at finally introducing a solid single player experience to the Battlefield series that has always been known for it’s online multiplayer. This sequel continues following our heroes from the first title. Nothing is revamped or changed, but that isn’t necessarily bad since, in my opinion, the original had the ...
Darksiders – Review (X360, PS3)
It may be easy to dismiss Darksiders as another God of War clone, but doing so would cause you to pass up on a game that is surprisingly unique and simply fun to play. The similarities between the two game are simply cosmetic and Darksiders provides a much deeper experience. Sometimes the addition of these ...
Demon’s Souls – Review (PS3)
As a player first enters the world of Boletaria, they push through a viscous, opaque fog filled with demons and impious humans alike. Some are willing to offer their help whilst furthering their own cause, while others will surely seek to scam you and loot your dead body afterwards. Challengers and heroes are able to ...
