Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
Modern Warfare 2 makes all the right moves needed to improve on its predecessor. The campaign has bigger set pieces, co-op missions were added, and competitive multiplayer has been tweaked to near perfection. The single player campaign is far too short, but the multiplayer options are second to none. The story picks up where the last ...
Borderlands – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
Blending genres doesn’t usually work too well, as the games typically turn out as watered down version of each included style. It is because of this that Borderlands is a daring prospect. Not only does it blend two very different types of games, but it attempts to lay claim to a whole new genre, the ...
James Bond: Quantum of Solace – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
Quantum of Solace, along with X-men Origins: Wolverine, seems completely determined to prove to us that movie tie-ins don’t have to mean bad games. It’s no Goldeneye, but the latest entry for James Bond in the video game world is a solid first person shooter that really sucks you into the action with plenty of ...
Halo 3: ODST – Review (X360)
Halo 3: ODST doesn’t do anything to surprise you. You will be using the same guns to fight the same enemies that have been in the series since the start (though, good or bad, there is no Flood). The series has never been much for adding new things to each new title. Even so, Halo ...
Mirror’s Edge – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
At first, Mirror’s Edge seems to accomplish the impossible; a satisfying blend of FPS action and acrobatics that would be more common in a third person adventure. There are a few hiccups that put a damper on an otherwise impressive game. However, by the end, the problems become too prevalent to recommend this game. While the ...
Far Cry 2
There is a world out there different than our own. It is a place where bullets solve problems and diamonds are its currency. Here, the biggest gun wins and the worst aim dies. This world is Far Cry 2. Never before has a shooter done such an excellent job of creating a believable world that makes ...
Blacksite: Area 51
This game is going to fall victim to bad timing. It is a fun FPS that is going to be overshadowed by the more polished and popular Call of Duty 4. If they had sacrificed their pre-Christmas release date and spent more time touching up the few rough edges, the buzz from COD4 would have ...
Soldier of Fortune: Payback
This game strikes an amazing balance between doing nothing wrong while also doing nothing right. Everything about the game almost seemed like a joke, but it was still fun to play. I always felt like I was one stupid gameplay moment away from quiting the game, but that moment never came. The first thing you will ...
BioShock
This game is spilt into two sections. The first part of the game is absolutely amazing and revolutionary. The second part is repetitive and mind-numbingly boring. Unfortunately, the second part is the longer part. Never before had I gone from being so engrossed in a game to wanting to quit playing and never start again. ...
Medal of Honor: Airborne – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
For some reason, I actually went into this game with high expectations. I knew it was EA, so it was probably crap, but I still actually expected something from it. Never before had I been so disappointed in a game. The game plays fairly decently. Each time you use a gun, it gains experience and gets ...
