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 ...
Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver- Review (DS)
Buy this game and play it. It will be then that you realise that not only is this the best handheld game ever created, this is also on par with all the old-time classics, and can blow any current console game out of the water.
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, ...
Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena – Review (Xbox 360)
Richard B. Riddick seems to be the perfect character for a video game. His weapons expertise and ability to see in the dark translates perfectly to the media. 2004′s Escape from Butcher Bay showcased his skills well, but made a few missteps, namely not giving you his eyeshine until halfway through the game and having ...
Final Fantasy – Review (iPhone)
With the recent release of Final Fantasy 13 on consoles, the timing couldn’t have been better in giving gamers a chance to experience where the series got it’s start. While Final Fantasy on the iPhone is great for a trip down memory lane, be warned that this new version has received only a graphical overhaul ...
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 ...
Mass Effect 2 – Review (PC, X360)
In 2007, the RPG genre was shaken at its very roots by a studio we thought had done their part in forming that particular aspect of gaming. BioWare, the potential grandparents of Role-Playing Games, and the creators of Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic and Neverwinter Nights, decided to give us a glimpse at the future of RPGs.
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, ...
