Crysis 2

This is, arguably, the best looking game out there for the 360 to date.  A little too good sometimes, it made my eyes hurt, as the sun dappling effect caused me to squint, looking for the enemy.The plot was a bit generic and decisive, but what do you expect?  The emphasis is obviously plac...

Dead Space 2

As a new IP, Dead Space really hit home with me, and now capitalizing on that success, not only with me, but with a huge fan base, the franchise that this game is becoming seems to be devoting, it's, well deserved, acclaim into presenting a bigger and better sequel.  Everything I was hoping for...

Tron: Evolution

Movie games are getting better as a whole, but so is the entire industry of video games.  The curve not withstanding, this is still a movie tie in production and it shows.The story sort of ties in the previous good Tron video game, that wasn't a movie tie in (Tron: Legacy).  In that there ...

Call of Duty: Black Ops

It hasn't been that long since the last Call of Duty game was released.  It was huge and I wasn't expecting this one to make that big of a splash because of the last one's success.  I guess I missed that call.  This one seems to be even bigger.  Treyarch, picking up where Inf...

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2

Boring!!  That's my review.  Thanks for stopping by, have a nice trip, on the rest of your internet journey.  No seriously, I love Star Wars, but this is a stale game and a boring story.  The story, in most games, is just a device to frame the gameplay and give the player a reaso...

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

This game has a lot of things going for it, which helps to compensate for the things that it doesn't do so well.  The art and story are great.  Together they really sell the characters, which in turn puts you into the story.  If you don't get into the story, and you are not down for a...

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

First off, if you liked Assassin's Creed 2, then this is an instant hit for you.  It has lots more of the same with some extra toppings including, but not limited to the new multiplayer component.  This game continues the Assassin's Creed 2 story.  So, that being said, this game start...

Fallout: New Vegas

Fallout is back with tons of quests and whole new corner of the irradiated globe for you to wander for weeks, maybe months.  Though this is not Fallout 4, New Vegas is a new and different extension of the gameplay in Fallout 3.  If this were a sequel, a revamp and possible overhaul to the ...

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Castlevania never looked this good before!  I really liked and labored over the old classic originals of this IP, and I'm glad to see it step up to this generation with such a quality transitional effort.  Brutal platforming and puzzle solving action, embedded in a monster melee festival, ...

Vanquish

Vanquish is a super fast paced third person shooter from Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami.  Think Gears of War, but ten times faster.  I was thoroughly impressed, with not only the look and mechanics of the game, but also the overall work as a whole.  This game is all action, good ...

What is the ECA? What is the ECA?  Who are these guys?  What do they have to do with video games, and why should I care?  Well, if you don't want some vote grubbing, greasy politician legislating censorship and impeding your rights to purchase or play video games, then you might want to find out. ECA stands for Entertainment Consumers Association.  These guys are a nonprofit organiza...
Oddworld making a comeback Oddworld Hitting the Comeback Trail  First reported on developer Just Add Water's site:  A PS3 remake of the 2005 game Strangers Wrath, is set for release on the Playstation Network Easter 2011.  This was a real ground breaking title at the time, and very ahead of the curve.  It was a  combination first and third person perspective platformer, for those of you who don't re...

Microsoft @ E3 2010 Microsoft @ E3 2010  Microsoft made a big splash at this year's event.  Not only did they bring the circus to town, but they caused quite a few ripples with their new slim 360 and the re-named Natal, which is now called Kinect.  This new Xbox comes with a 250 gig hard drive and built in WiFi.  Both upgrades are good, and the slimmer, more quiet design is another step in the rig...
