    Final Fantasy IV: The After Years review

    This is what happens when you stretch a story out longer than it needs to be.

    Crackdown 2 review

    I reviewed the original a while back. I might as well direct you there; it’s not like Crackdown 2 is a new game or anything.

    Pokémon Pearl Version review

    My greatest enjoyment from Pearl, as with all generations of Pokemon, has come from finding and capturing every species available, figuring out how the new ones evolve and deciding how best to maximize my Pokemon's move set to create the…

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 review

    Essentially, if you're a fan of Naruto you'll probably love it. That's all I have to say, and I've probably wasted ten minutes writing this because almost NOBODY will look past the zany looking box art to the right. But if you do, I think…

    Brink review

    Being able to communicate with real people is pretty key, as the game involves people taking on one of four different roles (Soldier, Medic, Engineer or Operative – a.k.a. Spy) to complete missions. Success in these tasks is…

    Plants vs. Zombies review

    With neighbor Crazy Dave (who is obviously crazy because he has a pot for a hat) at your side to give you advice and yell gibberish at you, you’re off to guard your precious home by planting organic armies to do your bidding. You build up…

    Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond review

    After the disappointment that was Eat Lead, a mundane attempt at video game satire, I really, truly wasn't expecting its sequel to be hot stuff. I started playing it, realized it was a run 'n gun title in the tradition of Contra... and…

    Tumble review

    Building with blocks in a clinically pure environment, and then resetting the mess with the push of a button. It sounds an awful lot like a parent's dream come true. In spite of that, is Tumble still fun?

    Saints Row review

    And while GTA has been veering towards a less ridiculous narrative, Saints Row begs not to be taken seriously. One scene features your character flying out of a vehicle at 60 MPH and skidding along the pavement. Instead of dying or winding…

    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings review

    Despite a few hitches 'Witcher 2' is a tremendous achievement in the field of computer gaming

    Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard review

    You often find yourself thinking, "Is this a nod to another game, or is Eat Lead unintentionally doing something cliche?"

    Last Action Hero review

    Fists. That's it. There are no guns, no grenades, not even a knife, a sword or a broken bottle. The only time you do get to use a weapon in this game is for one boss battle, but outside that you have to punch both of the different enemies…

    L.A. Noire review

    L.A. Noire is a fairly dull detective game unnecessarily superimposed on an open-world. Most of the time players spend while playing L.A. Noire is doing things that are boring, mindless, rote. When the cases are interesting, as several…

    Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition review

    Street Fighter IV has received its second update with Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition for the Nintendo 3DS. The small portable cart packs quite a punch with every feature from Super Street Fighter IV for Xbox 360 and PS3 along with new…

    Mortal Kombat review

    This game doesn’t just retell events, but remakes the gameplay into something better than ever. The game literally feels like NetherRealm studios took every good piece of Mortal Kombat that ever existed, threw it in a blender, then added…

    Halo 3: ODST review

    Daniel Richtmyre - If you are one of many who enjoy the Halo games, than there is really nothing I can say that will deter you from buying Halo 3: ODST. In fact, chances are, you’ve probably already bought the game. Halo 3: ODST uses…

    Machinarium review

    Romel Ramos – A point and click adventure, Machinarium is a puzzler set in a futuristic robot world. You play as an innocent looking robot; journeying through a gritty machine city, while his story unfolds.

    Tower Bloxx Deluxe review

    Daniel Richtmyre - Tower Bloxx Deluxe is an incredibly addictive game. The premise being that you must stack stories of a building together in order to make an incredibly tall tower. This is done by dropping “Bloxx” from a swinging crane…

    Mirror's Edge review

    Dan McKenney – You might be looking to play a new first-person shooter? If you are, that's cool. There's plenty of options, so take your time. No hurry… Now, a first-person action platform game? Well, there's really only one of those. The…
