Star Wars: Battlefront II review
With as many Star Wars games as there are on the market, it might be hard to imagine that any of them stand out. Knights of the Old Republic managed to do this with its famed openness and attention to morality, but even that title told its…

Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles review
Oh, boy. Jake Hunter wants so bad to be a cool film noir private eye. He's got the crappy one-man agency, the staff of exactly one perky secretary always bringing coffee, the no-nonsense attitude, the penchant for smoking (Marlboros. He’s…

Flashback review
Flashback The French are an odd people. On one hand, you have the image of these funny bunch wearing scarves, eating garlic and cheese, and drinking barrels of wine while surrendering to everyone who asks them a single question. On the…

Condemned 2: Bloodshot review
I’m the type of person who easily forgives flaws. So long as a game has one incredible, striking element I can ignore shoddy camera angles, loose controls or bad graphics. It’s a requirement that shifts depending on which genre I’m…

ICO review
The reason ICO is so difficult to capture in a review is because it is an experience that occurs in the negative spaces that its narrative leaves behind. From the moment you start ICO, you will be struck by how sparse it is. All the game…

50 Cent: Blood on the Sand review
[VERSE 1] They comin' at 50, they after his jewels, if they comin' at 50, God they must be fools. This man is from Queens, and he ain't fucking around, when he's spraying that gat, better drop to the ground. He’s armed to the teeth…

Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light review
Rumors spread that this was going to be a reboot of the original 1987 Final Fantasy for the NES because of its western title and Square Enix's insistence that it would be a "throw back" to the days of 8-bit role playing games. Others…

Archon review
Conquest! That supreme notion that you have overcome your opponents, that the ground you walk on is now yours, and that all your opponents can do is cry and bleed. Ha-ha, you might laugh. My knights have cut your goblins to ribbons. My…

Gran Turismo 5 review
Table of Contents: The Menus Hidden Options The Driving The Dynamic Lighting What will successfully create a sense of realism - and therefore immersion in driving games is very subjective, I think. Perhaps more so than with any other type…

8 Eyes review
Everyone compares 8 Eyes to Castlevania, and gamers are split down the middle on which is better. If you couldn't tell by my score, I'm of the “Castlevania is better” persuasion. Both games are marked for having extreme challenge, though…

Gallery: World Cities review
When I turned on my Microsoft Xbox 360 entertainment system on December 26, 2010, I was just going to play Pac-Man CE DX. Possibly even some X-Men and Doritos Crash Course. However, my life took an unexpected turn when I decided to browse…

Metroid: Other M review
Metroid: Other M tells two stories. One is the story of Samus Aran, galactic bounty hunter - a story that is objectionable because it is poorly written and incompetently executed. The other is the story of Yoshio Sakamoto, videogame…

The Adventures of Star Saver review
Imagine: a run 'n gun game where you play as a tough LAPD cop who looks like he's twelve, surrounded by giant pill bugs, vicious cartoony dogs, and killer music notes, your trusty standard issue handgun drawn and your sentient mech…

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands review
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is such a sad game. It isn't really that bad, and it aims high, but it just isn't that good. After a failed reboot, the developers sought to resurrect the franchise by bringing it back to its roots…

Questron review
Those of you who have played Ultima 1 will notice the similarity between Questron and that game because Strategic Simulation Inc. (SSI) secured a license from Richard Garriott which SSI then used in structuring the game world. The game…

X-Men: The Arcade Game review
there was never a point where I thought to myself, “man, I wish they’d break all this hardcore super hero violence up with a couple of quick time events!”
