Game Review: Damnation
It is a very rare thing that I choose to get and play a game that doesn't turn out to be fun for at least an hour. Usually my research proves useful and I don't get a lemon when I decided to get a game and spend some real time on it. Damnation was actually one of the first 360 games I've ever owned that I played for less than 30 minutes. Why? Well, let me tell you....
Game Review: UFC 2009 Undisputed
Before I do this review I will clear any speculation. I don't watch UFC, never have - probably never will. It just isn't entertaining for me to sit there and watch two guys struggle around on the ground for 3 rounds. I get the appeal, but I don't see why it has become so popular over the last few years. Anyway, that's that. Here's my review on UFC 2009 Undisputed for xBox 360.
Game Review: Resident Evil 5
There are very few video games that can withstand the trek that is a series. Either the game ends up recycling their old ideas(Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Final Fantasy) or just gets stale and worn out. I'll admit, I love a good series - but sometimes enough is enough. One series among few that has survived has been, ironically enough, a survival game: Resident Evil. I got my hands on it, lets see how the 5th installment stands up to the rest of the series.
Game Review: Halo Wars
The transition from full-on FPS to RTS is quite a big one. On one hand, you're basically a one man army - in the other, you're a ruler overseeing the actions of an entire army. There are very few games that can pull an RTS transition off, I got Halo Wars to find that out. Can Ensemble Studios' last game pull off the switch? Does it do justice to the Halo series? How does this game compare to other RTS games? Well, I found out.
Game Review: Gears of War 2
When it comes to 3rd person shooters, there is a veritable bevy of choices. But a few stand out from the crowd, one of those games was Gears of War. With it's in-depth storyline, fantastic gameplay and easy to use controls - the game is just great, if not the best on the console. The sequel, Gears of War 2, is no exception.
Game Review: WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009
This week I checked out the newest installment in THQ's list of wrestling games, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009. Does it compare to the others in the series? Did I enjoy it? Is Stone Cold in it?! Read on to find out!
Game Review: Grand Theft Auto IV
So with the recent release of the first ever Grand Theft Auto expansion pack to the xBox Live Marketplace, I figured I'd review the game. It was, in my opinion, one of the best games in the series. I will try to recall my experience when playing the game, since, to be honest -- it wasn't that long ago.
Game Review: Fable 2
Ever since October of 2008 I've wanted to get my hands on Fable 2. It's predecessor, Fable, was a great journey in the world of Albion. It was the first of it's kind to add different kinds of elements to the RPG world on xBox. Fable 2 takes place 500 years after the first, and has tons of updated features. Well, I finally got it earlier this year, so here are my thoughts on it.
