Goo Goo Gaa Gaa? I’ll warn you now that this review is going to be pretty short. The reason for this is that there isn’t an awful lot you can say about most Xbox live arcade games, as most of them lack variation at the best of times. Even the mighty sonic the hedgehog basically …
If you own a PS3, what are you waiting for? Metal Gear Solid 4 is Hideo Kojima’s “conclusion” to his classic series, starring a rapidly aging Snake as he fights to stop Liquid (Ocelot) from controlling all of the world’s militaries, which are now predominately privatized. If no part of that sentence made any sense …

Pretty Advanced Warfighting To tell you the truth, I’ve never played a previous Ghost Recon game. GRAW 1 on the 360 got some good scores, but it didn’t spark my interest at that time, and all the previous games were released back in the days when I wasn’t really into gaming. However, I was quite …

Out of this World! Mass Effect is a game different from most on the current market, simply because its greatest strength is something that so many games overlook – conversation. If you remove the conversation system, Mass Effect is a reasonable Action-RPG title with some great graphics and a truly cinematic story. However, by adding …
Button mashing mayhem Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit is the latest in a string of Dragon Ball Z games, and the first in the series to come to the Xbox 360. Most people will have heard of the DBZ anime series, but in case you’re like me and don’t care much for anime, the story …
A fun and interesting look at American politics The Political Machine 2008 is a strategy game allowing the player to run a presidential campaign, forcing them to pander and electioneer with the best of them. Using such diverse elements as campaign headquarters, TV appearances, and speeches, the player travels frantically around the country in an …
This Hero Has Style No More Heroes is different. It doesn’t try to be deep and meaningful, and it doesn’t try to appeal to casual gamers. It’s colorful, ripe with dark humor and most importantly it’s incredibly fun. Travis Touchdown is your average guy, living in a motel in the middle of the city Santa …
A horrible idea that just works Puzzle Quest (for the DS, PSP, and also at some point it came out for the XBLA, PC, Wii, and PS2) casts you as a fairly generic hero (you pick your picture, name, and class) in a fantasy world that is facing an odd resurgence of evil. The story …
The next step to Quake For anyone who’s ever played Quake they will know that they are a great series, always creative in their story lines and never much disappointment when it came to their looks and graphical capability. I’m not a huge player of the Quake series as I didn’t really follow the story …
Gosh darn incredible. The halo games, created by Bungie, will be remembered for many years to come. Hopefully new games will be released, but for now we can revel in the past. One of the games that I thought went unnoticed in all the brilliance was Halo 1 on the PC. Halo sees you playing …
Need for Speed goes legal… I have always been a fan of the Need for Speed franchise and so when I heard a new game was coming out I was naturally pleased, and couldn’t wait to get my grimey hands on a copy. I rushed out on release date, and managed to get a copy …
Shock and Awe… Half-Life, System Shock 2 and Doom 3. Three games of the highest quality, and three games that Irrational – and this is no bad thing at all, provided you’re happy to go along with the lack of obvious innovation – clearly draws heavily from in its creation of the rich, beautiful, exciting …
