Final Fantasy 13

Final Fantasy 13

Posted on March 7, 2010 in: PS3, Reviews

Final Fantasy 13 starts with a bang. The game drops you right into the action without really jumping too much into the story. The sci-fi like introduction area of the game is a surprise for a Final Fantasy game. The series hasn’t focused on the futuristic aspects like those presented at the beginning of the [...]

Deadly Premonition (aka Rainy Woods) for Xbox 360 – Video

Posted on March 5, 2010 in: Reviews, Xbox 360

Deadly Premonition can best be described as f’ing weird, which makes it a tough game to review. On the surface it’s an absolutely terrible game, but it also seems to be designed for a very specific type of gamer, who will absolutely love this game. The best way to describe this game is that this [...]

Data East Arcade Classics

Data East Arcade Classics

Posted on March 5, 2010 in: Reviews, Wii

I usually LOVE these game anthology discs. Things like the 3 Midway classics collections, the 2 Capcom collections, and the SNK arcade collections will never leave my personal stash of games. The Data East Arcade Classics collection however, just wasn’t for me.
The game is available for wii, and contains 15 classic Data East arcade games. [...]

Heavy Rain is an adventure game developed by Quantic Dream, the team best known for the PS2/Xbox title Indigo Prophecy. Gameplaywise Heavy Rain is similar to Indigo Prophecy and revolves around exploring locations in order to progress the story forward. The biggest advancement in Heavy Rain is that the events can completely differ from player [...]

Bioshock 2 – Two decades of Rapture.

Posted on February 9, 2010 in: PS3, Reviews, Xbox 360

Since the original Bioshock was released a lot of its fans have been eager to see what 2k will do next with the franchise. There’s was a lot of excitement as well as skepticism about the sequel. On one hand the man behind the series (System Shock and Bioshock) wasn’t involved with this one and [...]

Blaster Master Overdrive

Blaster Master Overdrive

Posted on February 9, 2010 in: Reviews, WiiWare

Blaster Master Overdrive is the first new entry in the Blaster Master series in quite a while. The latest was a PSX game called Blaster Master: Blasting again, which most fans have wiped from memory. The original Blaster Master was a port of a Japanese title “MetaFight” and featured the main character Jimmy who goes [...]

Army of Two – The 40th Day

Army of Two – The 40th Day

Posted on February 9, 2010 in: PS3, Reviews, Xbox 360

I was never a big fan of the original Army of Two, it was a decent 3rd person co-op shooter, but just felt lackluster in so many ways that I would much rather have played through Gears of war instead of going through it. I didn’t expect too much of an improvement from the second [...]

Tatsunoko vs Capcom – Ultimate All-Stars

Posted on January 26, 2010 in: Reviews, Wii

The next iteration in the Capcom vs Series (following Marvel vs Capcom, and SNK Vs Capcom) is here, and its Tatsunoko vs Capcom. WTF!? I know. Well first off Tatsunoko is a Japanese animation studio which was huge. Unless you were into anime when it first started coming out over here you probably won’t recognize [...]

No More Heroes 2 – Desperate Struggle

Posted on January 25, 2010 in: Reviews, Wii

Travis Touchdown returns to Santa Destroy, and this time it’s personal.
No More Heroes was a shining light in the Wii’s early life. Back when games only came in two categories (Nintendo published or shovel ware), No More Heroes emerged as one of only a handful of Wii games that appealed to hardcore gamers. It wasn’t [...]

Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 2

Posted on January 23, 2010 in: Reviews, Xbox 360

I loved the original Mass Effect so I was purposely avoiding most information about Mass Effect 2. Guess if I hadn’t I wouldn’t have been as surprised as I was when I actually started playing Mass Effect 2. The game is such an improvement over the previous title. BioWare has taken all the issues I’ve [...]
