Xbox 360 Review: Need for Speed Shift
About one minute into the first career race of Need for Speed Shift, you have felt the enormous satisfaction of whipping around a corner to overtake an opponent. A few minutes later, you realize you’re still using the cockpit view. You didn’t frantically search for the button to change to a third-person perspective. You’re enjoying it, [...]

Saturday, September 26, 2009
The world of Halo ODST is dark and somber, lit by the glow of a shotgun or a sparking street light, while a drizzling rain falls over the broken streets of New Mombasa. ODST undoubtedly is different, moving away from the bright, colorful alien-infestation of previous games while traversing the extensive roads with only partial [...]

Friday, September 25, 2009
TMNT Smash Up is everything that’s wrong with fighting games in the modern era. It lacks any sense of cohesiveness, more content with slapping characters on-screen to flail around without a sense of pacing or flow. Trying to discuss motion controls in a fighting game is pointless. They simply shouldn’t exist. That said, even with the [...]

Friday, September 25, 2009
Darkest of Days really opens our eyes to time travel. For instance, did you know that the space/time continuum is not affected by someone’s death if their paperwork is lost in transit? Who knew it was so easy? So, if you go back in time, kill a famous person, and burn their birth certificate, everything [...]

Saturday, September 19, 2009
In Scribblenauts, you can summon god simply by tapping his name on the virtual keyboard. One would think with god at your disposal, a small ledge intruding on your path would be a menial task. That may be, but only if you’re willing to miss the point of the game in the first place. See, Scribblenauts [...]

Saturday, September 19, 2009
The goal of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is create grand scale superhero action, tossed into the realm of an action RPG. Compared to its predecessor, Ultimate Alliance 2 is heftier, loaded with “wow” moments, such as a spectacular helicopter crash in Washington. Despite the rather small visual scale, with the necessary widened camera to accommodate the [...]

Friday, September 18, 2009
Wet is loaded with faux scratches over its visuals in an attempt to give it the look a grindhouse film. At first, they are an annoyance, a general irritant that exist for show and not much else. Then, it all seems to click. Movie trailers and advertisements for refreshments show up to fill in the boring [...]

Wednesday, September 16, 2009
Late in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, you are tasked with clearing a giant cheeseburger from the roof of an office building. All the while, the workers in this complex are stating that burger is preventing them from doing their jobs, pleading with you to hurry. Since the item in question is on a [...]

Thursday, September 10, 2009
It takes a lot to make a modern shooter viable. It is a genre that has been neglected, the genre namesake now representing a generation focused on first-person play, not merely ones taking place on horizontal or vertical planes. To generate a shooter that is genuinely exciting, you need a keen eye for details, bullet [...]
Continue reading...Xbox 360 Review: Raven Squad
Wednesday, September 9, 2009
While up for debate, Raven Squad may contain the worst voice acting from this generation of consoles. The actors read their lines with a monotone style that makes the subtitles carry more tension, variables, feeling, and emphasis. At the least the written words understand what an exclamation point is for. Xian, a woman caught behind enemy [...]

Saturday, August 29, 2009
Batman – Arkham Asylum opens with the Joker restrained and captured, a refreshing change from games that feel the need to open on an action scene. The player walks through long hallways toward the Joker’s eventual cell, the super villain taunting everyone he passes. Mark Hamill is brilliant as Batman’s most famous foe, whimsically insane as [...]

Monday, August 24, 2009
When we first met B.J. Blazkowicz, he ran around blue corridors, searching for keys, and killing Mecha Hitler. Times have barely changed. Now poor BJ is stuck wandering around a bland town, fighting the same Nazi groups repeatedly as he traverses from one location to the next. This modern Wolfenstein introduces an open-world hub, a useless [...]
