Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

A game which hid in its own shadow of development, now chases the shadows of Chernobyl...Does it survive?

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl was one of those games that I witnessed only momentarily flashing by the screen on any given G4-TechTV show, or Gamespot Bulletin. The fact is, to me, without knowing the concept it simply lo... Read Full Review

Plants vs. Zombies

This addictive little gem may seem as though it'd be best played in short bursts, but good luck getting yourself to stop

Plants vs Zombies is simple. It's a simple game that I often play in windowed mode whilst I take care of some other business. Of course, that may not be the smartest decision, because Plants vs. Zombies is also a game th... Read Full Review

Face of Mankind

Believe it or not FoM singe-handedly blessed me with my most memorable gaming moments of all time, shortcomings and all

Face of Mankind Written December 6th 2007 As a brief forward, I participated on-and-off in the Face of Mankind open Beta for what seemed to be a solid two years. I experienced what my friend's and I called old-scho... Read Full Review

Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach

Captures all the feel and more of a D&D classic, but misses the Massively Multiplayer mark in a big and terrible way.

Dungeons and Dragons, as many may already know, was essentially the birthplace of everything that is "High Fantasy". The franchise started out (and still is played) as a pen and paper game, where you and you're friends, ... Read Full Review

The Lord of the Rings: Conquest

Simply atrocious. There is not a single thing that this game does well, and as such, It is an irrevocable failure.

My goodness. I believe this may be one of the single WORST games I have ever played! I'm so overwhelmed by that notion that I'm just not sure where to start…. The concept? It doesn't sound so bad does it? Take an awa... Read Full Review

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

<br /> It's solid- like an uninteresting, understimulating rock that literally brings nothing new to the table.

Simply put, Warhammer Online might as well be called a darker version of any of its fantasy-heroic-questing cousins (be they World of Warcraft, or everquest 2, or what have you), because the game really doesn't bring m... Read Full Review

Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath

This expansion represents what the original game should have been, but now, it doesn't do enough to save the franchise.

While Kane's Wrath certainly improves upon the Commander and Conquer 3 formula, its improvements to the core game don't fix what is inherently a failure to begin with, and a game made worse at some points, via the introd... Read Full Review

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

A heavy reliance on 'the way things were' makes Command and Conquer 3 a tired, old, and uninspiring strategy experience.

It doesn't get much more unfortunate than this. The Command and Conquer strategy series was once at the forefront of strategic gaming on any gamer's mind. PC's across the globe were once littered with Command and Conqu... Read Full Review

The Witcher

Unfortunately, a great story fails to float an overly mechanical gameplay expirience that totally lacks immersion.

The Witcher Dated November 27th 2007 As gamers, we tend to look at certain games, and stand in awe of their power, sometimes even before they reach the shelves. This is because, as gamers, these days we're o... Read Full Review

Spore

Like a glass of self-stirred chocolate milk Spore held so much promise, until you realize it's mixed all wrong.

Spore was my first, and( thus-far ) only preorder, and from E3 to Tokyo and Leipzig, I, like so many of you out there, followed this game from its inception to the days prior to its release. When those days finally dr... Read Full Review

Madden NFL 09

Yet another madden that proves that next-gen football isn't a by-word for the next step in football gaming.

Well, there I was. The year was 2007, and I had so quickly laid Madden 08 on the 360 to rest: "I will never buy another madden game again, before I rent it!" I yelled to my (equally) madden-enthused bro. "The progre... Read Full Review

Call of Juarez

A unique but flawed expirience that can be both easy and difficult to reccommend at the same time, for various reasons.

Call of Juarez is an interesting game to review. By all accounts now, it's getting a bit long in the tooth, released more than a year ago now and as such, that may change the perspective I take on it, given what's been r... Read Full Review

Wii Sports

The first true family gaming expirience which can be just as competitive as their real counterparts. This one's a keeper

Wii sports comes bundeled with the Wii system, and, I've got to be honest when I say that even if it wasn't bundeled I'd still love to get my hands on it. Truth be told, this game, upon first glance doesn't look like muc... Read Full Review

Dragon Age: Origins

Hours and Hours of delving reveals a memorable RPG with more than enough room to grow.

Dragon Age: Origins came to the Xbox 360 with a notable degree of hype. It was, after all, cast as a kind of spiritual successor to one of the most beloved RPG's of all time: The Baldur's Gate series. What's more, the ga... Read Full Review

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

As if one run wasn't deadly enough, Max Payne is back for more, and once again, he's bringing his A-Game to the PC

Max Payne, in its first rendition, was a bomb shell of a game, delivering, fast, adrenaline pumping, and innovative action. The second showing brings much of the same, though it is, by rights, subsequently less innovativ... Read Full Review

Heroes of Might and Magic III

For all these years, and all attempts to emulate the formula, both recent and otherwise, Heroes 3 sits in the highchair.

It has been many years since the release of Heroes 3, and, although there have been several renditions of it, both as part of its own franchise, and by virtue of other games following a similar formula, Heroes 3 is looki... Read Full Review

Spore Creature Creator

This little creative tool does what it set out to do, and does it so wonderfully that it's easily recommendable.

If you've got some zany ideas for a creature stuck in your mind, or if you're just imaginative, artistic, or creative at all, cough up the ten bill and get this program. It's as simple as that. The Spore Creature Creator... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

An exhilarating, emotional and engaging campaign and a deep multiplayer expirience makes CoD4 an astounding expirience.

Where to even start with this? Well, Perhaps I should begin with a bit of a back story. I've never been a Call of Duty fan. Truth be told, I owned Call of Duty 3 for the 360 hoping to get a great shooter experience out o... Read Full Review

Madden NFL 08

Madden 08 on the PC delivers the truest form of NFL simulation of any madden this year, hands down. Believe It!

Excerpt: Call me crazy, but Madden 08 on the PC delivers the truest form of NFL franchise simulation of any madden this year, and for the biggest of football fans, that makes it an incredible and classic experience. ... Read Full Review

Madden NFL 08

A shallow franchise mode, terrible commentary and awkward gameplay sum up this unfortunately dismal NFL expirience.

As some of you may know, I'm a huge fan of the madden series. I've owned countless iterations and versions of EA's football product, and have both enjoyed them tremendously while been equally disappointed throughout the ... Read Full Review

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

There's not much to say about Hitman 2 Silent Assassin, other than the fact that it's a Hitman game, plain and simple.

May 9th 2008 Part of a review 'triology' encompassing the 3 Hitman titles within the recently released Hitman Trilogy package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------... Read Full Review

Crysis

A tremendous graphics engine, great concepts and intriguing story offer much, but the game is also rife with tedium.

Excerpt: A tremendous graphics engine, and a novel super-hero esque- concept and story inject interest and enjoyment, but also frustration and tedium into the game, making Crysis a mixed bag. ---------------------------... Read Full Review
