Halo 3
A good game that redeems the story for the final part, but fails to add anything that refreshing to the series.
Halo was the predominant gaming series on the original xbox. So needless to say the final part of the trilogy had alot to look up to upon it's announcement for the 360. In many ways the game has indeed hit those heights,... Read Full Review

Phantasy Star Universe
Phantasy Star Universe is a good game, brought down by many flaws.
Phantasy Star Universe is the much awaited sequal to Sega's Phantasy Star Online, originally released on the Dreamcast five years ago. This time around though Sega have added a single player offline mode to balance out t... Read Full Review

Blue Dragon
A poor first attempt by Mistwalker, slight flaws and staying close to the classic RPG formula don't make it special.
Blue Dragon is a game that upon announcement had alot to deliver. Created by Hironobu Sakaguchi (the creator of Final Fantasy) featuring Nobuo Uematsu (famous composer of Final Fantasy) and designed by Akira Toriyama (Dr... Read Full Review

Ratchet & Clank Future 2
Funny, touching and gorgeous, A Crack In Time is a brilliant conclusion to the Zoni story arc.
Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time is the conclusion to the trilogy of titles thus far released on the PS3. The game starts with a run down on events from the previous games by the universe's greatest hero Captain Quark ... Read Full Review

Dead Rising
A B movie Zombie fans heaven stored on a disc.
Every so often, a game comes along with a concept that doesn't seem like it can go wrong. Capcom has pulled that off with a great combination of genres from RPG elements to action, and free roaming to make the closest tr... Read Full Review

BioShock
A wonder in imagination and atmosphere, if you are looking for a great ride, look no further.
Bioshock is a game that kind of came out of nowhere from a company I hadn't heard of, who had made games way off my radar. So needless to say when I bought it I had no idea what to expect. So let me get this out of th... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
A great game that expands upon the world of Ivalice for those that want more.
Final Fantasy XII was a great surprise to me, I had gone into the game with such great skepticism in regards to the battle system i was really shocked when it blew me away in the amount of customization options that i co... Read Full Review

Darksiders
A great mix of action and adventure makes Darksiders a thoroughly enjoyable post apocalyptic experience.
Mixing genres, by now in the game industry this is nothing new. Shooters and RPGs, strategy and shooter, RPG and action, they have all been done on a more and more regular basis. Genres are not quite as easily defined as... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIII is a lush beauty that suffers character flaws.
Each Final Fantasy game has an immense challenge to live up to upon it's release, living up to the quality of those that have come before it. When a gaming series has hit thirteen numbered releases not including dozens o... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy XII
New gameplay for an old series. A sure step in the right direction.
Final Fantasy XII is the last of an era, and yet the start of something new. It is the last of the Final Fantasy series to appear on the PS2 platform, yet it plays like no other before it. This combination had left me sc... Read Full Review

Infinite Undiscovery
Infinite Undiscovery, like it's name, is a confused mess.

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
A humour filled sci-fi platforming romp with some whacky characters make this game a sure winner.

Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment
11 years is a long time to wait for a sequel, but a decent if not innovative, installment to the Vandal Hearts name.
Strategy RPG's are somewhat of a niche genre, even many avid RPG players don't play them and if they do it tends to be only those that have big names or are lucky enough to have burst through. The Vandal Hearts series ar... Read Full Review

Condemned: Criminal Origins
Condemned is a surreal and intense first person survival horror game that excels in it's heart thumping atmosphere.
Monolith has developed some great first person shooter games over the years. Ranging from hits like Blood to Alien vs. Predator 2 to the spectacular FEAR. But never has it tried anything quite like Condemned. Condemne... Read Full Review

Heavenly Sword
Heavenly Sword is a fun, style filled action packed martial arts sword ballet that is just too short for it's own good.
Heavenly Sword is a game that is all about style. Full of high flying acrobatics and great looking graphics it had certainly made an impression on me when first announced, and while a good game I can't help but feel disa... Read Full Review

Enchanted Arms

Resistance: Fall of Man
A great looking title that takes the best aspects of what fps titles have to offer in one neat package.
First person shooters are a dime a dozen these days, and making a game that stands out above the crowd is getting harder and harder with so many other teams attempting the same. Innsomniac Games seems to have taken a dif... Read Full Review

Ninety-Nine Nights
N3 is a potentially good game that has a very rushed feel. The game just doesn't seem finished.
A word of warning to those interested in Ninety-Nine Nights. The game is pure hack-and-slash. If you frowned at the last sentence, I'd suggest clicking the back button and going on your merry way. There's nothing I can s... Read Full Review

Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution
Addictive fun perfectly straddling the line between the depth of the originals and a quick fix pick up and play.

Wild ARMs: Crossfire
Unbalanced fights make Wild Arms XF an unfortunately frustrating trial and error experience.
I like games that have a challenge. Games that test my skills yet are still fair within the games own design. Wild Arms XF however simply fails in balancing these issues to the point that by about the 4th or 5th story ba... Read Full Review

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

Captain America: Super Soldier
Captain America's combat system manages to outweigh it's other issues to provide a fairly fun experience.

My respects to Rare, for reminding us of the dreams from our childhood, gone but not forgotten.

While a good game, Mass Effect 3 is a shadow of it's predecessors.

A classic RPG who's slow pacing will only really appeal to old school players.

Not as good as it's predecessor but this budget game is still packed with explosive, yet mindless enjoyment.
