Red Dead Redemption

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly Videogame!

When I heard Red Dead Redemption was being created, my dream of becoming Clint Eastwood was finally about to come true. Fortunately RDR does live up to my expectations. The gameplay is solid and heavily refined from it... Read Full Review

Shadow of the Colossus

Unexpectedly amazing

At first I was nervous about this title when I heard it was basically 13 boss battles. Thankfully I was wrong. The worry that the game wouldn't be long enough or fun enough was completely sidestepped by the unique boss... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed

Amazing story and fluid gameplay create a unique gaming experience.

When I first started this game I was under the pretense that I was going to rush it in order to get to the second game which is considered far superior to the original. Having been told the game was tedious wasn't a lie... Read Full Review

Alpha Protocol

If only Deus Ex Human Revolution and Alpha Protocol could mate and have a child...

What happens when you combine Alpha Protocol, a game with some serious flaws, but with ambitious gameplay and deep RPG dialogue trees with Human Revolution's graphics, story, and budget? You get Deus Ex 3: The Actual Go... Read Full Review

Fallout: New Vegas

A step in the right Fallout direction.

The first thing I knew went right with Fallout New Vegas happened during the first five minutes of gameplay. Players begin the game as a blank slate, leaving you, the player to decide who your character is. No more see... Read Full Review

LIMBO

A perfect unique experience

It seems the most common complaint with this game is that it was too short and the story was too vague without a clear conclusion. Funny how we can spend $10 on a crappy dinner or $15 to watch a 2 hour movie, but a game... Read Full Review

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Perfect Batman game even if you don't like Batman

Batman is probably the only superhero that I enjoy since his abilities are limited to his fun gadgets and detective abilities. I have never seen a game take a franchise and stay so true to its origins as to make me want... Read Full Review

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

A linear FPS with an okay story, but lacking gameplay depth and actual choices.

I've played all three Deus Ex games and I still think the original is the best. While the third installment makes great strides in bringing back the feel and gameplay of the original, in many ways it is worse than the s... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

With so much non stealth additions & removal of some stealth, the game fails to live up to franchise expectations.

I've played every Metal Gear Solid game in the series, including the two originals for the MSX and I feel that ever since Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, the series has jumped the shark. As the saying goes, sometimes too... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy XIV Online

If I wanted to torture myself, I only need to bash my skull against the corner of my desk.

I entered the world of Final Fantasy XIV with pure optimism. I played Final Fantasy XI for a year and a half before I had given up on it because I could never find anybody to party with. FF14 was supposed to fix all of... Read Full Review

Fallout 3

As a predecessor to Oblivion, one excellent game. As a Fallout sequel, trash.

This game improves in pretty much every area that Oblivion lacked. The stat system is no longer broken and you won't find dirt poor hobos attacking you with glass armor. Best yet, the quests are much more interesting t... Read Full Review

Dementium: The Ward

If only Dementium had better controls and gameplay, it could have been a success!

I haven't beaten this game yet and while this may discredit my review, I think I have some good reasons for why I give this game a six out of ten. Dementium: The Ward is Doom 3, Silent hill, and "The Ring" com... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Platinum)

Jumping the Shark. When you realize all the mysteries need answers, but you never actually thought it through.

I've played every game in the Metal Gear Series including the MSX ones and the gameboy Metal Gear and not one game in the series ever disappointed me until MGSIV. I'm used to the long-winded plot, especially the complic... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto IV

One step forward, two steps back.

I've been playing the GTA series since the original for Playstation so I've clearly seen the series develop into a giant. GTAIV is definitely a good game and TakeTwo has made many next-gen improvements. Gameplay-wi... Read Full Review

Lost: Via Domus

Rent only to explore the set pieces of Lost. Even doing this is practically a waste of money.

You know there is a problem with a game when it's completely linear, devoid of any complex combat or enemies, riddled with simple elementry puzzles, and short. You really know there is a problem when you've played a f... Read Full Review

Mass Effect

Play it for the story if nothing else...

Great solid story that is rare in the gaming market. The gameplay takes a little getting used to, but it's really fun once you get the hang of it. My only issue gameplay-wise is that I wish there were more powers ... Read Full Review

Far Cry 2

Destructible Buildings? Nonexistent. Advanced AI? Sub par. Living breathing world? Dead. Half Baked? Totally!

My expectations for this game before it was released is as follows: One large sandbox environment filled with plenty of interesting characters and people to see, nonlinear gameplay, entertaining story, dynamic AI (sho... Read Full Review

LittleBigPlanet 2

A girlfriend-approved game.

To be honest when Little Big Planet was announced for the Playstation 3 it looked weird and obtuse. I didn't really know what to make of it and so I never bothered playing it until after Sony gave me free money to buy g... Read Full Review

Mass Effect 3

I have been trolled.

If Mass Effect 3 were a standalone game, I might have given the game an 8 or 8.5 perhaps, but unfortunately I must consider the other two games in this trilogy in addition to the promises that the developers made to the ... Read Full Review

Journey

A perfect game

I first heard about Journey from a friend who told me not to watch any videos or screenshots and to just buy and play the game. Well I did exactly that and I wasn't disappointed. Journey is a unique adventure puzzle ga... Read Full Review

Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Scariest, most stressful game I have ever played.

I received this game as a gift in March of 2011 and it took me almost a year to finally pick this up and play it. And that was only because I had friends who were willing to sit down and watch me play it so that they co... Read Full Review

Super Meat Boy

I don't usually play platformers, but when I do, I play Super Meat Boy.

I got this game for my birthday almost a year to this date and I just stared at the game, refusing to play it because it's just so damn intimidating. If Amnesia is supposed to be the pinnacle of fear for the survival ho... Read Full Review

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

A lazy pile of fecal matter.

Skyrim is a game I have lots of mixed feelings about. When I first saw the game in action, I was surprised that for once Bethesda made a game that was actually playable and fun without 100+ mods and it looked nice too. ... Read Full Review
