    Mortal Kombat

    Lots to do, a solid fighting engine - Mortal Kombat is back

    I go back a long ways with Mortal Kombat. I remember playing the first one around the same time Street Fighter 2 hit the arcades. I used to go to a local 7-11 to play both, depending on which friends were with me. The tw... Read Full Review

    Decent mechanics and an odd pairing make for a okay game at a low price if you find it, but fun is short-lived

    Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

    Decent mechanics and an odd pairing make for a okay game at a low price if you find it, but fun is short-lived

    Not the Mortal Kombat you were expecting? Well, I'm still trying to get a bit more online in (barely got any before the PSN went crazy last week and weekend). But, I had picked this game up fairly cheaply awhile back (li... Read Full Review

    Fallout: New Vegas

    There's a good game in here, but it's burried under technical issues that are impossible for me to ignore

    I've been let down by a couple of games recently due to bugs. We borrowed Fable 3 from a friend, and I just could not get into it the way I could Fable 2. I'm going to give it another go soon and try to play it, hoping t... Read Full Review

    Metroid: Other M

    It's a whole new take on Metroid - with agile combat, story-driven content and beautiful gracphis and music

    I have always been a bit 'late' to the Metroid games. I didn't play the first one for the NES until the 'surprise' that Samus was a female was old news by a year or two. I never completed the SNES or Gameboy versions, pl... Read Full Review

    Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

    Classic gaming with a visual and gameplay facelift.

    I've had this game for a while now. I actually picked it up one night on a whim because my wife enjoys retro games more than most of the current ones out there. She played it for about two hours and has played it a few t... Read Full Review

    Magic: The Gathering - Tactics

    I had high hopes going into this, and while it delivered some fun, it also delivered plenty of frustration as well.

    This is an interesting one - I only discovered this game due to an ad actually on my blog at one time. For those who follow my blog, you no doubt noticed I had a string of reviews involving collectible card game titles. ... Read Full Review

    Dragon Age Legends

    A bit more substance to this tie-in than I expected going into it.

    This will be a pretty light game review, but amidst all of these Dragon Age reviews over the last few days, I decided I would review Dragon Age Legends as well. What is Dragon Age Legends? Well, it's a Facebook game of a... Read Full Review

    I don't know if I enjoy it overall quite as much as the original, but lots of improvements and replay to be had here.

    Dragon Age II

    I don't know if I enjoy it overall quite as much as the original, but lots of improvements and replay to be had here.

    The last couple of days, I've gone over what I consider the first 2 entries to the series, though I suppose Awakening could be seen as Dragon Age 1.5. There was a lot to like about the Origins games, and I will admit I w... Read Full Review

    Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening

    If you loved Dragon Age: Origins, this will entertain you. However, be warned - it's more of the same overall.

    Dragon Age: Origins was one of my favorite games when it came out. The game presented a huge, detailed world with plenty of lore and branching story line based on choices your character made. There was a good deal of rep... Read Full Review

    Dragon Age: Origins

    A deep game that puts Role-play into every aspect of the game.

    When this game was first announced, I was very excited. Bioware has a great rpg pedigree, ranging from Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic back in 2003, Jade Empire back in 2005, Neverwinter Nights, which was my first ... Read Full Review

    Marvel vs. Capcom 2

    Fast fighting, tons of characters, good modes and a discounted price make up for the age that graphics and sound show.

    Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is a game I got a lot of mileage out of in the past. I had the Dreamcast version and I played the crap out of it. I spent countless hours tweaking favorite teams, killer combos and learning how to u... Read Full Review

    Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

    Lots of characters and great controls make this over-the-top fighting game a blast.

    So, I did something just a bit out of character and picked up a brand new game on release day. That doesn't happen often. Usually I try to be a bit more frugal with my purchases and wait until they're used at Gamestop ... Read Full Review

    Good fun, good memories came wih it - everything is fast and enjoyable though it does lack depth

    EA Sports did not get around to releasing its "EA Elite" basketball series (based off of its longstanding "Live" series) this year. For the last several years, 2K sports has been releasing an NBA series that has been re... Read Full Review

    It's football, and it's decent football, but there are some lacking features that make it hard to recommend

    Bonus post this weekend. I reviewed an older football game, because I had already reviewed Madden 11 earlier in the season and wanted something football themed. Then, I sat down with my wife's iPad and remembered that ... Read Full Review

    A solid if unspectacular game of non-NFL football.

    This is a big weekend in football, wouldn't you say? I already had my Madden review a few months back though, so I had to dig around for something else. I'm stretching here, but what the heck: All-Pro Football 2K8 was ... Read Full Review

    A simple-looking game, this one really surprised me with its lightweight feel but addicting strategy.

    Honestly - I did not set out to review nothing but card based video games this month. Then again, it does give me a chance to compare and contrast them while they are all fresh in my mind. For Christmas I got a new com... Read Full Review

    Mario Party 8

    Mario party 8 - is it any fun? some... but not as much as it should be.

    Mario Party was a great game when it first came out. It has all of the trimmings of a great kid-oriented game, and it certainly appeals to that audience too. But I remember our neighbor and one of our other friends, ba... Read Full Review

    Dead Space

    Probably one of the best horror games I have ever played.

    I have a soft spot for horror. Horror movies, horror stories and yes - horror games. Horror obviously comes in a lot of different shapes and sizes, whether it's a 'killer car' in a Stephen King novel, or a chainsaw wie... Read Full Review
