Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock

Decent Soundtrack, Below Average Game

GT:WOR is just another expansion pack to all the other Guitar Hero games. Nothing new is added here, except for a laughable "plot" that's poorly presented and ridiculously performed. Starting with the non skippable intr... Read Full Review

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Mature, Gorgeous, Challenging – Bioware take note - this is everything an action RPG should be

Pros: Mature storyline in a fully realized world with believable factions and motivations. NPCs behave realistically – they show fear, anger, and disappointment. It's a bleak world without the stereotypical lovable ch... Read Full Review

Michael Jackson The Experience

Great setlist and production values, but nowhere near as fun as as Dance Central.

MJTE for the Kinect makes a decent initial impression. Production values are high and the music is as familiar and timeless as ever. It does a complete scan of your body in a detail I haven't seen yet in any Kinect game.... Read Full Review

Test Drive Unlimited 2

TDU2 is a deeply flawed game with a handful of redeeming qualities.

If you're looking for a realistic simulation of car physics in an open world environment, TDU2 falls well short of those goals. To put it simply, this is an arcade racing game with licensed cars. Even on the hardcore sim... Read Full Review

Gran Turismo 5

Poor Design Decisions Make for A Massive Disappointment

Initial Impressions GT5 starts out with more of a whimper than a bang. I've never seen a video game post an epilepsy warning as big as GT5's. The game offers you an initial 8GB install option – I took it and saw 20 mi... Read Full Review

Beautiful Katamari

Same Katamari Game, Huge Difficulty Spike

I picked up this game in my bargain bin recently and as a fan of the wacky Katamari games on the PS2, I was pretty excited to try this out. It's basically the same Katamari game you've played over and over again over ... Read Full Review

AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack

Hardly a game in it's own right, but great if you own RB or RB2

This is a bare bones Rock Band experience, assuming you play it as a stand alone product. The real strength in this release is importing the songs in RB or RB2. You are essentially paying $30+ on an 18 song package, simi... Read Full Review

EyePet: Move Edition

Good Idea Ruined by Calibration Issues

While Eyepet Move edition seems to have alot going for it, the sad fact is that it's simply not a very good experience. The game tries to create an attachment between your virtual pet and yourself, but horrific calibr... Read Full Review

Minecraft

Great idea, just needs some direction

So, I've made a couple of bases, and mined them as deep as I can to find the "good stuff". Built staircases down and fashioned several mine shafts off the main stairs. Discovered a few deep caverns, avoided some lava flo... Read Full Review

Spore

Terrible DRM + Shallow Gameplay + No Replay Value = Huge Disappointment

Spore is a huge disappointment. It was great fun for the first couple of hours. The game has five stages, each one slightly more complicated than the last. All stages are very easy for anyone with RTS gaming experience, ... Read Full Review

MAG

Good ideas marred by frustrating, flawed execution

As a Modern Warfare 2 veteran, I was excited for MAG. Larger maps, different classes, more players, complicated objectives, all wrapped up in squad based teamwork controlled by a veteran officer. It sounds really good on... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Republic Commando

Finally, Back to Fantastic Lucasarts Gaming!

Republic Commando is a highly enjoyable FPS with excellent graphics and a wonderful feeling of immersion. Not since Half Life 2 or Freedom Fighters have I felt this involved with the character, mission, and gameplay. ... Read Full Review

Gran Turismo 4

Your skill level determines your fun level

I purposely waited until I was over 50% complete in the game to write my review of it. Please check other reviews for rants and/or raves regarding graphics, sound accuracy, the terrible autosave "feature", etc - I just w... Read Full Review

Scene It? Bright Lights! Big Screen!

A Step Backwards for the Series

The latest Scene It is a major step backwards in the otherwise great movie trivia party game series. From the lack of avatar support, grating announcer, frequent video clip repeats, and unpolished presentation, this game... Read Full Review

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War

Uninspired and an ultimately disappointing sequel to AC4

The latest Ace Combat game borrows heavily from Ace Combat 4 - way too heavily. It should have been named Ace Combat 4.5. There's just not enough improvements or excitement in the story to fork out another $50 for this s... Read Full Review

The Guy Game

Awful drek and a lame waste of time

I can't imagine why Gamespot gave this game as good of a review as they did. It's awful and a waste of money, or a waste of a rental. Fortunately, the game is going to be pulled from stores due to a lawsuit stemming from... Read Full Review

Sid Meier's Pirates!

Addictive, but ultimately repetivie

The Pros: Addictive gameplay. You start out with a clean slate, able to persue whatever pirating dreams you might have. Whether they're trading, sinking ships, or gaining faction with any or all nations. The game worl... Read Full Review

Kingdom Hearts II

Shallow gameplay and incomprehensible plot

As an adult fan of the original Kingdom Hearts, I had high hopes for the sequel. Unfortunately, after many hours of playing I simply can't recommend this game to anyone who wants more for their $50 than an easy button ma... Read Full Review

Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided

Decided to give it another try - and it's still a poor MMO

After a 9 month hiatus from SWG I decided to reinstall it and give the game another try. Now that the expansion is out, I thought that it might be worth it for me to get my character up to a respectible rank and buy the ... Read Full Review

Forza Motorsport 3

Fantastic Game, Plagued by Flawed Design Decisions

Forza 3 is a great racing game. The Gamespot review has already highlighted all the good parts of the game, and I readily agree with all of them. Car selection is great, graphics are amazing, gameplay and career mode is ... Read Full Review

Killzone

Overhyped and overrated - and a thoroughly average gaming experience

After reading months of speculation about this game and finally giving it a try I must say I'm completely and totally underwhelmed. Nothing prepared me for the hype and fascination that seemingly everyone else had for th... Read Full Review

Classic NES Series: Dr. Mario

Classic game, awful value

Ahh, I remember the first time I played Dr. Mario. Spent all night drinking beer and challenging my friends on the old NES. It was so refreshing to play a competitive Tetris like game that wasn't Tetris. Now, it's 14 ... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

More of the same, showing it's age, but still fun

GTA:SA is yet another revision of the now aging GTA franchise. For a ruindown of all the new features and options check out all the other reviews, as this user review is geared towards existing fans of the existing GTA g... Read Full Review

Classic NES Series: Castlevania

Decent port, lousy value

I have to agree with everything on the Gamespot review except for their justification of the $19.99 price tag. This is the exact same game which we all played hundreds and hundreds of times back in 1990. The review prais... Read Full Review

Katamari Damacy

Quirky, fun, and different - in a good and bad sense

This is just a quick, basic review - check the other reviews or the Gamespot.com review for a good summary of the gameplay. Graphics are poor, and blocky, but that could be lumped into the old "quirky" category, which... Read Full Review
