    The Marcus Fenix trilogy ends on a high, though not perfect, note.

    Gears of War 3

    By DumperPumper | Review Date: Feb 10, 2012 | X360

    The Marcus Fenix trilogy ends on a high, though not perfect, note.

    The best graphics and gameplay in the series with a story that finally answers more questions than it asks. I applaud Epic for not jerking us around with an open-ended finale (God of War anyone?). The classic Gears g... Read Full Review

    Wonderful. Mario games still achieve a level of fun no other games can match.

    Super Mario 3D Land

    By DumperPumper | Review Date: Feb 09, 2012 | 3DS

    Wonderful. Mario games still achieve a level of fun no other games can match.

    Just one more level. I just want to pass one more level before I go to bed. It's 4 in the morning and I've been saying that for 5 hours, but this time I really mean it. I'm not sure Super Mario 3D Land was the best ... Read Full Review

    The same, but different. Still, not quite as good as Sam Dimas High School football.

    The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

    By DumperPumper | Review Date: Feb 09, 2012 | WII

    The same, but different. Still, not quite as good as Sam Dimas High School football.

    It's hard to objectively rate a game like Skyward Sword when the mind invariably wants to compare it to its predecessors -- some of which are legendary games. Do I rate the game based on its objective qualities or succu... Read Full Review

    Naughty Dog is getting dangerously close to forgetting their making games and not movies. This game needed more polish.

    Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

    By DumperPumper | Review Date: Feb 08, 2012 | PS3

    Naughty Dog is getting dangerously close to forgetting their making games and not movies. This game needed more polish.

    Not nearly as good as Uncharted 2. Enemy encounters often feel cheap, suggesting the game wasn't as finely tuned as U2. Paradoxically, the game seems easier than previous installments in the series. The story is a bit... Read Full Review

    Adds the non-linearity missing from the first, but to what end? The story is a catastrophe. Close, but no cigar.

    Final Fantasy XIII-2

    By DumperPumper | Review Date: Feb 08, 2012 | PS3

    Adds the non-linearity missing from the first, but to what end? The story is a catastrophe. Close, but no cigar.

    After playing FFXIII-2, I'm torn. I feel like I should have enjoyed this game far more than its predecessor, but I'm not sure I actually did. Yes, there is openness and exploration (albeit through time instead of a con... Read Full Review

    Uncharted: Golden Abyss is like getting peed on in the shower. Anywhere else it might not work. Here? It's glorious.

    I seem to have been banned from posting comments on this website. I find that preposterous and outrageous and outlandish and a gross miscarriage of justice. I contribute a significant amount to this website. I don't j... Read Full Review
