    Missed opportunity.

    Velvet Assassin

    By Fandango_Letho | Review Date: Apr 30, 2009 | X360

    Missed opportunity.

    First of all, i'm trying to be informative. This is also my opinion, and stuff that I may like or dislike could be different for you. Discretion is advised. The game's main protagonist is quite unique and original, al... Read Full Review

    Ninja Blade

    By Fandango_Letho | Review Date: Apr 12, 2009 | X360

    Check your bargain bin.

    First of all, i'm not going to flag this game as a copy of Ninja Gaiden 2. Simply because any game is a direct copy of one from its style. Graphics : The game uses the unreal engine, wich I'm not very fond of. Loads o... Read Full Review

    The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena

    By Fandango_Letho | Review Date: Apr 09, 2009 | X360

    Riddick's back. And he should have stayed at Butcher Bay. Really. Dark Athena's concept was good, until the second part.

    This game is a difficult game to review, since a part of me loves Butcher Bay since 04, and the other is disgusted by Dark Athena. We'll come back to the latter a bit further down the review. - The graphical engine of... Read Full Review

    Killzone 2

    By Fandango_Letho | Review Date: Mar 12, 2009 | PS3

    The graphical wonder of the PS3 is finally here. Is there something else than graphics to this game? Let's see.

    Killzone 2 is out, at last. Oddly enough, all the hype it got was mainly for its graphical aspect. Because, lets face it, Killzone 1 sucked major ass. Yes, it had good weaponry and nice animations, but that was about it.... Read Full Review

    Street Fighter IV

    By Fandango_Letho | Review Date: Feb 23, 2009 | X360

    Street Fighter 4 does nothing to recreate the wheel, but still manages to be one of the most satisfying fighting games.

    I played about twelve hours of SF4 until I hit the massive boredom point where i'm not seeing the reason to play it again in a long time. The game has some shining qualities, and some displeasing flaws. Read on. The g... Read Full Review

    The original FEAR was groundbreaking in its own ways, but FEAR2 sadly gets shattered in many ways.

    Unfortunatly, Afro spends too much time walking around in levels than killing dudes.<br />

    First of all, i'm not a fan of the anime. As a matter of fact, I never watched any episodes so Afro's world is new to me. I bought this game since the graphics looked cool and music inspired by the RZA. Afro Samura... Read Full Review

    Shattered Dimensions is a good game, just not a great one.

    By Fandango_Letho | Review Date: May 04, 2009 | X360

    The new Prince of Persia isn't only a platforming reference, but also a rising masterpiece of a fairy tale.

    Prince of Persia isn't for everyone. Let's make it clear. It's one of those games that some will love, and others will hate. Just like any other '' artisticly driven '' games out there. Remember Okami ? Ico ? Shadow o... Read Full Review

    Dumbed down the SP part of the game to buff MP. Resistance got '' Halo 2'ed ''.

    So I beat the game this morning, under 5 hours and 43 minutes of gameplay. I'm going to concentrate on the single player campaign, and NOT on MP. Why ? Because I didnt like the R1 MP at all. It was too frenetic for me... Read Full Review
