Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends

Overlord

NASCAR 09

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway

Two Worlds

Trine

Quite addictive and an absolutely beautiful game

I saw some complaints in the Gamespot review and for me, they just werent there. I truly enjoyed this one, and in fact, I am still enjoying round two. Graphics - Absolutely stunning and the attention to detail is amaz... Read Full Review

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

Yet another rotten sequel to spoil the fun

I am editing my original review, to say that the game does gert better. After a lack of anything else to play, I finished the game, and it did jump up a few point, barely. Graphics - Five years ago...maybe, just maybe... Read Full Review

Virtua Tennis 2009

Quite possibly the worst follow up to a sports game that I have ever seen.

I actually like the previous version of this game, and was excited about 2009 coming out (so much in fact I actually pre-ordered it). Boy was I in for a surprise... Graphics - Besides pictures of the players, very ver... Read Full Review

Prototype (2009)

Combine a bit of Mirror's Edge, Assassin's Creed, Spiderman, and maybe a little Grand Theft Auto, and you have Prototype

Graphics - Nicely done and quite detailed. For an open ended title with limitless places to go, its hard to hide glitches and flaws, and this game had few of either. The character and creatures were standard issue, but i... Read Full Review

Overlord II

Started out fun, then the repetition set in and it was game over for me.

What began as a promising game soon turned into a 20+ hour romp in the world of de ja vu all over again. Graphics - Well done but a bit to cartoon-ish for me. The environments were highly detailed and well designed. I... Read Full Review

Fight Night Round 4

Legacy single player mode review

This review is about the single player "Legacy" (career) mode of the game, NOT multiplayer, and NOT regular boxing, but just legacy. And let me say out of the gate, feel free to rant back at me and spam me with your c... Read Full Review

Resident Evil 5

Topping previous RE games is tough...to tough in this case

As a huge fan of this series I was expecting pure brilliance, and I was a bit let down. I had the pleasure of attending the launch party for RE5 and with all the hype and the bit of gameplay that I was able to gather ... Read Full Review

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena

No where near as good as the first...but not bad

After Butcher Bay I was really hoping for a game that would hold true to the series, but I was truly let down. Graphics - About standard...Environments were nice, but it would have been nicer to have things to blow up... Read Full Review

Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor

More of the same, less of the good stuff...

Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts was one of my favorite games of the year, and I had high hopes for the follow up...hopes that were soon gone and tout the door. Graphics - Well, pretty much the same, which can be exp... Read Full Review

Cryostasis

Using the heat from a light bulb to gain health...come on...

This game started out bad, got worse, and then got slightly better. Graphics - Can you say PS2 level...I was absolutely blown away at the absolute lack of detail. Sure the water and some environments were ok, but char... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's HAWX

If your a fan of this genre, probably a must have.

I admit that flying games are not my forte, and that for all intents and purposes I suck at them. Regardless of those two facts, this game was still fun. Graphics - Very nicely done, no crashes, no issues running full... Read Full Review

Wanted: Weapons of Fate

This game had potential, to bad it didnt take the time to show it...

The combat tactics of this game gave it some real potential, and it flowed well...but it was horribly short Graphics - Above average, but I cant speak about its limits, because there was a major lack of any tweaking i... Read Full Review

Grand Ages: Rome

Baby sitting, Roman Style...

Despite the lack of semi-decent graphics, and despite the lack of intuitive controls, and even despite the lack of a really poor storyline, I was still hoping for something to pass the time....not so much. Because whatev... Read Full Review

Men of War

Wow, can I just say….ahhhh "very hard" or "really really long" and be done with it?

I started off hating this game, but once I got the hang of it, I was bordering on addiction. Taking two days to finish a level with nothing but a sniper…no tanks, no aerial assult etc., doesn't sound like to much fun rig... Read Full Review

Drakensang: The Dark Eye

I tried...I really did...but no go

RPG games can often take time to develop and become fun right? So I gave this game over 20 hrs and still found nothing worthwhile. Killing rats is an old standard for starting off a standard RPG...but after 10 hrs of ... Read Full Review

BlackSite: Area 51

There are a lot of games out there that get more praise than they deserve...this game should get some that it didnt.

Sure BlackSite Area 51 was nothing ground breaking, and sure the graphics and voice acting were decent at best, but it was one thing...simple, basic, and just plain fun. Graphics - Standard, simple, no issue, no glitc... Read Full Review

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

Some things just dont get better with age, including psychotic 14 year old female game characters...

What will go down in my book as one of the greatest genre breaking games of all time, the orginal F.E.A.R ranks up there with the Dooms, Quakes, and Half-Life's of the gaming world in that it brought things to a new leve... Read Full Review

Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts

Nothing to write home about, but worth the trip.

As a big fan of the first game I was hoping for some major changes, and or , upgrades. What I found was a basic copy of the last game with a few new twists and turns. Thats definitely not a bad thing, just not what I had... Read Full Review

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

WIth "6" and "Boomer" its a heck of a start!

I was never a big fan of this series so I waited for the price to drop a bit and made the move. I was glad I did, but I hope that the next game addresses a few issues that I personally had. Graphics - Well done, clean... Read Full Review

Crysis

Starts with a bang...ends with a bomb

With all the hype surrounding this game and the fact that every review I have done has had some reference to "...until Crysis comes out," I was expecting bleeding edge gameplay. I got it...but only in short glimpses. ... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Originality at its best!

Went into this game thinking it was just going to be more of the same. Much to my surprise I found some very original and new concepts for the genre. Game of the year....enough said. Not only were the graphics spect... Read Full Review

Tomb Raider: Underworld

How this game was snubbed for any 2008 game of the year awards is beyond me.

I didnt give Tomb Raider Underworld a 10 because it did something wrong, I didnt give it a perfect 10 because it was simply just missing a few things. In simple terms, if your a Tomb Raider series fan, this go around ... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: World at War

Yawn….aside from some clever level design, and a decent storyline, this version of COD was just a standard FPS.

Graphics – Nice, in fact, some of the environments were quite nice. But as for physics, and destructible environments…not so much. So from a visual, and overall feel, the game was well done, but from a fun, lets just blo... Read Full Review

007: Quantum of Solace

Bond = Boring in Quantum of Solace

With fond memories still intact of the original Bond games, I was highly anticipating a fantastic experience. What I got was merely a generic FPS with some fancy Movie title, and boring gameplay. Graphics - Huh? ...th... Read Full Review

Fallout 3

Fantastic open ended gameplay

At this point I am sure that everyone has already given details about Fallout 3, so I will cut it short and just give my two cents. Graphics - Strong, but not revolutionary. Scenes and backdrops makes the game, and th... Read Full Review

F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate

It just doesnt get old

Again a review from Gamespot that I have to really question...Sure, this game is nothing new, but its one of the greatest FPS of all time so how bad can it be?? I wasnt expecting to start this game and see a complete ... Read Full Review

Battlestar Galactica

Asteriods anyone?

Wow, dont think I can type enough charcaters to fit the minimun requirement ...this game is just plain embarrassing and might have been fun back in 1990. Not really sure what they were trying to pull off here, other than... Read Full Review

Portal

Great job of using the current technology to try something new.

I looked at this game as an extended level of HL2. Same engine, same look and feel, and same weapon, made the controls feel right at home. Graphics - Very nice, and no crashes running maxed out at 1920X1080. Not to mu... Read Full Review

TimeShift (2007)

What is gamespot smoking!?

If it wasnt for the user reviews I would never have bought this game. Gamespot is literally out of their mind on this one. Just the graphics alone put it at an 8. The physics raise it to an 8.5, and so on.... These gr... Read Full Review

The Settlers: Rise of an Empire

Not bad....while it lasted

This RTS is about as generic and straight forward as you can get, but still managed to be fun....while it lasted. Graphics - Very nice for the genre, and the cutscenes were done well. Very detailed and well thought ou... Read Full Review

Stranglehold

Is it over yet??

That statement pretty much summarizes the game for me...I kept asking myself, "Is it over yet" and hoping the answer would be yes. Graphics- It was as if they had an entire team of designers and 1 guy who wa... Read Full Review

NASCAR 09

Hurray for custom built cars!

Right out of the gate...this game gets major kudos from me for allowing custom skins to be created for custom cars. I enjoyed creating the cars as much, if not more than the game itself. Graphics - Well done, tight, a... Read Full Review

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (Limited Edition)

The storyline is the best part of this game...

Been there done that is a perfect way to describe this game. Standard FPS, but the storyline makes the game. Graphics- Standard, Unreal Engine game with nothing groundbreaking. Game gets a bonus for zero issues...no c... Read Full Review

World in Conflict (Collector's Edition)

Save Seattle, save the world!

When I heard Alec Baldwin was doing the voice over for this game I figured he was just hard up for money. 20 minutes after playing it I realized he probably jumped on it because of the fantastic storyline. Graphics - ... Read Full Review
