    Good game with a great plot and some fixable, albeit significant problems.

    Mass Effect

    Good game with a great plot and some fixable, albeit significant problems.

    For those of you who don't know, Bioware basically makes awesome plots. They're a rarity in making not one, but TWO successful AND fun Star Wars titles, but that's neither here nor there. Mass Effect, as the review de... Read Full Review

    A gorgeous return to 2-D fighting, but I'll be damned if this game's difficulty isn't blistering.

    Street Fighter IV

    A gorgeous return to 2-D fighting, but I'll be damned if this game's difficulty isn't blistering.

    So, as the deck mentioned, this game looks and plays great. Very fluid animation, great character models, and great backgrounds all make for a very pretty experience. The controls are great too, so this pretty game also ... Read Full Review

    Even if you're a major Metallica fan, be wary of this title.

    Guitar Hero: Metallica

    Even if you're a major Metallica fan, be wary of this title.

    I like to consider myself a pretty big fan of Metallica. I basically like everything that isn't St. Anger or Death Magnetic. Hell, Hero of the Day and Wherever I May Roam (go in-game!) are two of my favorite songs. That ... Read Full Review

    Better than GTA? In some ways, sure.

    Saints Row 2 (Collector's Edition)

    Better than GTA? In some ways, sure.

    The Saint's Row series often gets passed off as a cheap GTA clone, and this isn't entirely undeserving. However, it's an AWESOME GTA clone. And because of that, I'll be comparing it mostly to GTAIV, as IMO that's the ... Read Full Review

    Easily one of the, if not, THE single greatest game I've ever played.

    Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Platinum)

    Easily one of the, if not, THE single greatest game I've ever played.

    Just about everyone in the gaming community knows what the Metal Gear Solid series is about. Fans love the immersive storyline and in depth characters, while detractors of the series have affectionately nicknamed the ser... Read Full Review

    This is Guitar Hero IV, and I would like to stress "guitar" as much as possible.

    Guitar Hero World Tour

    This is Guitar Hero IV, and I would like to stress "guitar" as much as possible.

    If you're too lazy to read the entire thing, skip to the last paragraph: The long awaited Guitar Hero: World Tour has arrived. Of course, that was back in October so I'm a little late. Anyway, this is my second review... Read Full Review

    Awesome beginning, great end, but I'll be damned if the middle of the game wasn't mind-numbingly frustrating.

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

    Awesome beginning, great end, but I'll be damned if the middle of the game wasn't mind-numbingly frustrating.

    This game is a treasure for Star Wars nerds, it really is. A great story that fits nicely within the 8 million other canon stories George Lucas and co. have spewed out about a secret apprentice to the evil Darth Vader an... Read Full Review

    Quite possibly the biggest disappointment I've experienced in the world of gaming.

    Assassin's Creed

    Quite possibly the biggest disappointment I've experienced in the world of gaming.

    I loved Prince of Persia: Sands of Time quite a bit. It was an outstanding game. Warrior Within took away from the original, but was a very good game, and Two Thrones improved on WW but never quite relived to the magic o... Read Full Review

    An unchanged sequel to a solid series.

    SoulCalibur IV

    An unchanged sequel to a solid series.

    Soul Calibur IV is nearly identical to the previous Soul Caliburs. Eerily so, in fact. I have a hard time finding myself being interested in this game for more than a couple hours at a time. I mean, it's fun, but I've pl... Read Full Review

    God of War will tear your face off and you'll probably think it's awesome.

    God of War (Greatest Hits)

    God of War will tear your face off and you'll probably think it's awesome.

    God of War is incredible. All around. First of all, it's hard to take a game, weave random elements of Greek mythology, and have you tearing apart hydras with unnecessary brutality and not be awesome. First, we mentio... Read Full Review

    One of the greatest video game narratives of all time.

    Final Fantasy VII

    One of the greatest video game narratives of all time.

    I have only one disagreement with Gamespot's review of this game: "Never before have technology, playability, and narrative combined as well as in Final Fantasy VII." Technology didn't play such a big part in this gam... Read Full Review

    Just a tid worse than Ocarina of Time, which is about the biggest  compliment I could ever give a game.

    The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

    Just a tid worse than Ocarina of Time, which is about the biggest compliment I could ever give a game.

    This review will be short, very short for me. Essentially, Twilight Princess has one of the best, if not the best storyline I have ever played in a Zelda game, longer than any Zelda game ever, has a beautiful presentatio... Read Full Review

    Best of the GTA series, but completely overrated.

    Grand Theft Auto IV

    Best of the GTA series, but completely overrated.

    Grand Theft Auto IV, years of anticipation and excitement. The first step into next-gen, no more silly "GTA: Random Parody City" games, a true sequel to GTA III. Did it disappoint? Not really. Did it live up to the hype?... Read Full Review

    The positive features of Guitar Hero III are marred by overcharting and sloppy presentation.

    Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

    The positive features of Guitar Hero III are marred by overcharting and sloppy presentation.

    Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is a good idea, and WAS a good game, but it was handed over to someone that forgot it was about playing fake guitar. So, where to start? Well, first, I will note that I'll compare just... Read Full Review
