Far Cry Instincts

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Dec 17, 2006 | XBOX

Ahhh, a good, rather easy FPS to play, with great mutliplayer and map editor.

Far Cry: Instincts, in my opinion, is one of the best FPS games to come out on the Xbox, with the exception of Halo and a few others. The gameplay is great, with some innovative elements added in for addictive gamepla... Read Full Review

Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Dec 09, 2006 | XBOX

Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, underappreciated, underrated, not given the praise it deserves.

This game takes a great story, inventive powers, and a very cool concept and combines them with a bit of puzzle solving. That is Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy in a nutshell. You fight with Pyrokinesis, Telekinesis,... Read Full Review

The Punisher

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Dec 09, 2006 | XBOX

The Punisher dosen't get the credit it deserves...

The Punisher is a great game, but sadly has only a little replay value due to lack of game content, you can unlock cheats, comic book covers, etc... But who wants to? You can enter V Pirate for that crap... Especially... Read Full Review

Halo (Xbox Collection)

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Dec 08, 2006 | XBOX

Halo: Combat Evolved is a must have game for any Xbox owner and an first person shooter fanatic like me...

The game that got me started on Xbox! Stunning gameplay, brilliant multiplayer, kickass soundtrack, beautiful graphics, in depth storyline, this game has it all. The campaign is so good, I can't find even the tiniest ... Read Full Review

Guitar Hero World Tour

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Nov 01, 2008 | X360

So I suppose Neversoft said, "Hey, let's take everything GOOD from GHIII out of this game, just for kicks!

And by everything good, I mean that calling this a Rock Band clone would be actually calling it a good game. The few things they did well, they did really well. Jimi Hendrix having two on-disc songs and at least three... Read Full Review

Red Dead Redemption

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Jun 15, 2010 | X360

If you don't mind a few minor glitches and control problems bug you, you'll have plenty of fun with Red Dead Redemption.

Red Dead Redemption takes place in the dying days of the Wild West, and you assume the role of EX-outlaw John Marston. You must kill or capture the member of your former posse for the sake of your wife and son. Story ... Read Full Review

Stranglehold

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Sep 22, 2007 | X360

Stranglehold is a great game, if you get it for cheap that is. It's missing the Max Payne-ness I expected it to have.

Stranglehold is the spiritual stepchild of Psi-Ops, which is one reason I bought it. Another reason is that after playing the demo a few times through, I thought it would have a Max Payne style feel to the overall gamepl... Read Full Review

Rock Band 2

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Sep 21, 2008 | X360

Great party game and more fun than Guitar Hero, buy this AND Rock Band 1 to get the full experience.

(Disclaimer: FYI, I'm a guitarist, so this review is from a guitar players POV.) See, I compare how fun a game is to Halo 3. If we, in my group of friends, play a game almost as much as Halo 3, it's considered a addic... Read Full Review

BioShock

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Aug 25, 2007 | X360

In an underwater world, where FPS meets RPG meets Survival Horror, only great things can happen.

I love Bioshock, let me start out by saying that. I'm playing through it Call of Duty style, meaning I beat the game on Easy and I'm going back to play on Hard for the last achievements (I have ten left I need). This ... Read Full Review

Dante's Inferno: Shinkyoku Jigoku-Hen

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Jun 15, 2010 | X360

The question at hand is; does the epic poem make an epic game? Short answer...no. Long answer...

First off I would like to assert my stance as a Microsoft fanboy so I have not had the pleasure of running around with everyone's favorite tragic anti-hero Kratos. This being said, this game still seemed familiar. I c... Read Full Review

Max Payne

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Aug 06, 2007 | XBOX

Max Payne is a classic shooter worth playing just for the bullet time, John Woo inspired action.

I am a small time Punisher fan, my favorite Mortal Kombat is Scorpion, so it's no wonder why I liked Max Payne's story. You are a cop, living in the Jersey suburbs with your wife and baby daughter. You come home one d... Read Full Review

Halo 3: ODST

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Nov 15, 2009 | X360

Halo 3 ODST tries to stand by Halo 3 as an equal, but comes off as more of a cash-in than a strong expansion of Halo 3.

Halo 3 was a big game. I mean, you know you have a major franchise when you have brands of Mountain Dew named after your game...so how well could an expansion to said game follow in its predecessor's footsteps? The an... Read Full Review

Mortal Kombat: Deception

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Jun 19, 2007 | XBOX

This is a 'post-Armageddon' review, best 3D Mortal Kombat so far. By far.<br /> Armageddon can't even hold a candle to

Fatality. This game was and still is, the best of the second-generation, 3D Mortal Kombat games. By far better than shallow Armageddon. The Arcade mode was actually hard back in these days. Well, on the upper diffi... Read Full Review

Ninja Gaiden II

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Jun 06, 2008 | X360

Blood and gore don't compensate for bugs and camera issues, sadly, or NGII might have been as good as the original.

I've been heavily awaiting this game since it was announced, but on June 3rd, I picked up another action game. This isn't Ninja Gaiden... I started this game's first chapter and slipped back into my NG style pretty qu... Read Full Review

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Mar 30, 2008 | X360

I picked up the demo on the XBL Marketplace expecting a crappy game, boy was I wrong, instead I found a good party game.

I started playing Guitar Hero after playing the Guitar Hero III demo on the Xbox Live Marketplace came out. I went in to it thinking, 'Haha, I'm gonna hate this stupid crap...' But no, I started having a lot of fun. A fe... Read Full Review

Halo 3

By Flame-Sama | Review Date: Mar 30, 2008 | X360

Halo 3 is all you would expect from Bungie and perhaps a little bit more. It should make you say 'Bioshock who'?

I'm a honest game reviewer. I never should rate a game as a ten becasue no game is perfect, though Halo 3 on Gamespot's old system would score a 9.8 or 9.9, so I rounded it to a perfect ten. The gameplay is almost tot... Read Full Review
