Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie

By Foehammer111 | Review Date: Sep 14, 2006 | X360

Cheap movie tie-in. Don't bother.

I’ll admit that when I got a 360, King Kong was not high on my list of games to play on it. It’s not because I haven’t seen the film, but just because my impression of it made it seem like a cheap cash-in on the movie l... Read Full Review

Texas Hold 'Em

By Foehammer111 | Review Date: Aug 29, 2006 | X360

Microsoft folds.

Poker used to be one of the most popular games in America. Nearly every saloon in the old west had some type of poker game being played. In recent years, Texas Hold ‘Em has seen a surge in popularity. Now the 360 has ... Read Full Review

Dead Rising

By Foehammer111 | Review Date: Aug 15, 2006 | X360

No one throws a zombie killing fest like Capcom does.

Zombies are perhaps one of the most killed enemies in video game history. Capcom wrote the book on zombie games with its Resident Evil games, and now they’re doing it again with Dead Rising. In Dead Rising, you play ... Read Full Review

AstroPop

By Foehammer111 | Review Date: Aug 07, 2006 | X360

Well presented, but otherwise standard puzzle game.

Puzzle games normally don’t interest me. I guess it’s because for me to enjoy a game, it needs to have a beginning, middle, and an end. This is something puzzle games normally lack, and constantly trying to beat a high... Read Full Review

Shadowrun Lite.

The Good: Fast paced, and fun gameplay; nice visual effects; good level design; play against windows vista players. The Bad: Not enough maps or game types; feels unfinished; complete waste of the Shadowrun license. ... Read Full Review

3D Ultra MiniGolf Adventures

By Foehammer111 | Review Date: Jun 04, 2007 | X360

Good idea, but misses par.

The Good: Fun multi-player; unique courses; course creator. The Bad: Odd ball physics; boring single player; too easy; limited options in course creator. 3D Ultra Mini Golf Adventures isn't a game that would norm... Read Full Review

Back the early 90s arcade was king. Street Fighter 2, and Mortal Kombat ruled the lives of many teenagers. Now another legendary game from that era has now become available on XBL: Smash TV. GAMEPLAY Smash TV was ... Read Full Review

Fable: The Lost Chapters

By Foehammer111 | Review Date: Jan 05, 2006 | PC

Most over-hyped, but still one of the best RPG’s of all time.

The expectations for Fable were huge. During development, Lionhead set the bar so high that it couldn’t possibly live up to them all. Despite this, Fable turned out to be one of the best RPGs of the last 5 years. Whil... Read Full Review

Chromehounds

By Foehammer111 | Review Date: Jul 24, 2006 | X360

Boring gameplay, and no singleplayer game holds back a game that could have been great.

Who doesn’t like Mech games? There’s just something about blowing up stuff in a giant robot that’s appealing. I’ve been playing the Battletech tabletop game since the early 90s, and these types of games hold a special ... Read Full Review

Short, but otherwise great modern arcade game.

The Good: Great graphics and visual style. Fun weapons and levels. Co-op is a blast. The Bad: Way too short and easy. Not enough replay value. Live Arcade is one of the best features about the Xbox 360. The a... Read Full Review

Super Paper Mario

By Foehammer111 | Review Date: May 18, 2007 | WII

Hands down, one of the best Mario games of all time.

Does it make me a bad person to say that I've never played any of the Paper Mario or Mario RPG games? I suppose not, but I've probably missed out on some of the best Mario games in the franchise. I recently picked up S... Read Full Review

A worthy follow-up to a classic RPG.
