No More Heroes
Boooooooooring
With a drought of great mature titles on the Wii, I ordered "No More Heroes" with the intent of thoroughly enjoying every moment of this game. I was tired of the Mario games, tired of my daughter's kid's games, and tire... Read Full Review

Rock Band
Best. Music. Game. Ever.
I lamented not getting into games like Guitar Hero for a good year or so, until I saw that Rock Band was getting developed. Full band instrumentation? Check A ton of songs available on the game disk? Yes A ton of ... Read Full Review

Dragon Age: Origins (Collector's Edition)
A good follow-up to Baldur's Gate
I haven't played a RPG like this in years. While this game pales to Baldur's Gate, I found myself unable to turn this game off, regardless of how late into the night I was up. The story is pretty generic-orcs, dragon... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield
Late to the party (2008), but wow!
A great, slow, tactical shooter to counter all of the run and gun games that have saturated the market recently. While I didn't have the patience to create my own plans, I enjoyed using others, analyzing their strateg... Read Full Review

Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening
A decent continuation of the original story and characters. Longer than the DLC but not quite worthy of $40.
I had a good time fighting the darkspawn again, but the addition of the talking darkspawn, architect, mother, and the new slug-like adaptations were dull. The levels were mostly linear, save for a three: black marsh, th... Read Full Review

Red Steel
The scuttlebutt is correct - this game bores.
I'm a sucker for the underdog. I love rooting for the dark horse. So naturally, I wanted to love Red Steel. I would have settled for liking the game. Unfortunately, with a shallow plot reminiscent of an arcade shoote... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: World at War
A retread through World War II
spam. spam spam spam. That's how I would sum up the last Eastern level (against the Japanese); full of grenade spam. It seems like I couldn't stay in cover for more than four seconds before I saw at least one grenade ... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
They tried to evolve a fantastic RTS game and took a wrong turn.
Dawn of War II is a game that I hate playing on principle. While I loved the first Dawn of War, and its numerous expansions, the sequel's gameplay is such a departure from what I enjoyed that I am not seeing this game as... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
Maybe too hard for the casual shooter fan, but enjoyable for its sense of realism.
I put off playing this game because I initially could not get past the beginning of objective 2. Yeah, that's right, 2. The reason for this is I normally play games that I'm only semi-interested in (like this one) on "... Read Full Review

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
A good iteration on the original.
My damage indicator flashes around my sights. I'm taking damage from behind me, to the left of me, and directly in front of me. If I just keep moving, maybe I'll mop the floor with these replica soldiers too. *thirty ... Read Full Review

Borderlands
A great 3d fps loot-whore game.
This game went from "meh" to "interesting" the moment the developers initiated the art style change. From that point on, the more I discovered about this game, the more I was intrigued. The little things really impress... Read Full Review

Plants vs. Zombies
Drop what you're doing and buy this game... right now.
Popcap games are the kings of addictive gameplay: Bejeweled, Peggle, Plants versus Zombies.... that's right, Plants versus Zombies became an instant Popcap classic the moment it was released. The game consists of you... Read Full Review

Neverwinter Nights
Don't buy this game unless you want to use it for D&D games with your friends.
I have given this game chance after chance for a number of years, and have yet to progress beyond the second Act/Chapter/Whatever. This game bores me. Everything about it bores me. The art direction looks like the g... Read Full Review

Dungeon Runners
An average dungeon crawler with little to entice one to keep playing.
But it's free! I don't care. Even free games can get criticized, reviewed, etc. This game is limited, and the enjoyment factor will really only last you a few moments. Sure, 1up's Scott Skarky mentioned the somewha... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm
Overall, this really isn't worth buying unless you feel the need to own EVERY Dawn of War expansion.
The game doesn't really add anything exciting. The single player campaign is so similar to its predacessor, Dark Crusade, that it feels like a re-run. Again, you are placed in a situation where each empire has a few co... Read Full Review

Dear Esther
A decent adventure game in a beautiful setting
I initially discovered this game through the word-of-mouth that comes with reading the drivel produced by internet hipsters. They spoke of this game's atmosphere (which is beautiful and haunting), how different it was (... Read Full Review

Heroes of Might and Magic V (Limited Edition DVD)
There is so much better out there if you're craving turn-based fantasy goodness.
Turn-based map exploration that is very slow: check Turn-based combat: check Turn-based everything else: check (I was surprised just how slow the turns were, even when adjusted). Ugly graphics, low-resolution t... Read Full Review

Dead Space (2008)
A trek through the Ishimura
Closing my eyes, I'm terrified. I hear the sounds of distant voices whispering, the clang of metal coming together, and a squeal as gears grind together. I open my eyes and view a vast, crawling space, which I must cro... Read Full Review

Serious Sam II
Grab it From the Bargain Bin
Taking a hiatus from gaming during the 90s, I never got a chance to play the original Serious Sam. So the days-of-yore shooters like Duke Nukem and Serious Sam (where overly buffed-out heroes nuke entire planets worth o... Read Full Review

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
A unique shooter that shines for being great, and then earns extra-credit for being different.
I remember when a guy in my online gaming guild told us that he needed help beta-testing this foreign game called "Stalker." After a brief discription, we we implored to get our hands on the software. While that oppotu... Read Full Review

PlanetSide
Its greatness can never be expressed with the written language.
I have played since exclusive beta, and cannot imagine not paying my subscription fee. The $13 a month is worth playing against a hundred players alone, much less the anti-cheat measure, continued development, events, et... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
The refinements made here polished out an already great concept.
Bullets whiz by my ears, my squad screams something about not having a good shot, and the Abrahms tank rockets a shell down the street as I stare at my tactical map. "Maybe if I circle my squad around these barrels, kee... Read Full Review

Diablo II
The mother of all hack n' slash loot-whore games
Disclaimer: I just finished playing this game for the first time now, in '09. This game left me feeling ambivalent. The loot whore in me LOVED the great armor and weapon drops, the hack n' slasher in me felt the figh... Read Full Review

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
This may very well be the best game I have ever played. At least since the Baldur's Gate series.
Choices, choices everywhere. The Witcher does nearly everything right, with only a few minor flaws from making this a perfectr game. It has the click-action of Diablo, but with chained attacks if you time your next attac... Read Full Review
