    Far Cry 2 is a game of meaningless choices.

    Far Cry 2

    Far Cry 2 is a game of meaningless choices.

    The original Far Cry was a linear, mission-based FPS with wide-open levels allowing for a surprising amount of freedom in tackling each challenge. Far Cry 2 is a true open-world game designed around an FPS with surprisi... Read Full Review

    COD in name only.

    Call of Duty: World at War

    COD in name only.

    The Call of Duty series was first developed by the studio Infinity Ward and brought us a tightly paced, exciting FPS set in world war 2. Though the first two games were excellent by any standards, even then the WW2 sett... Read Full Review

    The game that plays itself.

    Final Fantasy XII

    The game that plays itself.

    Japanese console RPGs are well known for their various degrees of random, menu-driven combat. But they are also always trying new ways to engage the player and tinker with the formula, with systems that allow greater ta... Read Full Review

    This game will flip out and kill you, but it is not totally sweet.

    Ninja Gaiden II

    This game will flip out and kill you, but it is not totally sweet.

    Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox was a revival of old school videogame sensibilities; the old NES idea that games should be nigh-on impossible. It took the extreme combat subgenre popularized by Devil May Cry and took it up ab... Read Full Review

    A good game with some issues.

    Crysis

    A good game with some issues.

    Crysis was released to much fanfare and anticipation, heralding in a new age of cutting edge graphics and innovative gameplay for the PC. While the game sold decently enough, it didn't prove to be the smash hit the deve... Read Full Review

    (Not much) more of the same.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

    (Not much) more of the same.

    Yeah... Modern Warfare 2, or hereafter MW2, is quite a game. On the one hand you have ten ****loads of hype, a host of angry PC gamers, and a dash of controversy. On the other hand you have a competent FPS game with so... Read Full Review

    A very well-made mediocre game.

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

    A very well-made mediocre game.

    Did you ever wonder what would happen if the former designer of Oblivion teamed up with a premiere fantasy writer, a has-been comic book artist, a retired Major League Baseball player, and made a videogame? Well I know ... Read Full Review

    A review by someone with no prior Rainbow Six experience.

    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2

    A review by someone with no prior Rainbow Six experience.

    I've never much liked Tom Clancy's version of 'tactical' shooters. Mainly this is because I already (according to my girlfriend, family, and the mailman) spend an abominable amount of time playing videogames as it is, a... Read Full Review

    With so many Zelda games, one of them was going to suck eventually.

    The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

    With so many Zelda games, one of them was going to suck eventually.

    The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was billed as a return to form for the series; devoid of the novel art style or uniqe gameplay mechanics which made Wind Waker so great. The development history was troubled, with ... Read Full Review
