MechAssault

Extremely fun multiplayer, almost cartoonish yet spectacular graphics, easy controls, a lot of playable 'Mechs = great

Although I'm a fan of MechWarrior3 for the PC, and this longawaited transaction into a console version turned out with one primary negative--you cannot customize your 'Mechs--I feel that it still comes out victorious in ... Read Full Review

DOOM 3

Gritty visuals, dark environments, creepy audio, profound plot and superb gameplay make for an excellent FPS horror game

Not enough can be said in favor of Doom3. While I never played the PC version, and didn't play the '90s originals until I just recently bought Doom3: Resurrection of Evil, I became an instantaneous fan of the DOOM univer... Read Full Review

Gears of War

Surprisingly addicting and fun third-person action game, with superior graphics and an intriguing plot; very few flaws

Gears of War is, undoubtedly, one of the best video games ever produced. It utilizes the Xbox 360's magnificent visual and audio qualities to provide excellently detailed tableaus in both cinematics and gameplay, as well... Read Full Review

Colin McRae: DiRT

Great graphics and damage effects, taut gameplay, vast career and achievements make this fun with but a few flaws

In my opinion, DiRT is almost what Resistance was to Gears of War, except to Motor Storm. And yet..it's not. Instead it's just another rally-sport off-road racing game, except elite among all of its predecessors. Here yo... Read Full Review

Burnout Paradise

Spectacular visuals, interesting design, engaging gameplay all comes nearly flawless but not quite

Being a hardcore fan of Burnout 3: Takedown but loathing its predecessors and ensuing Burnout 4: Revenge, I was slightly tentative of purchasing this--despite the superb reviews. Ultimately I decided upon a rental, not d... Read Full Review

Turok

An extraordinarily appealing but frequently aggravating FPS video-game of the modern next-gen graphical console

Turok: Evolution was a typical joy to play on the PS2 for me, so when I heard about a new Turok being released for the 360--using the console's next-gen graphics system, and, of course, being an FPS--I was nothing short ... Read Full Review

BlackSite: Area 51

Good, but not good enough.

Despite its intriguing plot, interesting characters, often comical voice acting, good soundtrack, exceptional weaponry, and considerably graphics BlackSite: Area 51 still feels like a rudimentary PS2 game. Gameplay is... Read Full Review

Counter-Strike: Source

Perhaps the best FPS game of all-time, though of course with some notable but notwithstanding flaws.

CounterStrike:Source, even for an offline gamer such as myself, is an excellent FPS game. It offers a multitude of levels, weaponry, 'skins,' and both hostage rescue and demolition modes. The guns are realistically accur... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Beats Halo 3 tenfold; a short campaign is its only weakness; CoD4 is a knockout FPS game and defeats GRAWF in its genre.

I abhorred Call of Duty and its sequels, but when this fourth installment came along and people wouldn't compare it to its predecessors, I thought "why not, hopefully it'll be worth my rental." It was, by far. Being a ga... Read Full Review

Halo 3

Halo 3: great, but overrated

If you're a big fan of Halo and Halo 2, then be prepared to be amazed by the third--and last--installment in the series involving the Master Chief, his newfound ally the Arbiter and his own comrades the Elites as they ba... Read Full Review

Dark Sector

DarkSector reigns in the realm of great graphics but only adequate gameplay. Not amazing, nor horrible. A lil' above-avg

This review is fairly long, so here's the conclusion before I even get started with the details: ~ DarkSector is an engaging sci-fi dark-toned horror-action third-person-shooter game with superb graphics, gorgeous set... Read Full Review
