    A very good story, literally no actual game play.

    Jurassic Park: The Game

    By JoeBentley | Review Date: Feb 03, 2012 | X360

    A very good story, literally no actual game play.

    Playing Jurassic Park: The Game. It's Heavy Rain with Dinosaurs, so basically it's, to borrow a phrase from Yahtzee, less a game and more a movie you have to press buttons to watch. It's got a really great story, ... Read Full Review

    A review of only the extra levels of Portal: Still Alive.

    Portal: Still Alive

    By JoeBentley | Review Date: Oct 30, 2008 | X360

    A review of only the extra levels of Portal: Still Alive.

    To be clear I am not reviewing Portal, which stands as one of the greatest and most innovative games of all time. Portal is a short, sublime classic and if you don't already own it as part of the superb Orange Box compi... Read Full Review

    A solid, fun shooter, but nothing compared to the legacy of the earlier Quake series.

    Quake 4

    By JoeBentley | Review Date: Sep 24, 2008 | X360

    A solid, fun shooter, but nothing compared to the legacy of the earlier Quake series.

    Quake IV. It rates a feh Quake IV is a direct sequal to Quake II and ignores Quake I and III. You play Matthew "The exact same generic uber-soldier badass who has appeared in every single FPS since Doom" Kane, a longt... Read Full Review

    A straight up Halo-clone for the iPhone/iPod rises above its derivative nature to become the best portable FPS.

    N.O.V.A. - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance

    By JoeBentley | Review Date: Apr 12, 2010 | IOS

    A straight up Halo-clone for the iPhone/iPod rises above its derivative nature to become the best portable FPS.

    The bottom line: N.O.V.A. is the best portable FPS for any system. FPS games for portable systems have always been hit or miss. Even the good ones like Metroid for the DS or Coded Arms for the PSP feel like a compromi... Read Full Review

    Dead Rising

    By JoeBentley | Review Date: Sep 06, 2008 | X360

    Probably one of the most odd mixtures of wonderful and terrible game design ever...

    On paper Dead Rising does almost everything perfect while simultaneously doing so much in practice completely wrong. The basic premise almost literally could not be better suited for a kick ass video game. Trapped in... Read Full Review

    A potentially great game that was far more broken and rushed then actually flawed.

    Trespasser (1998)

    By JoeBentley | Review Date: Oct 28, 2006 | PC

    A potentially great game that was far more broken and rushed then actually flawed.

    Despites its not totally undeserved reputation as a horrible game, dedicated players should be able to find a lot of potential, and a lot more enjoyment then the game usually gets credit for, out of Trespasser. In a t... Read Full Review
