Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

Brilliant, game changing experience.

Short Summary:Graphics: Decent, looks good on XB1, nothing I'd call "the best of next Gen".Sound: Epic score, gets you in the mood to chop heads off, really nothing needs be said more than that.Gameplay: The best game I'... Read Full Review

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

So much potential, but horrid bugs (from beta that still exist) and half implemented ideas drag Vanguard down.

I will be the first to admit I was among the throng of people screaming for people to give Vanguard: Saga of Heroes a chance. Its premise, and the world that they PLANNED on building promised to be one of the most immers... Read Full Review

Radiant Historia

Radiant Historia is one of those once in a decade games that should not be missed!

Radiant Historia reeks of "Instant Classic." While that phrase is thrown around quite often, Radiant Historia really has everything it takes to become just that. In many ways, Radiant Historia is a game many would call "... Read Full Review

Chrono Trigger

Still one of the best games ever made

That honestly could sum up the entirety of Chrono Trigger in one sentence. CT has been one of the few games that has stood the test of time since it was released in 1995. The graphics and sound at the time were pushing t... Read Full Review

Project Gotham Racing 3

Just...one...more...race!

You'll find yourself saying that statement over, and over again as the clock ticks away into the early morning hours. There really isn't much more that can be said about PGR3 outside of whats already been stated: The gra... Read Full Review

Elemental: War of Magic

Patching post release allow Elemental: War of Magic to live up to it's full potential. And there's a lot to love.

When I first heard about E:WoM , my first thoughts ran back to 1995's Microprose release of Master of Magic (I believe it was '95). This comparison is certainly not unwarranted, and Stardock has made no qualms about the ... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Platinum)

The final game in the saga of Solid Snake is one that no one should miss.

Metal Gear Solid 4 was easily one of the most anticipated games for PS3 since the first screenshots trickled into the presses, and for good reason. Since the game's inception, Hideo Kojima was promising what would be the... Read Full Review

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

ESIV:Oblivion could easily be one of the best RPGs to ever hit the market.

RPGs are something this reviewer has always had quite a passion for, and when a game comes out that enables you to REALLY roleplay your own character and make your own story, rather than be the spectator of another's, it... Read Full Review

F.E.A.R.

Wow, where did this little gem come from, and why can't there be more games like it?

First off, I was not one of the fans who followed F.E.A.R. from inception to completion, and I honestly hadn't even heard of the game until last week when a friend of mine was raving about the single player demo. Bein... Read Full Review

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

A slew of Marvel character nostalgia, intriguing story, and excellent Xbox live play make this worth checking out!

A game with the premise of MUA has easily been a long time coming. How often have fans of comics wondered, "What would happen if they all came together in one huge battle to decide the fate of the Marvel Universe?&q... Read Full Review

Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach

What PnP DnD players have been waiting for, for a long time: The best DnD to PC translation ever.

The idea of a playing DnD in an MMO environment is not a new idea. The first attempt at something similar was done back in the mid-90s called Neverwinter Nights (not that Bioware released...thing). The original NWN offer... Read Full Review

EverQuest II: Desert of Flames

It's been almost a year since Everquest 2 launched, how is the game living up to its potential in this new expansion?

I remember my excitement when Everquest 2 was released November of last year. The collector's edition arrived on my doorstep right on time, and I had taken a day off from college and work to play one of the most anticipa... Read Full Review

The Guild 2

A worthy successor to an innovative game, but not without its shortcomings.

Europa 1400: The Guild, is easily somewhere in my top 10 list of favorite games. There was easily no other game like it, and it was that unique approach that gave The Guild a lasting appeal. The Guild 2 tries to follo... Read Full Review

NCAA Football 06

For a first-time foray into the college football firenzy, this game did not disappoint!

For the first time this year, I finally picked up one of the NCAA football games. An avid fan of Madden football, I couldn't see how this would be much different, but being totally unfamiliar with college football in gen... Read Full Review

Madden NFL 06

While not quite up to expectations for a Madden game, several new features give the series a fresh approach.

Perhaps this is the year that will illustrate the beauty of having other companies with football licenses besides just Electronic Arts. While Madden 2006 presents an overall great football game, it hasn't improved all th... Read Full Review

Battlefield 2

Digital Illusions serves up a worthy heir to its constantly growing Battlefield empire.

DICE didn't take the lackluster reviews of Battlefield Vietnam sitting down, and it is definitely evident in the fun and exciting sequal that is Battlefield 2. An appropriate name too, as this is truly a sequal that h... Read Full Review

Guild Wars (Special Edition)

Easily, the game that has many MMORPG's shaking in their +2 Boots of Protection.

People said it couldn't be done... there's no way a company producing a game that even remotely has Massive Multiplayer mechanics could ever actually survive without charging a monthly fee. Well, whether its a pact w... Read Full Review

Stronghold 2

A nice attempt... more of a throwback to older games, but still could use some polish

As many who read my reviews know, I don't look for graphics to judge a game. In fact games like this one intrigue me since, in my view, they should make up for in gameplay what lacks in graphics... Stronghold 2 gives ... Read Full Review

Empire Earth II

Nothing new, but thats not a bad thing, what is there is done well and fans should not pass it up.

Empire Earth has always been a game for what could be considered the hardcore strategy gamer. EE1 had a great deal of micromanagement along with fueling the war machine and big picture along, so its no surprise that EE2 ... Read Full Review

The Matrix Online

A solid edition to the MMO genre, a good live-team, and design ethics show MxO's promising future.

I'm another one of the lucky chaps that got to beta test the matrix online for quite a lengthy period of time, and like another reviewer on here I was very shocked at just how much the development team listened to the be... Read Full Review

Silent Hunter III

Subsim fans, it does not get any better than this! Everything you've longed for, and more!

I apologize for any glaring errors of the grammatical nature throughout this review. I have not slept in 2 days, and have been playing this amazing new creation that came out of Romania for the entire two day period. Thi... Read Full Review

Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown

Fans of DoTC will appreciate this more, but its still worth a look if you find it in a bargain bin.

As many of you know if you've read my past reviews, I've always felt that games need to go back to the roots and find what it was that made the classics the great games that they still are today. So I'm sure you can w... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Kojima strikes again and lives up to the high expectations of an already fantastic series

It is the height of the cold war... rebel factions within the Soviet Union are rampant as Kruschev's power wanes publicly. One group in perticular is building a weapon which could end the Cold War and bring the world to ... Read Full Review
