Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (w/Guitar)

Riot Act

Almost perfect, but sorely lacking in content to a painful degree.<br /> *UPDATED* Content problem mostly fixed by DLC.

This game is so close to being amazing that it is painful to see it fail. The graphics are far above average, though the cell shaded look is a little flat. Yes, I know it isn't really cell shading. The explosions are ... Read Full Review

Battlestar Galactica Online

World of...Galactica? Really?

I'm going to keep this short because this game was dead to me as soon as I started flying. If a game is going to call itself "Batlestar Galactica", it needs to incorporate Newtonian Physics into its flight model. The emb... Read Full Review

Guitar Hero II

Simply put, the best music game out there, other than Guitar Hero 1.

Guitar Hero II is one step away from perfection. The gameplay here is perfect. DDR, learn your lesson here. The basic idea of hitting two buttons at once is far better than DDR's simple step-step-step garbage. Series ... Read Full Review

MotorStorm

Perfectly on par with PGR3.

Not a whole lot to say about this one. Its really, really sparse on content. Graphics, gameplay, and sound are all above average. Really, there is not much to write home about or to bag on. Where this game falls ap... Read Full Review

Resistance: Fall of Man

Good enough for a PS3 owner, but nowhere near Gears of War or even Halo 2. (Only 3 hours of play)

In advance, I only have 3 hours of play with this game. Resistance is a solid game, but not the behemoth that Sony hyped it up to be. A 9.0 This is not. In general, the graphics are only average for a next generati... Read Full Review

Gears of War

An instant classic. Nothing short of brilliant.

Gears of War is a beast. There is no other way to say it. The graphics stand head and shoulders above every other game released to date, and as far as gameplay goes, this is the most perfect balance of skill and luck eve... Read Full Review

Sins of a Solar Empire

I can't rave enough about this game. BUY IT! It will absorb your life faster than WOW!

I have not played a game this fun in my life. Sins takes a VERY long time to get into, but it is extremely addicting after that. You may never have to buy another game! The graphics and audio are both good, but not un... Read Full Review

Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

It's almost perfect...except for the ending. Good thing you probably won't play the single player much.

This is one of the best competitive fighting games ever made. I am a MvC2 veteran, albeit a less than skilled one, and I will say right away that while a tiny bit of that game's depth has been removed for MvC3, the impro... Read Full Review

Killzone 2

Don't freak out guys. This game is overrated, but it's still a great game.

Let me say this first. I think Sony has blown it with the PS3. Phew, now that that is out of the way, I can review this game. Killzone 2 is like a REALLY hot blonde; it stuns you right off the bat, but if you want a real... Read Full Review

Halo Wars

Ensemble has told the hardcore gamers to go suck it...and suck it I will, because this game is amazing.

Halo Wars is an entirely new breed of RTS, and anyone who says that it is too simple needs to be shot. The whole point of Halo Wars is that it is incredibly simple, and that is what makes it so damn much fun. Gameplay... Read Full Review

Rock Band

The single most important video game...ever!

Every once in a while, a game comes along that truly changes everything about the industry. This is one of those games, and perhaps the most important of them. I have been hooked on this game for a long time, and because... Read Full Review

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

Guitar Hero III tries too hard to please too many people, but its still Guitar Hero.

Lets get this out of the way: I love guitar hero passionately. I may not be the Jordan destroying dork that most real fans are, but I play enough to be able to play Six on expert. That said, here is my review: The gra... Read Full Review

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty

It's not perfect, and it's more than a bit outdated, but it's the best outdated game EVER.

Let me preface this review by saying that I barely played the original starcraft, and as of now I have not finished the Starcraft 2 campaign, but I am already sucked into this story and this game actually drove me to go ... Read Full Review

Halo 3

What we expected, and nothing more. Fortunately, what we expected is the best there is.

Quite frankly, Halo 3 is the best game of all time. It's not perfect, but then again, neither were Mario or Zelda. What makes Halo 3 better than either of those games, or any other for that matter, is that Halo 3 is the ... Read Full Review

Mass Effect 2

It's a weaker game in concept to its predecessor, but it's perfect in execution, and that's all that matters in the end.

Mass Effect 2 nails everything that made the first Mass Effect great and exceeds it. The elements that were removed are a bit of a letdown, but what remains is absolutely perfect, and the groundwork has now been set for ... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 3

This is not the game that Gamespot says it is. It's not bad, but it can't compare with COD or COD2.

I'm sorry, but COD 3 is nowhere near as good as the first two games in the series. The graphics are spectacular. Serious improvement over COD 2. The sound is still excellent, as it was in COD 2. Where this game ... Read Full Review

Mass Effect

The more you play this game, the better it becomes. I've sunk 125 hours into this game, and I love it.

Mass Effect is the pinnacle of storytelling in video games at this point, above all other games out there and the majority of recent movies as well. It can get cheesy at times and the slower gameplay may be off-putting t... Read Full Review

Marvel vs. Capcom 2

This re-release isn't perfect, but the game within is the best fighter ever made.

This is gonna be short, but whatever. If you have even a passing interest in fighting games, get MvC2. And I'm not going to mention the negatives, they aren't that big of a deal. Graphics: Good when it came out. S... Read Full Review

Street Fighter IV

Folks, if you are like me and think that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is the height of fighting games, stay away from this one.

Folks, if you are like me and think that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is the height of fighting games, stay away from this one. It is a great fighting game, but a "casual-friendly" this game is not and for all intents and purpose... Read Full Review

Guitar Hero

Quite possibly the best rhythm game ever, let alone best game overall.

Guitar Hero is simply unbelievable. I have played a lot of games, I have suffered through the awful DDR games, I have tried time and again to enjoy Rez, and I only like Guitar Freaks, but this game is unbelievable. Th... Read Full Review

X3: Terran Conflict

This is not a game for the normal kind of person. If you liked privateer, you will like x3TC. If not, stop reading.

This is not a game for the normal kind of person. If you liked privateer, you will like x3TC. If not, stop reading. Still here? Ok, X3TC is among the most complex games ever made. It ... Read Full Review

Excite Truck

6.8 nothing, this game is the best thing on the Wii until Metroid Prime 3. If you see it cheap, buy it!

To put it simply, Excite Truck is not a deep game. It will expend nearly all of its tricks within 48 hours of your first playthrough. What makes Excite Truck so awesome is the fact that, for those 48 hours, you will be i... Read Full Review

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

A full year too late.

The Xbox 360 and PC versions of this game were amazing when they came out, and this is coming from a jaded shooter fan. The problem with this game is that it is a full year to late. The graphics are barely better than... Read Full Review

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Haven't we played this before?

Twilight Princess is a solid game, don't get me wrong. Were this the first game in a franchise, this would be a 9.5 or above. The problem is that Twilight Princess feels almost no different than Ocarina of Time, which wa... Read Full Review

Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror

A great game, until it suddenly isn't.

This is a hard game to review. Syphon Filter starts out on a good foot, with a fairly engaging single player campaign. It has decent graphics, decent sound, decent gameplay, and what appears to be a great multiplayer ... Read Full Review

Halo (Xbox Collection)

Best game of all time.

There simply never has been a game quite like Halo. The control scheme is perfect, and nothing else even comes close on a console. That includes Goldeneye. The graphics were unbelievable for a console game at the t... Read Full Review
