Tekken 5

While not quite as schizophrenic as number 4, it's not that sure of itself either.

You can't really help but feel that Tekken 4 was a plunge down into something that the series wasn't meant to be, and as a result, the whole game pulled in too many different directions for its own good. The good news ab... Read Full Review

Rez

When game meets art, gameplay feels left out. Is that a problem? Not really.

I'll be frank, Rez is probably one of my favourite games, and that has nothing to do with things like an engaging story or a challenging last boss encounter. What makes this so special is the way it combines what you do ... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

Chaos Theory perfects the formula, and it is without a doubt one of the most impressive games of this generation.

I'd like to point out that this is a review of the single player portion of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. The multiplayer part may get some special mention in my gamespot journal at some point, but with this text, let's g... Read Full Review

Headhunter: Redemption

Amuze reckons it's time for more Headhunting, but what this sequel lacks is heart.

You know, I consider myself pretty good at buying games. More often than not, I'm completely happy with my purchase, and proceed to placing it on my bookshelf along with all my other games that I've decided to keep. What... Read Full Review

Halo (Xbox Collection)

Any way you look at it, Halo is a phenomenal achievement, and its impact on how we percieve the FPS genre is undeniable.

The term "revolutionary" gets thrown around a lot, but people rarely stop to ponder what that means. In the genre of first person shooters, it basically meant that someone dared take the steps necessary for a g... Read Full Review

Burnout 3: Takedown (Platinum Hits)

Curiously, many of the things that made Burnout 2 such a great experience are missing from this sequel.

Burnout 3 is, in many ways, a very accomplished racer that just about anyone will enjoy. It's easy to pick up, absolutely gorgeous and sounds phenomenal. Cars zipping past you will have you ducking and dodging like your ... Read Full Review

Devil May Cry 3

Ironically, this younger, less experienced Dante wipes the floor with his two later selves.

Devil May Cry 3 should put everyone's faith back into Capcom's ability to make games that not only are visually appealing, but also challenging and rewarding to play. Besides being insanely difficult at times, this ga... Read Full Review

Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic The Hegehog cleans up its act and delivers some solid gameplay, but other aspects ultimately let it down.

It's been a while since Sonic and friends had a game coming out that felt like a part of its main series. As with Mario, Sonic has had his share of Sunshine and Mansions in the way of Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog... Read Full Review

Ryuu ga Gotoku

Yakuza isn't Shenmue with guns (it's barely Yakuza with guns) and that misconception is potentially its downfall.

Spikout: Battle Street arrived on Xbox a couple of years ago to very little fanfare. It was the first home conversion of the arcade game Spikeout, and it was arguably the best bare knuckles beat em up game since Die Hard... Read Full Review
