The World Ends with You

Killzone 2

Resident Evil 5

BioShock

Prince of Persia

The Sims 3

You still might not get Slimish ("Abu Da Ma Wahee!") but the 3rd installment exceeds expectations.

I'll be the first to admit it: I'm the biggest Sims fan who wasn't looking foward to the Sims 3 at all. Graphically, it looked almost identical to the Sims 2 (except w/ a more realistic touch), the controls seemed ident... Read Full Review

PlayStation Home

A Seemingly Great Concept Ruined By SONY & the Users

It's one thing for a developer to miss their mark (aka Sony using a Second-Life avatar as a subliminal marketing campaign) but it's even worse when the other end of the spectrum (aka the users) makes it umbearable. W... Read Full Review

Subarashiki Kono Sekai: It's A Wonderful World

Just like the DS, this game is unconventional as it is deep & endearing

Just when I was loosing interest in the DS, WEWY revives my interest in this uncanny portable. With elements eerily similar to Scientology & tons of locations/pop culture trends of Tokyo's ultra-trendy Shibuya district,... Read Full Review

Resident Evil 5 (Collector's Edition)

What do you need to know? RE5 = RE4 + HD + Online.

If you have an itchy trigger finger ready to pull on some monsters en masse, then RE5 is your best bet! CONTROLS: It's archaic compared to other action titles out there. Its a rough marriage b/t the old RE while stil... Read Full Review

BioShock

Put away the Hype and what do you get: your everyday, generic shooter and then add random, bizarre element into the game

BioShock was basically promised as the second coming of God...a first person shooter with so much deph to storyline, actions that create infinitely different scenarios, and atmosphere that creates the mood of the game. ... Read Full Review

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

Simply one of the best games I've ever played and its a portable game of all things?!!

I've never played Final Fantasy nor did I have a strong desire to play this, but Crisis Core is charming, fun, wise, and gorgeous to look at. GOOD: The STORYLINE, while the overall arc is simple enough, is suppor... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia

This isn't the grand Prince's return, but this new franchise deserves a coronation of its own.

This is the best platformer I've played since Uncharted came out in 2007. It's a different spin on the seemingly monotoned genre, complete with a partner A.I and new design approach. However, underneath its beautifully... Read Full Review

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

The game is awesome to look at...but that's about it.

Having played the Jak & Daxter franchise, I was extremely excited to play this franchise after seeing the hype for it. I found out that it looks really flashly and the commercials made it look like a Pixar film, but oth... Read Full Review

Tomb Raider: Underworld

Rather than burying your $60 for Underworld, this game is a great rental

Even though Crystal Dynamics has reinvented the franchise only 2 years ago, the formula is already showing quick aging for the great TR. Basically, if your a fan of Legend, you'll definitely want to experience Underworl... Read Full Review

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

Now that the hype is gone, how does MGS4 actually fare?...

Guns of the Patriots is a technical masterpiece that will please MGS fans as well as some newcomers. The game delivers the bells & whistles on nearly all aspects of the game. Here's why the game rocks>>> The GRA... Read Full Review

Silent Hill: Homecoming

Homecoming = Silent Hill + Western Horror Twist? + "Dodge" button!?

THE GOOD, GREAT, & AWESOME: 1. SOUNDTRACK - from the static radio, deserted streets, to Akira's soundtrack, Homecoming was the reason why you bought a surround sound system 2. GRAPHICS - From Alex's character model, ... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy XIII

My first FF title was as precious as it was flawed

Not only was this my first Final Fantasy title, this was my first JRPG. Actually, my first RPG really...so XIII was a great introduction into the gaming genre. As technical and beautiful precise as the game was, much of ... Read Full Review

Silent Hill 4: The Room

The Room is the most disturbing survival horror title I have ever played. Period.

An incredible atmosphere of both claustrophobia as well as "cat-and-mouse" plague you as you attempt to solve the mysteries of your cursed apartment. Sounds stupid, right? Yea, so did many of the other features that thi... Read Full Review

Silent Hill 2 (Special 2 Disc Set)

Silent Hill 2 horrified the world in 2001. By 2008, I decide its my turn to return as well with this installment...

...and despite the 7 year play gap and obvious gameplay age, Silent Hill 2 has great strengths over the others in the series as well as notable flaws. Here's my takedown of the foggy city. GOOD: The STORYLINE is a su... Read Full Review

Silent Hill: Origins

Exactly everything you know about the franchise has been shrunk down to portable size...and that's about it.

Every aspect of the game retains the same formula it possesses on consoles (which many might find better anyways). The only problem is...for people who travel alot, we don't have the luxury to close ourselves in a dark ... Read Full Review

Burnout Dominator

An "all right" installment of the Burnout franchise...but what happened?

Ever since the days of Burnout 3: Takedown, I have avidly followed the Burnout franchise with a deep sense of excitement. So when I bought my PSP, I immediately thought that the racing game to get what Dominator. While... Read Full Review

GRID

Not my cup of the racing genre but still deserves merit for what it accomplishes

From the sleek menu navigations inspired by DIRT to the insane course challenges presented early on into the game's career mode, GRID offers an exceptional racing experience for general racing enthusiasts. Here's my pro... Read Full Review

SoulCalibur IV

The only fighting game you'll ever need on a console. Period

As the title says, this game delivers the best of the fighting genre as well as tweaks the already butt-kicking gameplay. The developers must've honestly gone with the "Don't fix what isn't broken, but perfect what alre... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto IV

By far the best GTA title out, and perhaps by far one of the best games to date

Having played many GTAs of the past, i was reluctant to play this purely because the franchise hadn't evolved significantly over the past couple of years. GTA IV put my thoughts to rest. Here's why GOOD: GTAIV rede... Read Full Review

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Seriously underestimated by many<br /> critics, this game buried "Tomb Raider" into the ground for me for good

Naughty Dog's reputation of making high qualities make a perfect translation into this ambitious platformer. I can't believe this game got only an 8.0?! Were they seriously on crack or do they just really not like the P... Read Full Review

Devil May Cry 4

A cosplay-obsessed video game with equally crazy gameplay

This title being the first of the DMC for me to play, it's like playing an Asian-developed "God of War' but slightly less inferior (again, slightly...). Here's the crackdown on what I thought: GOOD: The graphics on t... Read Full Review

Daxter

A technically-driven game, but playing as a "bug exterminator"....

Let me just confess something: Jak II is one of my all time favorite games amongst the great roster of PS2 titles. So, this one being a prequel to it I was stoked about it. Here's a quickie on the review. GOOD: Bes... Read Full Review

Tekken: Dark Resurrection

Tekken 5 was an instant winner on the PS2. Now that it's on the PSP, it 's everything PS2 but better since its portable

In my opinion, it's the ONLY fighter on the PSP worth owning. It's a technical masterpiece for a portable system that not only requires a bit of skill but is also fun as hell to play. Here's the rundown GOOD: Probab... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

If your a fan of MGS3, this is basically a caliber sequel shrunk to the size of a portable.

As an avid fan of the Metal Gear Solid franchise, having an actual MGS title for the PSP is a great alternative for when riding on the subway/cab. Here's a quick review for ya GOOD: Where to begin...everything that y... Read Full Review

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles

Despite my love for Castlevania, this title was a stripped down version that was also fustrating & annoying.

I understand that "Dracula X Chronicles" is a remake, but it doesn't mean that it didn't need to be befuddled by its problems back then too. Here's a simple rundown. GOOD: The game is accompanied with great graphics,... Read Full Review
