    A good motivation to rent games first.

    "Special Makoto Love Omelet"

    This is a game, because of the cnet scandals and whatnot, has been given ratings far down in the 3s, but it deserves much better than that I think. I'm not saying this is an amazing game on the other hand either, but it'... Read Full Review

    GoW and KOTOR have a baby. Congratulations, it's a boy.

    Don't listen to IGN - This is Ubisoft's most ambitious title yet.

    At first glance, I couldn't help but be a little bit skeptical if Assassin's creed would really happen to be a good game or not - It sounded a bit too much like it was trying to combine genres in hopes of making some sup... Read Full Review

    A solid game and easily a great collection piece for your rockery.

    Quite frankly, guitar hero III's success and hard work put in surprised me quite a bit, considering the developer, neversoft, was going into territory it had not even touched before. Yet once you've given it a try, you'l... Read Full Review
