Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Not as good as Black Ops, but still a fine game.

The Call of Duty series has, for some time, been accused of resting on its laurels. Since the breakout success of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the series has built a legion of fans - and detractors - for its insane r... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2

If they wanted to ship half a game, how about charging half price?

(Keep in mind that this is based on the PlayStation 3 version of the game. Owners of the Xbox 360 version may have a different experience) Having thoroughly enjoyed the original Rainbow Six Vegas, I eagerly pre-ordere... Read Full Review

The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return

The dead walk on the Wii in this collection of two phenomenal light gun games.

I mentioned in my Umbrella Chronicles review my annoyance at being unable to play House of the Dead 2 on my LCD television, which is a shame since it was one of my favorite Dreamcast games. Thus, it's easy to imagine tha... Read Full Review

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

Despite some annoying bugs, S.T.A.L.K.E.R easily creeps into the hearts of those who play it.

One of the bugbears that normally prevents me from beating a PC game in atimely and efficient manner is when they're buggy. Whether it be anunreasonable amount of glitches, or just a few broken side questshere and there,... Read Full Review

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

Blast the undead senseless in this blood-stained stroll down memory lane.

With my current LCD television, I'm unable to play House of the Dead 2 for Sega Dreamcast or Vampire Night for PS2 because traditional lightguns don't work on LCD screens. Yes, not being able to play House of the Dead 2 ... Read Full Review

Duke Nukem 3D

The Most Ambitious Game of Its Time.

First-person shooters in the formative years since Doom were most easily characterized by their drab environments and their unrelenting seriousness. Doom had created its fair share of imitators, making the genre seem dr... Read Full Review

Rogue Warrior

Quite Possibly the Best Bad Game Ever.

Dick Marcinko is a real person, but you'd be forgiven for thinking he was a stand-in for Duke Nukem in this ridiculous little game by the way he behaves. It's 1986, nearing the final years of the Cold War, and Mr. Ma... Read Full Review

Duke Nukem Forever

The sad ending to a long-running joke.

Just not thrilling. That's really the most one can say about this game, a 12+ year mess of development hubris. Considering there are likely people who were way too young to play Duke Nukem 3D who are old enough to p... Read Full Review

Tetris Evolution

Great game, crappy online mode.

Tetris. The series has endured for nearly as long as post-crash console gaming itself. Now, decades after the classic was unleashed on the Game Boy, the next generation gets its first Tetris game. However, it's someth... Read Full Review

Burnout Revenge

Burnout Revenge is fast, but can make you furious.

Burnout Revenge is an intense racing game for the Xbox 360, emphasizing raw speed and impressive wrecks over many of the subtle nuances seen in games such as Ridge Racer and Gran Tourismo. Players don't really need to k... Read Full Review

RockMan X4

For gamers with an itch for hardcore 2D action, the blue bomber scratches like none other.

At the time of Megaman X4's release, the PlayStation emphasized the system's 3D capabilities above everything else. However, some of the best games for the system were classic 2D platformers with unrelenting difficult... Read Full Review

Dragon Quest VII: Eden no Senshi-tachi

A disaster in every sense of the word, Dragon Warrior VII doesn't earn its place in the legendary RPG franchise.

Dragon Warrior VII excited me, and I really wanted to like it. It was from the series that got me into RPG gaming in the first place, and the memories of those masterpieces on the Nintendo Entertainment System made me ... Read Full Review

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

It could have been great if it were polished more. As it stands, however, it's very good.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness is the story of Hector, a devil forgemaster who turned his back on Count Dracula, only to be forced to fight again after one of his former co-workers murders his betrothed. As Hector, yo... Read Full Review

Dragon Quest VIII: Sora to Umi to Daichi to Norowareshi Himegimi

Old school gameplay meets new school presentation in the revival of a role-playing legend.

After the misery that was the snail-paced Dragon Warrior VII, I was severely doubting whether I should bother getting Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. However, having picked it up and logged in a large amo... Read Full Review

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved

Perhaps a bit too frantic for its own good, but fun nonetheless.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is in a precarious position. To be blunt, it's the only thing worth buying on Xbox Live Arcade. A graphically simple game that relies exclusively on twitch reflexes, Geometry Wars: Retro Ev... Read Full Review

Rumble Roses XX

Like DOAX, this game is best suited for those who enjoy hunting unlockable goodies.

No one went into this game expecting the greatest wrestling game in the world. Smackdown! vs. Raw 2007 is coming out in a few months for that. What people were expecting was a sexy, silly romp with the Roses, and Rumbl... Read Full Review

BioShock

A good game that would have been great if the gameplay meant something.

After a long wait, 2K Boston's Bioshock finally hits the Xbox 360, promising a great action/horror experience. However, while it delivers in some parts, there are flaws that just can't be ignored. First, let's talk a... Read Full Review

DOOM

The game that defined a generation is back with tweaked controls and sleek presentation.

Doom is not the first game in the first-person shooter category. However, it is the game widely credited with popularizing the genre and bringing it into the mainstream in a time when the PC was dominated by adventure g... Read Full Review

Irregular Hunter X

Not quite perfect, but more than enough, Megaman Maverick Hunter X justifies buying the PSP.

Megaman X. It's one of the longer running series in the history of gaming, with a rabid cult following and the full support of it's publisher, Capcom. The series has had its' peaks and valleys, but the series as a who... Read Full Review

Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting

Gimped online play and a horrible control pad ruin an otherwise spot-on port.

Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting. The name brings up memories of an amazing era in arcade gaming. Lines a mile long. Hot competition between the best, most passionate players in the world. The highlight of many of o... Read Full Review

Prey (2006)

How exactly did the white man take over if Native Americans never die?

Prey is an odd one to review. On the one hand, it’s got quite a few ambitious concepts, an unusual occurrence in the largely generic first-person shooter genre. On the other hand, it’s way too damned easy and short for... Read Full Review
