Fable II

BioShock

Rift (2011)

A great MMO that stands with the best of the genre

I enjoyed my time with Rift, it has a way of sucking you in and always giving you something to do, without feeling quite like you are on the treadmill with the dangling carrot at the end. I love the soul system, it w... Read Full Review

Gears of War 3

Gears 3 is more of the same from the series

Overall I have enjoyed the GoW series, and this is a fitting culmination to the events that have played out over the 3 games. The story wraps up everything fairly well, the characters and dialogue are great, and I was in... Read Full Review

Mass Effect

An excellent RPG that has a few design flaws that keeps it from being a perfect 10

Mass Effect is a great addition to the RPG universe, by the folks who brought you KOTOR. It does however have a few flaws that keeps it from being a total masterpiece. Pros: Story - Epic scale, nice political/mora... Read Full Review

Riot Act

Fun combination of GTA and Spiderman style gaming

Crackdown is a very fun game to play. Leaping from rooftop to rooftop, blowing gang members to pieces with rocket launchers, and hurling cars at people is very fun and incredibly satisfying. However, besides game play, t... Read Full Review

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Great characters, great animation, great environments, fun game

I just purchased a PS3, and this is my first game for the system. I was not disappointed at all. The game is gorgeous to look at. The environments are very detailed and real, and the character animations are excellent... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed

Fun and engrossing game that showcases the visual capabilities of the XBOX 360

Pros: This game is simply gorgeous. Every town is incredibly detailed and alive. Character motions are fluid and realistic. Sometimes I would catch myself pausing just to take in the surroundings. The story is also ... Read Full Review

Star Ocean: The Last Hope

This is the best JRPG on the market.

This game has it all when it comes to JRPGs. The combat system is very fun and keeps battles interesting. You control one of your party members in real time, executing combos and using spells, while your 3 AI teammates d... Read Full Review

Resistance 2

Enjoyable FPS, long-lasting multiplayer

This is one of the best FPS I have played. The single player campaign is a lot of fun, the story is great, and the set piece battles make good use of all of the different weapons in the game. The settings are varied and ... Read Full Review

Killzone 2

Great game, but not quite all there for me

I just can't figure out if I like this game or not. It's a mixed bag all around. First single player: the action is INTENSE. Crazy battles at every corner, and the AI is very smart. Too bad your teams AI sucks, and th... Read Full Review

The Last Remnant

Technical issues mar a good story

My main issue with the game is long load times between basically everything. Zones in towns, in and out of menus, in and out of rooms, cutscenes, etc. Like long enough to read the entire paragraph "tip" on the loading s... Read Full Review

Far Cry 2

This game had a lot of potential but fell short due to some questionable design choices

The format of the game in and of itself isn't bad, per se, as I see it as GTA: Africa edition. But some of the design choices I really disagree with and thought it made the game less fun to play. The ones I can think of ... Read Full Review

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004

Tiger Woods 2K4 is a challenging, fun, and beautiful game that captures the spirit of golf.

Golf is a beautiful game, out on pristine courses, looking at amazing vistas, and lets not forget the beer cart girls. It is also an amazingly frustrating game, hitting a tiny little ball hundreds of yards only to be una... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Great Action-Adventure

I am pretty new to the Action-Adventure Genre, but this is a great game in my opinion. The graphics are beautiful, the soundtrack is awesome (especially during the chase scenes) and the gameplay is challenging and involv... Read Full Review

Xenogears: Elyhaym Van Houten Edition (Square Millennium Collection)

One of the best RPGs ever

Xenogears is probably in the top 5 best RPGs to not be named Final Fantasy. The story (what I love most about RPGs) is a very in-depth and immersive one, dealing with love, anger, religion, and the value of human life. ... Read Full Review

Genji: Dawn of the Samurai

Very nice to look at, too easy to play

Genji is a gorgeous game with a very fun and interesting battle system. There are a ton of weapons and armor to be found/crafted, and all change the way your character looks, a feature that I love in games. In the ga... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy XIII

Fun, action packed JRPG, but some concerns with the direction the series is headed

- What I Liked - Graphics: Flat out the best looking game on the PS3. Amazing integration of environments, battles, cut scenes, and CGI. Sometimes it was hard to tell when things were done in-engine or via CGI Batt... Read Full Review

Shadow Hearts II

Really unique, fun RPG experience

This RPG really caught me by surprise. Not being a Square title, I just assumed it would be missing that magical touch. In reality, it had more than enough magic to make it a classic and a huge favorite of mine. The stor... Read Full Review

Kingdom Hearts

Disney and Final Fantasy together.... what could be better?

At first I thought this was going to be a kiddie RPG, with the Disney theme and all. Boy was I wrong. The storyline is awesome, and the incorporation of countless Disney locations, mixed with FF characters is fantastic. ... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy VII

The best RPG ever. I bought a Playstation just for this game. I've beaten it like 5 times, and it never gets old.

Everything about the game is awesome. The characters, the battle system, replayability, storyline, everything. It is the best RPG of all time, and any RPG fan should have it. The side-quests are all a lot of fun and very... Read Full Review

Mass Effect 2

Excellent RPG, improves on ME1. Can't wait for ME3!

Pros - Graphics: Improvement over the first game, with lots of map variety, and beautiful effects and lighting - Voice Acting: Excellent Dialogue, great characterization, solid voice work - Combat: Nice gun play, ... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Fun campaign, Multiplayer Style just not for me

This was my first Call of Duty game, and I did enjoy it overall. I thought that the set piece battles were intense and challenging, leaving me with a sense of accomplishment when I beat a section. I enjoyed the story, th... Read Full Review

Darksiders

Challenging puzzles, average combat, decent story, all combine for an overall solid game

Darksiders seems to get compared to Zelda a lot. Having not played Zelda, I can only assume it is because of the environments and the puzzles. The puzzles are varied and challenging, and make use of the new tools/weapons... Read Full Review

Borderlands

While not the most varied game in terms of story or gameplay, the co-op more than makes up for it

I love loot based games. It's one of the main reasons I got into MMOs and why I like certain action titles. Always trying for the next upgrade, the next piece of armor or weapon, the next ability to use. Borderlands capi... Read Full Review

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Great mix of combat, puzzle solving, and exploration. Highly immersive. I really felt like Batman

This is the Batman game to end all Batman games. Featuring the voice-acting cast of the cartoons, this is as close to being Batman as most of us will ever get. The graphics and presentation are top notch, what you would ... Read Full Review

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Yet another glowing review for this game!

Uncharted 2 is everything that a video game should be. All the reviews you have read have gotten it right, and this is a game you must add to your collection. Shame on all you XBox 360 owners (yes I have one too), this i... Read Full Review
