Alone in the Dark
Though it was still very fun, this game had remarkable potential that was shot down by ridiculous technical issues.
Alone in the Dark (Xbox 360) Storyline: I honestly do believe that this game would have been absolutely horrid if it weren't for its embracing and emotional storyline. That is always a great thing to see in a game, e... Read Full Review

L.A. Noire
"L.A. Noire" is a game that will entertain just about anyone, but it's also in need of some improvements.
L.A. Noire (Xbox 360) Concept: Thinking back to even my earliest days of gaming, I don't recall ever playing a game that is anything like "L.A. Noire". I've played the occasional "investigation" type of game, but thi... Read Full Review

Portal 2
I had unhealthily high expectations for this sequel, and yet somehow, Valve managed to exceed them.
Portal 2 (Xbox 360) Concept: The story in the original "Portal" game was certainly great, but it was really not a concept of the game that was meant to be focused on. Getting used to how the whole portal system worke... Read Full Review

Mirror's Edge
This is truly one of the most unique games to date, and it succeeds on so many different levels. Buy it.
Mirror's Edge (Xbox 360) Storyline: EA does an excellent job keeping a well-balanced storyline, but also coming to the obvious realization that the game should not focus too much on it, but instead on the uniqueness... Read Full Review

Prey (Collector's Edition)
A slow-paced storyline is a turnoff for impatient gamers, but "Prey" needs to be given a chance.
Prey (Xbox 360) Storyline: When I think aliens, I think of innocent people getting sucked up into a spaceship and doing whatever they possibly can to prevent themselves from getting their brains sucked out. Well, th... Read Full Review

Pocketbike Racer
For $3, I am impressed. It's just as stupid as I expected, and yet somehow is quite addicting in its own unique way.
Pocketbike Racer (Xbox 360) Storyline: There's no storyline in this game. You just jump on a bike and race employees and burgers around a one of five tracks while shooting missiles at them. It's ridiculously stupid ... Read Full Review

Silent Hill: Homecoming
"Silent Hill: Homecoming" is, without a doubt, the most underrated game of 2008.
Silent Hill: Homecoming (Xbox 360) Storyline: Here is basically how the story goes (simple): You (Alex) search for clues about the strange occurences that have been going on in Silent Hill (just like the other games... Read Full Review

Dead Space 2
The sequel to one of the more intense games of this generation is here, and it proves itself worthy of its nametag.
Dead Space 2 (Xbox 360) Concept: The sequel to one of the most powerful games I have ever played is finally here. And believe me, it is great. The game starts out in a completely new setting. Rather than being part o... Read Full Review

Condemned: Criminal Origins
Although a bit sketchy, this is one of the scariest games of all time.
Storyline: This game is pretty much based on its fantastic storyline. It's ridiculously scary, and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the credits roll. You play as a crime scene (CSI) investigator, Ethan Thomas, ... Read Full Review

Blood Stone: 007
While it has its issues, "Blood Stone" is still an incredibly enjoyable adventure that shouldn't be missed
Blood Stone 007 (Xbox 360) Concept: I am going to admit from the beginning that I haven't played a 007 game in a long time. I think the last one was either "Agent Under Fire" or "Nightfire", both of which were played... Read Full Review

Backbreaker
Problems are routine almost immediately in this disaster of a football game.

The Orange Box
Did I like this game? Put it this way: I cried when I completed the whole game. No sarcasm involved.
The Orange Box (Xbox 360) Storyline: Well there are actually five games included in one, if you didn't already know. The first game is the sequel to the phenomenal groundbreaking experience of 'Half-Life'. Your main... Read Full Review

Left 4 Dead
As long as you have Xbox Live (and you love beating up zombies, of course), this is one of the best games you will find.
Left 4 Dead (Xbox 360) Storyline: The storyline in this game is, well, non-existent. To be honest, there really is no major storyline. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the game's concept is bad. In this case, ... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: Black Ops
With a great story, and awesome online multiplayer, "Black Ops" is a winner, despite some noticeable issues.
Call of Duty: Black Ops (Xbox 360) Concept: "Black Ops" had a lot to live up to, and deservingly so. The series has been so successful, that each new launch brings out the insanity in more and more people each time. S... Read Full Review

Medal of Honor
The campaign is a big letdown, but "Medal of Honor" has a multiplayer that is quite unique.
Medal of Honor (Xbox 360) Concept: "Medal of Honor" had a lot to live up to. I don't mean that as a comparison to the other big war oriented game franchises. What I mean is that this game was over-advertised/hyped. I... Read Full Review

Madden NFL 11
Take Madden 10, update the rosters, and pull out the core mechanics that make it so great - That's Madden 11.
Madden NFL 11 (Xbox 360) Concept: Once again, EA is back at it with the newest addition to the long running Madden franchise. Does it live up to expectations? To put it simply - no. As much as I have always stuck up ... Read Full Review

Red Dead Redemption
Rockstar has simply crafted a masterpiece out of what I thought was a dead western theme.
"Red Dead: Redemption" (Xbox 360) Concept: The concept in "Red Dead: Redemption" is truly one of the game's best features. It is, from my knowledge, a very accurate portrayal of western life in the early 1900's. It's... Read Full Review

Green Day: Rock Band
"Green Day: Rock Band" is an absolute blast, and a must have for fans, both of their new AND old.
Green Day: Rock Band (Xbox 360) Storyline: So "Rock Band" is back with their newest installment in a series that has gone WAY overboard. 'Music/rhythm' is a game genre that has lost a lot of popularity and respect. H... Read Full Review

Rock Revolution
Though it has its positive qualities, "Rock Revolution" is ultimately overpowered by its constant problems.
Rock Revolution (Xbox 360) Storyline: "Rock Revolution" is Konami's attempt at matching up against the "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero" series. Now, let me start off by saying this - it is not ALL bad. It does have spec... Read Full Review

Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing
It is certainly an entertaining DLC that brings forth plenty of new material, but it also has its problems.

Metro 2033
It suffers from tech issues throughout, but the game certainly is suspenseful, and manages to get by with a solid story.

Grand Theft Auto IV
Arguments about how good this game is seems to be a notorious routine, and I know exactly why.

Saw
As a huge horror movie/game fan, I felt obligated to trying this one out. Unfortunately, it was not as I expected.
Saw (Xbox 360) Storyline: "Saw" is a game that one would expect to be based heavily on its ability to display a horrifying story. I mean, isn't that the normal mindset going into a horror game? I certainly thought so... Read Full Review

Borderlands
Though it may not have the greatest storyline for an RPG, it's still one really good game.

When a game manages to successfully incorporate five different genres, you know that there is a lot to look forward to.

Left 4 Dead 2
It seems that sequels always have trouble living up to the original. Fortunately, Valve made sure this didn't happen.
*First and foremost - I want to apologize for the tardiness of this review. I promised it a while ago, and never followed through with writing one. I am very sorry, but numerous personal issues have gotten in the way. So... Read Full Review

Left 4 Dead: Crash Course
Though it's an overpriced add-on, as well as a campaign that is very similar to Death Toll, this still has the L4D rush!
Left 4 Dead: Crash Course - ADD ON (Xbox 360) Storyline: The story in this quick little add-on is, like always, very simple. It takes place right after the ending of the "No Mercy" campaign. If you are not familiar ... Read Full Review

"The Darkness" has one of the strangest, most mysterious storylines ever - and it's absolutely genius.

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty (Collector's Edition)
Though it definitely has its "broken" aspects, this game is not NEARLY as bad as people make it out to be.

This is an excellent third-person shooter with a great storyline and gruesome visuals -- though it has it's faults.
