Halo 3
This fight is finished. At least for now. We know it's amazing, so let's get on with singing it's praise!
Of course Halo 3 is incredible. Of course the multiplayer is so good it's going to cost you, your girlfriend, your job, possibly the death of a few unfed pets. And of course they tied everything up nice and neat so we'll... Read Full Review

Gundam Musou International
Seriously. I f you were expecting Bioshock or Halo, you bought the wrong game, And someone should take your 360 away!
DW:Gundam is just what it should be. An easy to control Gundam game with tons of pilots and mechs to control and upgrade...all while fighting under the umbrella and larger mechanic of dynasty warriors. Is it bad? no. ... Read Full Review

Grandia III
Many people have complained; saying great combat, blah story. I say to them, "play the game again." you're missing out!
Grandia 3 really does have it all. it's environments are gorgeous, the freedom of air travel is almost on par with the final fantasy airships of old, and the combat is unquestionably on the verge of turn-based perfection... Read Full Review

Wow. just....wow. I don't believe this is a superhero game. Comic games suck...it's a rule...but this is great!! wow!!!!

BioShock
Fan-freakin-tastic. Even people who don't like shooters, or hell...games for that matter will still dig Bioshock.
Bioshock is a success in every sense of the word. Graphically, of course it's beautiful beyond description and creepy as all get out; much like discovering those rumors about Jessica Alba's health may be true. Haha! C... Read Full Review

Rumble Roses
wow i never thought there was a guilty pleasure game that's more shameful than bloodrayne 2......and yet. heheheh.
ok, first the bad news: rumble roses has virtually no innovation at all. sure it's technically proficient, but it has no real drive. the fighting and grappling engine is relatively unbalanced and once you know the system... Read Full Review

Helix: Fear Effect
Ahh retro helix...it pushed the envelope just like the first fear effect but with the bonus of, well, girlie uh..action.
Yes retro helix has the -now famous lesbian- elements and the costume changing...oh the joy. But at it's heart it is still a fear effect game and really centers on the tightened up gameplay mechanics from the original. T... Read Full Review

Resident Evil: Director's Cut
Ok. yes it was a good game and yes it was the game that launched 1000 sequels, but as a director's cut its dissapointing
RE was the first in one of the most popular gaming genre's around today. for that biohazard must be respected. but biohazard in all it's gory glory wasn't released here. Resident evil was, so when we were promised a dire... Read Full Review

Parasite Eve
Parasite eve was a novel idea. It was an action rpg before anyone knew what that was. it was very pretty too. but good??
parasite eve had an enormous amount of potential and i realize it had an enormous cult following, but that was mainly from anime fans who love those tentacled horrow films. fact of the matter was that parasite eve had... Read Full Review

Xenogears: Elyhaym Van Houten Edition (Square Millennium Collection)
Xenogears...a 'broken arrow' that still elevates above all other comers. Still the finest of rpgs, even ten years later.
There are -many- gamers, I imagine who might flame me for this, but it could well be argued that the Xenogears storyline, and concept is better than any Final Fantasy game to come down the pipe in years. Now before you g... Read Full Review

SSX On Tour
SSX on tour, is a bonified gem. You may want to dismiss it at first, but give it time. It's a diamond in the rough!
After spending a few minutes with 'On Tour' I made a snap judgement. I disliked the cumbersome new courses, the music was abrasive and pointless, and I absolutely hated the new control scheme for uber-tricks. Plus- you... Read Full Review

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga
DDS1 is my first foray into shin megami tensei. the artistic stylized world is amazing, but is the gameplay? well...yeah

Drakengard 2
Interesting. It's like dynasty warriors on air and land.....and if it were psuedo-medieval. hmmmm. it'll do i 'spose.
Drakengard was a lackluster title, and 2 does clean up a lot of issues i had with it's predecessor. Flight combat is tighter and more exhilarating, but the ground combat still leaves something to be desired. the face... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Battlefront II
Soooooo much better this time around! yea! Battlefront 2 is superior in almost every way over the original.

Gun is very very short, but for the price i can't complain. and what little there is, is very well done...

Overlord
Overlord has some good ideas. and it is pretty,even on standard def, but dumb things like no camera control mar it alot.
Overlord's camera is crap. mainly because it's virtually non existent. you can center ur vision with the right trigger, but that also happens to be one button that send your minions off to attack...so it's fortunate you ... Read Full Review

Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies
AC4 is one of the finest flight action/sims ever conceived by man. It is surpassed in the marketplace only by AC5!

TimeSplitter: Jikuu no Shinryakusha
'Ever see a game that tries too hard? I get that feeling about TS2. The new stuff is nifty, but it feels like overkill.
TS2 is a respectable sequel to the launch shooter. Graphics are better, there are many many more characters, and oodles of new weapons. The problem is they spent a little too much time figuring how much they could add ra... Read Full Review

Impressive. This is as close as I've been to running a war ever in a videogame. Koei has done a really good job here!
