    Choice is an Illusion

    X-Men: Destiny

    Choice is an Illusion

    This game took me by surprise. I don't mean that I was surprised at how it was made or how it was played. I mean I didn't even know it was coming out. I am a rabid X-Men fan so I am pretty aware of all things, X-Men. ... Read Full Review

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Dragon Age II

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Warning: There may be spoilers here! I liked this game. I LOVED the first one. But I really only liked this one. I have a few beefs with Dragon Age II. The first one is the fact that Bioware hates mages. They l... Read Full Review

    So nice, I played it twice...

    Resident Evil 5

    So nice, I played it twice...

    This was a fun game. I really liked it. When I get a game that I like a lot, I always play it again immediately after finishing it (except for Bethesda's games which are sometimes so epic, I need some time to recover f... Read Full Review

    A disjointed arena fighter.

    X-Blades

    A disjointed arena fighter.

    This game tried too hard. It should have just been happy to be a regular arena fighter as that is essentially what it is. The graphics are decent, the monsters are decent, the fighting is decent. Everything else is pr... Read Full Review

    Not much hope for Star Ocean

    Star Ocean: The Last Hope

    Not much hope for Star Ocean

    "Star Ocean: The Last Hope" was a big disappointment for me. The game is a mixture of good and bad elements thrown loosely together. Graphics - Fair At times they are great, but they are more often blurry and flat l... Read Full Review

    F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

    It was fun, but not overly so...

    ** Caution - May contain spoilers ** This game was good. I liked the action. The action was smooth and interesting and frequent. I liked the weapons. The weapons were varied and frequently occurring enough to ... Read Full Review

    Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

    Beautiful story, beautiful graphics, beautiful characters, beauty, beauty beauty...

    This game took me a little by surprise. I didn't really expect it to be that good. I rented it to kill some time between blockbusters. It was a very satisfying game. Simple yet elegant story. Beautifully crafted cha... Read Full Review

    Great Multiplayer, Average Single Campaign

    Left 4 Dead

    Great Multiplayer, Average Single Campaign

    I liked this game a lot. It has great battles. Almost epic. The action is constant, alarming, sometimes overwhelming. It was hard! But the good kind of hard. Multiplayer is awesome. Single campaign is a bit disapp... Read Full Review

    The Lord of the Rings: Conquest

    Decent graphics is the best I can muster...

    Well, my parents taught me that if you can't say something nice; don't say anything at all. Hence the title. The graphics are decent. The uhmm "characters" are well rendered. There is slim pickings to cling to with a... Read Full Review

    Rise of the Argonauts

    Not bad, not great. Good, but with problems...

    I expected this game to be horrible, what with all the bad reviews I read. It wasn't. It was even fun enough for me to play through twice, which I usually only do with games I really like. I didn't REALLY like this on... Read Full Review

    Gears of War 2

    Unfocused but FUN

    Okay, I loved Gears of War 1. It had great graphics, great dialogue, great combat, great characterization. Gears of War 2 has all those things and more. More variety, more weapons, more dialogue, more backstory and mo... Read Full Review

    A fun platformer.

    Prince of Persia

    A fun platformer.

    I don't know why this game is classified Fantasy Action Adventure here as it is almost certainly a mildly atypical platformer. It IS fun. I don't usually care for platformers but this one was fun. The areas are inter... Read Full Review

    Great multiplayer, extremely short solo campaign.

    Halo: Reach

    Great multiplayer, extremely short solo campaign.

    Well, it's been a long wait for this game. It was good. Maybe even great but seriously flawed due to brevity of the solo campaign. The multiplayer aspect is sublime, of course. Signature of the series and this game i... Read Full Review

    Bethesda Rocks!

    Fallout 3

    Bethesda Rocks!

    Bethesda Softworks really knows their stuff. The Elder Scrolls series has been phenomenal and who knew they could pull this gem outa' their proverbial butts. I didn't even know they were working on this game. For me, ... Read Full Review

    A fine flick.  Two thumbs up.

    Fable II

    A fine flick. Two thumbs up.

    It is a good game. Maybe not great, but very good. The visuals are crisp, although a zoom function would have improved it greatly. In looking at your own character, you can't zoom in or out. Camera movement is limite... Read Full Review

    This game set a new standard.

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

    This game set a new standard.

    This game revolutionized many aspects of gameplay and raised the bar to a new height. The graphics are incredibly realistic and 3D. The music score is beautiful. The gameplay is challenging. The game map is HUGE. Th... Read Full Review

    Too Human

    Good but not great...

    I have seen that most sites are rating this game pretty low. I don't know why. I think it was a let down because of the hype and the long wait, but it was still a fun game to play. The graphics were good, the story wa... Read Full Review

    Tales of Vesperia

    In my opinion this game was very disappointing. I don't much care much for child-like heroes. The game also seems to have weird dialogue and portrait dialogue (where they have pictures of the characters talk on the scree... Read Full Review

    I know I am going to be crucified for this, but I loved the first one, really liked the second one, but this one? eh... It IS a great story. So much so that I feel like I would have enjoyed it just as much just to wat... Read Full Review

    Assassin's Creed III

    Broken, sloppy, frustrating... but FUN!

    Assassin's Creed III is just broken. At least half my quest lines are missing or broken. I have spent days trying to research online and in the game content that just doesn't seem to exist (at least for me). I can see... Read Full Review
