BioHazard 4

By harrymfa | Review Date: Nov 14, 2011 | PS3

Slowdown, no Move controls, outdated textures. Half-baked attempt by Capcom to milk this cow again.

I'm not going to hide that Resident Evil 4 is one -if not- my favorite videogame ever. Though I'm quite upset I can't play my PS2 disk on my PS3 slim, I'd happily cough up the money for a well-deserved HD update. Well, t... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: Black Ops

By harrymfa | Review Date: Nov 14, 2011 | PS3

Going Back in Time

You saw it first with Tony Hawk, then with Guitar Hero. Now, Call of Duty falls victim to Activision's corporate greed and policy of milking a franchise until every ounce of its soul is drained. This game doesn't feel... Read Full Review

3D Dot Game Heroes

By harrymfa | Review Date: Jul 24, 2010 | PS3

You could call it Lego Zelda

I don't know how copyright laws work on these things, but this game is the equal of one of those tribute bands that tour all over the world playing songs from the original band we all know. Is it bad? No, specially if yo... Read Full Review

E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial

By harrymfa | Review Date: May 03, 2010 | 2600

Behold: The worst videogame of all time

I'm reviewing E.T. to see if I can give a game a "zero" score, which is not possible on this site. For guys younger than 35, here's the context: In the summer of 1982, E.T. is the biggest movie ever made. E.T. merchandis... Read Full Review

Batman: Arkham Asylum

By harrymfa | Review Date: Apr 27, 2010 | PS3

"The Dark Knight" of videogames

With a few exceptions, superhero videogames are right down there with movie videogames as the lamest genres to play. Batman: Arkham Asylum shatters that stigma and then some. The top-notch graphics and gameplay are one t... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

By harrymfa | Review Date: Apr 27, 2010 | PS2

An ode to the 80s

Part Miami Vice, part Scarface, Vice City is the GTA game that not only gets the atmosphere, but also the period right. They got the period's neons and pastel colors right, the Patrick Nagel art-style babes, and the most... Read Full Review

Bayonetta

By harrymfa | Review Date: Apr 27, 2010 | PS3

Nice action game if you can tolerate the cheesiness.

Forgive me if I sound rude, but I guess you have to be Japanese or understand their sensitivities to get Bayonetta. The game is such a cheese-fest it's almost unplayable for a person who doesn't have the patience nor the... Read Full Review

Army of Two

By harrymfa | Review Date: Apr 26, 2010 | PS3

Decent shooter best suited for multiplayer.

The road of hell is paved with good intentions. Army of Two has great ideas poorly implemented. The single player has a bit to be desired, but the multiplayer is what this game is all about . The first thing you'll get o... Read Full Review

Bejeweled 2

By harrymfa | Review Date: Feb 10, 2012 | PS3

Has Playstation Move potential

Let's face it: Bejeweled 2 is a mobile game. It's more suited for the PSP (which you can play it with using remote playing) than the PS3. The graphics and music, though high definition, are still a glorified version of a... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Platinum)

By harrymfa | Review Date: Apr 27, 2010 | PS3

A must-have in every PS3 library

I really wanted to give this game a perfect score. Unfortunately, there are too many, ahem, "imperfections" to qualify it as a 10/10 perfect. I can't conceive how a game that pays so much attention to detail has such hor... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection

Missing tons of extras. Better get games individually.

This package, which collects the first three games in the Metal Gear Solid trilogy, it's meant for gamers new to the series rather than fans. The essential problem with this is that new converts can possibly find the thr... Read Full Review

Less like the Resident Evil games, more like the Resident Evil movies.

When Resident Evil 2 came out, it raised the bar so high that Resident Evil 3 felt more like an afterthought. Resident Evil 5 is history repeating. Resident Evil 4 was so breakthrough, the sequel had big shoes to fill. U... Read Full Review

Resident Evil 4

The perfect survival (action) horror game.

If there is a formula for great videogames, it must be great level design, tight controls, nice visuals, smooth learning curve and most important, unforgettable moments. Nintendo franchises are popular for that (Zelda, M... Read Full Review
