    I am amazed at the lack of objectivity in the user reviews here.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

    I am amazed at the lack of objectivity in the user reviews here.

    First of all let me just say to the BF3 lovers that they have every right to love that game as it is an amazing game. I personally think GS underrated it and deem it worthy of a 9. But this is my review of MW3. And ... Read Full Review

    Very ambitious and totally unique

    Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad

    Very ambitious and totally unique

    This game is an FPS strictly speaking, but it does not play like any other FPS. It is accessible in that you can pick up your mouse and start shooting people, but shooting is not the primary focus of the game. Completi... Read Full Review

    A game that needs to be played in its entirety to properly grasp, review, and appreciate.

    LIMBO

    A game that needs to be played in its entirety to properly grasp, review, and appreciate.

    I had heard many good things about Limbo, but tend to be somewhat less inspired by indie games than many who review them seem to be. I always seem to be interested for awhile, but seldom actually complete them. (Braid ... Read Full Review

    Better than IGN says, but not as good as some people seem to think.

    Prototype (2009)

    Better than IGN says, but not as good as some people seem to think.

    Reviews are a subjective lot and so I will throw in my own subjective experience with this game to date. I will not bore people with how the game begins as all reviews seem to talk about that. Strengths: The abili... Read Full Review

    Fun beat em up game with lots of odd environments and a story that is not the usual

    Fun beat em up game with lots of odd environments and a story that is not the usual

    Well another swing and a miss for a GS reviewer. Pardon the wordplay on the game. Regardless Zeno Clash is actually a very fun game. As noted by most the environments are really quite enjoyable and the world that ha... Read Full Review

    A very engaging short single player and a good if somewhat too small multi-player effort.

    Homefront

    A very engaging short single player and a good if somewhat too small multi-player effort.

    This is a solid effort from Kaos and THQ. It is not perfect, but does well. The single-player is easy to pick up and has an engaging story. It is not too long, but as others have said it leaves you wanting more. And ... Read Full Review

    Better than vanilla BC2.

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam

    Better than vanilla BC2.

    Did Activision pay GS to downplay this game? This is one of the best expansions I have ever played. It is essentially a full fledged game, but you don't have to rerank to enjoy everything. It sells for less than 4 rec... Read Full Review

    Call of Duty: Black Ops

    This is the best COD I have played to date and one of the best balanced.

    For me BO is one of the best COD games to date. It is very balanced. By this I mean anyone can do well and get kill streaks without being amazing at playing. The best part is the different gametypes that can be played... Read Full Review

    Great game with some more potential to be optimized.

    Crysis

    Great game with some more potential to be optimized.

    There is clearly no better looking game than Crysis. It is photrealistic and captivating with some really WOW moments throughout the game. The guns look amazing and the enemy AI is pretty good. The nanosuit is very co... Read Full Review

    Fantastic multi-player game

    Rayman Raving Rabbids 2

    Fantastic multi-player game

    RRR2 is a much better multi-player game than RRR1. Having said so I think the single player is not as good as the previous game. I feel as though the single player is not held together by any plot whatsoever. However,... Read Full Review

    Fantastic and fun.

    Super Mario Galaxy

    Fantastic and fun.

    Galaxy is better than sunshine for many subtle reasons. Sure you have a central hub world like the island in Sunshine or the castle in 64 and Bowser took the castle away with chains a la Paper Mario and Princess Peach i... Read Full Review

    Gears of War

    Fantastic game and worth the purchase

    So I have to say I get slightly irritated by the comparisons of this game to the XBOX 360 one. Of course it is similar as it has everything the 360 has and more. The graphics are better assuming you are running a good ... Read Full Review

    Fantastic looking game. Easy to pick up if you have played any of the other COD games. Modern warfare.

    I was glad to hear Infinity Ward was involved in the development of this game. They know how to make really good and enduring online games. The single player portion of the game is good, but short. This does not bothe... Read Full Review

    Half-Life 2

    Halflife 2 is the best single player game for xbox.. Counterstrike is a so-so online game and adds nothing.

    Although I can understand the opinion of the reviewer at Gamespot it is important to recognize that they are absolutely comparing Halflife 2 for Xbox with Halflife 2 for PC. Although this is probably unavoidable it is n... Read Full Review

    Gamespot only has it partly correct. This game is better than their review implies.

    I have been playing this game for maybe 10 hours or so now and I cannot stop playing and thinking about it. I had a similar experience with Oblivion, but this world is more immersive because it is a variant of our world... Read Full Review

    There are no surprises here. This is simply one of the best RPGs you can play
