Far Cry 2

By mattmalignancy | Review Date: Feb 21, 2009 | PS3

A gorgeous environment, diverse cast, and interesting gameplay mechanics make up for the minor flaws.

Far Cry 2 takes place in a fictional modern-day Central African nation in a state of anarchy and civil war. The player takes control of a mercenary on a lengthy journey to locate and assassinate "The Jackal," a notorious... Read Full Review

Clive Barker's Jericho

By mattmalignancy | Review Date: Jan 30, 2009 | PS3

Takes a few hours to understand the gameplay mechanics, but once you catch on this game is a lot of fun.

Jericho is a squad-based FPS from legendary writer and director Clive Barker. The plot of this game seems simple, destroy the root of all evil. But as the game progresses, you go deeper and deeper into a complex and intr... Read Full Review

Silent Hill: Homecoming

By mattmalignancy | Review Date: Jan 18, 2009 | PS3

Homecoming does not live up to the legacy of it's previous games, but is still a great addition to the series.

Silent Hill: Homecoming is a great addition to the SH series, and makes a pretty decent entry to the next-gen systems. Homecoming revolves around the character of Alex. A veteran from the war who returns to his hometown,... Read Full Review

Condemned 2

By mattmalignancy | Review Date: Nov 30, 2008 | PS3

Condemned is more than welcome to the PS3.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot is the first, and only, Condemned game on the PS3 system. The first game, Condemned: Criminal Origins, was only released on the 360, which is a bit of a disappointment for those who don't own a 360... Read Full Review

Dead Space

By mattmalignancy | Review Date: Nov 30, 2008 | PS3

While Dead Space satisfies your appetite for gore, it leaves you wondering if you've already been here before.

EA decided to give a gore-loving gamers something to scream about, because Dead Space is definitely the most violent game I've seen on a new console. So violent, in fact, that I question how they managed to sneak past th... Read Full Review

Tomb Raider: Underworld

By mattmalignancy | Review Date: Nov 30, 2008 | PS3

Crystal's graphics can't make up for a weak story and dull gameplay.

I will admit that I am very biased towards Tomb Raider. I love Core Design, the original games were a thousand times better than Crystal Dynamics. But I've been more than generous with chances and forgiving towards Cryst... Read Full Review

Manhunt 2

By mattmalignancy | Review Date: Nov 30, 2008 | PSP

The sequel to Manhunt leaves fans satisfied, but craving more.

I'd like to start off by saying that this game went through hell before it was finally released, and personally I think that the ESRB was just holding a grudge against Rockstar. Dead Space and Condemned 2 got away with p... Read Full Review

Alone in the Dark

By mattmalignancy | Review Date: Nov 30, 2008 | PS2

Alone in the Dark is an unforgivable mess.

Let me begin by saying with full confidence that Atari's new game, Alone in the Dark, is the worst PlayStation 2 game ever made. It has the worst game play I've ever experienced, terrible graphics, no apparent plot, and ... Read Full Review
