Prototype

The definitive point form Prototype review.

THE GOOD - Interesting to play an uber powerful anti-hero. - Immensely gratifying to run through the city with super powers. Easily kill 2 or 3 hours just wall running, jumping, gliding, and smashing into the ground. ... Read Full Review

BioShock

If, like me, you kept passing this game over, check out my review and learn what you're missing!!

THE GOOD - The story delivers. The single most compelling story I've ever seen in a shooter. Its brilliantly written. - Superb, and I mean SUPERB artistic direction. An art-deco world gone mad at the bottom of the s... Read Full Review

Red Faction: Guerrilla

Everything you need to know before buying / renting Red Faction, in point form for your convenience

THE GOOD - Destructible environments like only Red Faction can do. You'll be wondering why every other shooter can't have the same! - Beautiful explosions. - Beautiful martian landscape. Very convincing. - Very coo... Read Full Review

UFC Undisputed 2009

The honest gamer's straight dope on a game he REALLY wanted to love.

Oh I wanted to love this game so much. Unfortunately for me, its a bust. Rent this game first because you will either love it or hate it. Those who love it, are likely those able to grasp unbelievably complex contro... Read Full Review

Halo 3

Delivers!

Normally I'm a PC gamer. I splurged on an XBox back in the day and a room mate and I played the hec out of Halo 1. Halo 2 never caught my eye. So when I got a 360 for a birthday, I decided to take a shot at Halo 3 ... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Superb! A worthy successor to the GTA franchise.

A worthy successor to the GTA franchise. All the beautifull freeform play you ever wanted but now way WAY bigger. I know I'm reviewing an "older" game but this is just one title that I never put away. Some of my fav... Read Full Review

Sid Meier's Civilization III

Complete crap. Unworthy of the franchise!

The game positively smacks of zero playtesting. If anyone had taken one play through before release they would have realized. - Interceptors just plain old don't work. Ever. - Older weaker units lose to modern units ... Read Full Review

Kung Fu Panda

The game is just bad. Point form for your easy enjoyment.

Graphics? Dated, bland, lifeless, and uninspired. Sound? Repetitive and annoying. Not that fly-by-your-ear annoying... I'm talking about rage inducing. I pretty much guarantee you'll avoid jumping only 10 minutes ... Read Full Review

Fallout 3

Point form for your reading pleasure. Cuz you have a busy life!

AWESOME: Sandbox "go anywhere, do anything" environment characteristic of Bethesda roleplaying games does not disappoint. AWESOME: Stunningly beautiful post-apocalyptic environment coupled with excellent artistic de... Read Full Review

Condemned 2

The Condemned Rookie's Review

I really wanted to like this game. It obviously has the dark moodiness for those looking for it. Its also flirts on the razor's edge of insanity. So, full points on atmosphere and creepiness, but everything else was j... Read Full Review

Rock Band

Rock Band review for the 30+ demographic

Its hard to write one review for Rock Band, as playing with friends is such a vastly different experience than playing solo. So lets talk solo first. By yourself, or two people swapping play time, the game is OK. T... Read Full Review

Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword

Straight dope on Civ4:BTS in bullet form for those on the go!

- MOST IMPORTANT: This expansion includes all the content from the Warlords expansion except for the Scenarios. Not knowing this nearly cost me an extra few bucks when I actually settled to buy. - Unique buildings, ... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed

The straight dope on Assassin's Creed, in point form for those on the go.

- Unbelievable parkour chase system? CHECK! - Wide array of deadly sneak attacks? CHECK! - Ultra satisfying fighting system? CHECK! - Breathtaking level design and scenery? CHECK! - Beautifully integration of gam... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto IV

Yet another insightful review you'll likely skip. ;)

It was an agonizing wait. But there I was in my living room getting ready to play a GTA title on a console for the first time. We already know how beautiful the game looks... but how does it play? First, lets talk a... Read Full Review

Sid Meier's Civilization IV

In my lifetime if I could give 10 to one game and one game only, it would be Civ 4

After the debacle that was Civ3, "Sid Meier" became the apex epithet in my vocabulary, reserved only for the most heartless of traitors or untrustworthy of incompetents. Once I experienced Civ4, I realized that Sid had ... Read Full Review

Dead Rising

Great ideas burried in bad execution.

I thought I would love this game. I wanted to love this game. It had all the potential to be one of those "magic" gripping games. But now I don't even want to touch it. - Endless slaughter of mindless zombies? Che... Read Full Review

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

It didn't live up to its predecessors

Don't get me wrong, the game is pretty, but something about the soul of the Elder Scrolls game just wasn't there. My disappointment is focused around 3 areas. LEVEL SCALING When the whole world levels with you, ther... Read Full Review
