Gears of War
A Great Opening Stanza that Leaves me with High Expectations for the Sequels
I realise I am a little late to the party on this game, but Gears 3 is coming out in less than one month, so I thought I'd best get my horde playing in now. I have had the luck of playing the Gears 3 Beta, so when I pic... Read Full Review

inFamous 2
Story Brought Together in the Sequel, but the Same Flaws Mire a Great Game
I was lucky enough to play both inFamous games back-to-back and can say that is a wonderful way to get through a series, but it often leaves you wanting more. It was nice to have the story fresh in my mind as I moved fr... Read Full Review

inFamous
What a Video Game Should Be
A blew through this game in about a week or so and have to say, when I think of video games, this is what I have always imagined, something that keeps me engaged and is just plain fun. The basic story for inFamous is re... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed II
This Sequel Outpaces It's Predecessor
I know I'm super behind on gaming, but I finally got around to completing this game and it was certainly worth the wait. Most people break their reviews up into different segments, but I prefer the summary-type myself. ... Read Full Review

Alone in the Dark
A Sleeper Hit with Clunky Controls
I've completed this game and have achieved 100% of the achievements. I bought this game on a whim, seeing it for $8 in the used section and thought, why not? I wasn't disappointed. For my money, I certainly got the va... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Most Addicting of all the Metal Gear Games
I have to be honest; I picked this up only because it was a Metal Gear game. Before it came out, I hadn't really read anything or seen anything about the game. But knowing it was a Hideo Kojima game was all I really ne... Read Full Review

L.A. Noire
Believe the Hype, but if it Sounds too Good to be True, It Probably Is
I finished this game late last night, and will do some dedicated blogging to it in the coming days, but wanted to get an initial review out. The basic premise of the games is the journey of an officer up the ranks of th... Read Full Review

Ghostbusters: The Video Game
Great Throwback Game to Childhood
This game is by far one of the best movie/TV movies turned into a game that I've ever played. In a very smart move, Atari does not allow you to play as any of the main Ghostbusters, but you play as a new hire and have n... Read Full Review

Prototype
Free Roam Game, but Not Great Variety
I've read a few reviews for this game, but bought this as a recommendation from a friend. It was hit-and-miss for me, honestly. I thought the game would have more power to it, not physical power, but something to draw ... Read Full Review

Resident Evil 5 (Collector's Edition)
Not Scary, But Still a Good Game
When I picked this game up, my first thought was, 'I loved Resident Evil 4, this game will be amazing!' I was half right and half wrong. This game takes the same game mechanics from the predecessor, the over the should... Read Full Review

Dead Space
Redefining the Words 'Scared Pant-less'
Up until this game, I was an avid hater of first-person shooters; this game introduced me to the concept of the third-person shooter. The basic premise of the game panders to one of my greatest fears: the unknown of spa... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed
Worth the Effort put in to get it Just Right
I bought this game, once again, on a recommendation from a friend. This was one of those games I picked up and put down after I got very frustrated with the game play. I'm glad I gave it a second chance, a victory for ... Read Full Review

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II
Force Not So Much Unleashed in This Sequel
Not a bad ride, for sure, but certainly not the best. I have a strange system of playing games in a particular order, this put the first and second game for this series only a few games apart. This made the game a lot ... Read Full Review

X-Men 2: Wolverine's Revenge
Decent X-Game, But Not a Great One
This game had such great potential. It's a comic book and gamers dream to play out Wolverine's life. He has a super cool weapon in those crazy adimantium claws, his health regenerates and he's just plain surly. And ye... Read Full Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Great Throwback to the Old School Turtles Games
This isn't a great game, by any means, but it's certainly a fun one. The story is negligible, at best, but the game play is reminiscent of the old Turtles games that many of us grew up on in the 90's. The animation pul... Read Full Review

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Revolutionised the Star Wars Gaming World
This game is what a Star Wars game should be. The story takes the gamer through a variety of worlds, not unlike a fan fiction, and holds true to the mythology of the original movies. The game follows Darth Vader's heir... Read Full Review

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Not the Best Star Wars Game, But Not the Worst Either
The Star Wars franchise of games has really expanded over the years, sadly getting better only after the last major movie came out. I really enjoyed this game, but more so because you get to play as Anakin before he goe... Read Full Review

Spider-Man: The Movie
Web Slinging Fun in this Movie Adaptation Game
This is what a Spiderman game should be like. The story is pulled straight from the first Spiderman movie and features the same basic storyline with small additions to combat the shortness of action in the movie. Peter... Read Full Review

Snoopy vs. the Red Baron
The Best Snoopy Game Ever!
I picked this game up not really thinking much about it. Snoopy on the cover in a biplane was more than enough to get me past the $10 price tag. I am so glad I did. This is a truly delightful game that even a seasoned... Read Full Review

Snoopy Flying Ace
A Fun Sequel that Forgets the Original
I love Snoopy as the Flying Ace. A dog that thinks he can fly a doghouse and it somehow turns into a World War One bi-plane is just right for me. This game lets Snoopy live out his fantasy as the World War One Flying A... Read Full Review

The Simpsons: Hit & Run

The Simpsons: Road Rage
Put Simply, Simpsons + Crazy Taxi
This game could easily have gone a half a dozen routes, the potential was there, but in the end, the game producers slapped together a game based on a franchise that probably shouldn't have made it out of the testing. T... Read Full Review

Silent Hill: Homecoming
Most Frightening Thing About This Game was Paying That Much and Not Finishing It
Expectations can get the best of us. I didn't have a great experience with Silent Hill 4 and picked this game up hoping it'd be like the 'original' Silent Hill 2. Poor game play and camera angles quickly caught me off ... Read Full Review

Silent Hill 4: The Room

Silent Hill 2 (Special 2 Disc Set)
Terrifying and Haunting, This Game Will Make You Lose Sleep
It starts off like any typical horror movie would, the hero entering a dark, foggy town not knowing what to expect, and although it doesn't deviate from this somewhat predictable plotline, at the same time, it takes the ... Read Full Review

Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights

Resident Evil 4
Terrifying and Thrilling All at the Same Time, Great Game Not to be Missed
I got this as a gift, and was really sceptical, especially given the movies that, while enjoyable, didn't really scare me much. Prior to this game, Silent Hill was the only real survival horror game I'd played. I was w... Read Full Review

Red Dead Redemption
Game of the Year Doesn't Quite Do This Game Justice
So much has been said about this game, and its hard to listen to the praise and not give it a try. That wasn't my motivation for getting it. I'd just bought an Xbox 360 and wanted to play a good game on it. Although I... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia
Visually Stunning, Tedious to Complete
I'd never played Prince of Persia before, and this was a poor start to what I understand is a fantastic game. Right off the bat, you can't be killed, not really – the companion character to the arrogant Prince is a Prin... Read Full Review

Onimusha 2
As Much of a Sequel as Can Be Expected

Heavy Rain
A Thrilling Story and Unique Game Play Make up an Amazing Game
The hype is not over-rated here, and while I'll openly admit that the game is far too short, the concept was enticing, it shouldn't bother you. The story follows a main protagonist, Ethan, but also allows you to play th... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Platinum)
A Great 'Ending' to an Amazing Series
Metal Gear Solid 4 takes the gamer into the future and drops Snake into a war-torn time. Our favourite hero has grown very, very old and by unnatural means and it makes the story both sad and compelling. The story is a... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
A True Addition to the Series, an Excellent Sequel for a Great Series

Epic and Mind Blowing, This Game is Not to be Missed!

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
Exactly What You'd Expect from a Sequel, Nothing New and a Re-Hashing of the Same Story

Max Payne
Brilliant Concept on a Film Noire-esque Game

Genji: Days of the Blade
High Hopes, Poor Sequel to a Great Game
I didn't think twice buying this game. As soon as I saw that there was a sequel to the all-too-short original, I jumped at grabbing this game. As I turned it on today, I noticed my last load was from November of 2009, ... Read Full Review
