The Walking Dead: Ep...

A New Day is a throw back to the great point and click adventure games of the later nineties. The game plays out as an interactive episode of the Walking Dead TV series, and like it’s AMC counterpart, the game focuses more on the interactions and relationships with your fellow...

Captain America: Sup...

Captain America: Super Solider caught me off guard. Typically movie licensed games are rushed and lacking in quality. This is probable the best “licensed” game I’ve played; even one of the better non-triple A titles I’ve played in a while. The controls feel tight and...

Iron Man 2

I’m not sure if it’s because I just had such a positive experience with a movie licensed game (Captain America), or if it simply lack production value, but either way Iron Man 2 was a disappointment. It does just about everything wrong. The controls are unresponsive and...

My Month At The Movi...

My Month at the Movies is a recap of the movies I’ve watching during the month, and my brief thoughts about them. Colombiana If any other actress was cast in the title role of Colombiana, the movie would not have worked as well as it did. Zoe Saldana makes this movie. Outside of her...

Duke Nukem Forever

Duke is back! And he’s starting to show his age. I’m sad to report that all of the negative criticisms regarding Duke Nukem Forever are absolutely true. It’s graphics are dated, it’s story paper thin, the sound is tolerable, the level designs are uninspired, the load...

Marvel Heroes: The Infinity Gauntlet Apr10

Marvel Heroes: The I...

There should be no confusion about it. Marvel Heroes: The Infinity Gauntlet is a children’s game. Unfortunately I don’t mean along the lines of a Toy Story 3 or Spiderman: Fiend or Foe, which could be appreciated/enjoyed by all ages. From it’s oh-so-cuddly character design...

Fright Night (1000 Character Review) Mar28

Fright Night (1000 C...

I should offer full discloser: I can’t compare Fright Night against the original because I never saw it. I watched the movie not knowing what to expect, or even what the premise was about. Not that it should be compared to the original, but I wouldn’t mind knowing how scary it...

My Lucky Life In and...

From the recollection of the events in his professional life — behind the scenes of The Dick Van Dyke Show, stories of meeting Walt Disney while filming Marry Poppins, and even the surprisingly negative experience filming Chitty Chitty Bang Bang — to the interests and struggles of...

Star Wars: Force Unl...

Force Unleashed II is a fun game that could be appropriately named Star Wars: Rise of the Bad-A. You’ll spend your play time Force pushing and pulling Storm Troopers, throwing them around like rag dolls; disintegrating countless waves of foes with Force lightning; and running around...

Elder Scrolls V: Sky...

I’m in love with Skyrim — it should be played regardless of your gaming preferences, even if you’ve never played an Elder Scrolls game. Though it’s worth noting for long time fans series there are generous references to both Oblivion and Morrowind — fan service...

Call of Duty: Black Ops (1000 Character Review) Feb23

Call of Duty: Black ...

For me, Call of Duty: Black Ops felt like it rolled off the first person shooter assembly line — there isn’t anything new to make it stand out from any other first person shooters. The tried-and-true formula of pickup a gun, shoot at stuff, then rinse and repeat is ever present...

Assassin’s Cre...

Brotherhood is a triple A title and as such is the benefactor of endless reviews online; there is really no reason for me to pick apart the game ad-nauseum. What I would like to comment on is it’s place in the the Assassin’s Creed series as a whole. The series does something...

Batman: Arkham City

It’s not possible to use a mere 1000 characters for a review and do Batman: Arkham City any justice. The game is a masterpiece and should be played by both Batman fans and general video game fans. It improves on the few minor issues of Arkham City while simultaneously raising the bar...

Homefront

What sets Homefront apart in the endless supply of shoot-first-think-later First Person Shooters (FPS) is it’s perfectly executed storytelling. Cast as an American refugee thrown unwillingly into an underground resistance movement, the game does an excellent job with both character...

Tron: Evolution

If 2009′s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time had a love child, it would be Tron:Revolution. Taking place before the events of the movie tie in, Tron Legacy, the story is the only aspect that separates the game play styles of the three games. They play...

X-Men Arcade

For a Arcade game originally released in 1992, X-Men Arcade has done very well in standing up against the test of time. Released to Xbox Live Arcade nearly 20 years after it’s original incarnation, to appropriately review the game you really only need to ask one question: “Is the...
