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...

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...

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...

Kane and Lynch 2: Do...

All Bark, No Bite I enjoyed the first Kane and Lynch – it captured the feeling of classic “heist” movies – and I wanted to like Dog Days just as much. Unfortunately, I didn’t. The game consists of a raw, job gone bad plot – containing a few scenes that...

Transformers: War fo...

You can’t go wrong with transforming robots wielding huge weapons beating each other into scrap metal. This is a recipe for fun, and Transformers: War for Cybertron is certainly fun — but unfortunately that’s all it is. The game doesn’t do anything wrong — the...

Naughty Bear (1000 Character Review) Sep13

Naughty Bear (1000 C...

It’s Na-Na-Na-Naughty Time! Naughty Bear is different; both in concept and gameplay. With the protagonist cast as an unloved teddy bear, the objective isn’t merely to attack and kill the other, more adorable, teddy bears (who treat you very poorly), but to torment them. If you...

World of Keflings (1000 Character Review) Jul11

World of Keflings (1...

No Conflicts. Just Labors Of Love. I don’t think games come more laid back than World of Keflings. Controlling your personalized Xbox Live Avatar you get to aid the simple minded — yet thoroughly humours — Kefling population with building their Kingdom across three distinct...

Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions (1000 Character Review) Jul05

Spiderman: Shattered...

With a hero as physically nimble as Spiderman is supposed to be, the first challenge Shattered Dimensions needed to tackle was the fluidity of character control. Thankfully game excels in the area. There is hardly a moment in the game — save for a few instances where the camera zooms...
