I had some Microsoft Credits to use before my “extended get away”. I figured playing dress up with my Avatar in homage to one of the greatest game series ever created was a good enough use…...

Every Xbox game should have Avatar Awards — the fact that they don’t should be a crime. At least my favorite game of the past few years, Alan Wake, was kind enough to include a few in his Arcade follow up. I love him for it....

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: 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...

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...

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...

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...

My time in Skyrim has come to an end. I’ve banished the World Eater, unlocked the secrets of Red Eagle’s Tomb and have risen in the ranks of The Dark Brotherhood, The Companion, The Thieves and The Mages Guilds; I’ve fetched mythological artifacts for the Deadra; traversed...

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...

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...

First steps, first words, first day of school, first good report… there is no shortage of times when I haven’t been bursting at the seams with pride for my little guys. Logan surprised me by accomplishing one such time while playing Peggle on my Xbox. He unlocked not one, but TWO...

Just how awesome a game is it? Yesterday Xbox pushed out a glitched update for the game which deleted my save file (!! Really Xbox?) but I wasn’t upset in the least. In fact, I had been enjoying it so much I’m looking forward to replaying my lost progress. THAT is an awesome game....

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...

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...
