Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Review: Massively Multiplayer Robot Battles To Die For
The first Transformers movie’s game tie-in from Traveller’s Tales was a disappointing mess. That’s why for the second movie, Activision handed development duties to LuxoFlux to mixed results. Just like you expect from a Michael Bay movie, the game version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has a retardedly weak story, with some pretty illogical [...]
Fight Night Round 4 Review: Excellent Game, Same Rapid Punching Problem
I’ve never been a fan of the Fight Night series. For some reason, I always thought the game always encouraged a “rock ‘em, sock ‘em” approach that took strategy out the window during competitive mode. Fight Night Round 4 somewhat remedies the propensity for wild, armalite-style punching by implementing a new recovery system that rewards [...]
Ghostbusters Review: Classic Franchise, Average Game
Were you waiting for the Ghostbusters title to come out? If you were, I’d gander a guess you were a child of the 80s, or at least the next couple of years after it. With the source material as a base, I have little doubt this will be an enjoyable ride, regardless of the actual [...]
Prototype Review: Good Game, Bad Hype
Prototype Review: Good Game, Bad Hype The long wait amidst the hype is over and we’ve finally got our hands on Prototype. After two years of high claims and raised expectations, however, it’s difficult for a game not to underwhelm. Sadly, that’s exactly the case with Prototype. As the vengeful amnesiac Alex Mercer, you play [...]
The Sims 3 Review: Running Lives Can Still Be Fun Four Years Later
Delayed for over three months and four years apart from its last iteration, The Sims 3 is finally available. In many ways, it remains the same polarizing game that you’ll either love or abhor – both with passion. This version of the game sees a widely expanded world with plenty of the old boundaries broken [...]
Red Faction Guerilla Review: Open-World Destruction
If you haven’t noticed yet, I’m enamored with open-world games on the console. Even without the online option, I’ve always been hooked since the day I laid my hands on GTA III. As such, most any game of that bent gets my first-hand treatment (e.g. inFamous, Godfather) - Red Faction Guerilla is no different. Mars is the location [...]
InFamous Review: Is This The Game To Save The PS3 From Itself?
The first few times I saw screenshots of the exclusive PS3 title Infamous, I was blown away. It looked so good, it made me want to get a PS3 at home (instead of playing at wherever I can get my hands on it). Luckily, I didn’t. For all the amounts of amazing (sorry, been following [...]
UFC 2009 Undisputed Review: Real Fighting Comes To Gaming Consoles
The past five years have seen the UFC come up from a growing sport into a legitimate mainstream fascination, with recognizable stars and household names among its roster of fighters. Unlike all other popular spectator sports, though, MMA continued to lack a good console title, with previous efforts proving to be barely playable and uninspired [...]
Chronicles Of Riddick: Assault On Dark Athena Review
You’ve probably been exposed to Riddick in some form, either with the classic Xbox game or the series of movies starring Vin Diesel. This new 360 release, Chronicles Of Riddick: Assault On Dark Athena, looks to revive the franchise back to life. How well does it fare? To put it succinctly, not so well. Dark [...]
Godfather II For The PS3: Almost Good
The first Godfather game was a pretty decent open-world action title. As such, I was excited with the promise of this new game, when its details were first announced last year. Instead of another GTA rip-off, it promised something more creative, allowing you to manage various resources, including businesses and personnel, on your way to [...]
