Let’s get this out of the way. Prince of Persia is a really, really easy game. The real question is, is that good or bad? [Read more...]

Tomb Raider was once a shining beacon of goodness in the video game world. Every release was an automatic killer app, and it was so for good reasons. They were different from the rest of the pack at the time, and they were good. But time have passed, and it seems the Tomb Raider series have trouble keeping up. [Read more...]

The Call of Duty franchise reinvigorated and reestablished itself in 2007 when it came out with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the PC in late 2007. What made CoD 4 great was not only the refreshing setting but also the immersive maps, customizable weaponry, provocative storyline, and intense multiplay. [Read more...]

I'm the star of Castlevania! No, I'm the star of Castlevania!
Castlevania Judgment answers the age-old question: if Simon Belmont got into a fight with Alucard, who would win? The answer is nobody, including the player, in what turns out to be a gimmicky and ill-conceived fighting game.

Note: Also on XB 360, PS3, and PS2 with slight differences
Sonic the Hedgehog is back and this time his arch nemesis Eggman has split the Earth into pieces to harness the power of Gaia. Of course it’s up to our hero to set things right. But this time… there’s…a…twist. Cursed with lycanthropy (geek speak for turning into a werewolf, or werehog in this case) Sonic alternates between his true form during the day and the beast at night.

There’s a reason why Strategy games belong on the computer as opposed to the console and Tom Clancy’s End War is a shining example of this rule. [Read more...]

Not too long ago, most First Person Shooters on the console were mostly known for their single player component than their multiplayer component. Call of Duty 2 is a pretty good example of this. Even though it has online multiplayer, the barebones options and limited weapons made it extremely narrow and not very replayable. It was far more renowned for its incredible graphics and ability to immerse players into the hells of World War II. The original Resistance: Fall of Man fell under that same category in that it had a far better single player experience than its multiplayer component. Given that pedigree, Resistance 2 might have ended up the same way, but what we got instead was the complete and total opposite. [Read more...]

The console versions of Tom Clancy’s EndWar are tactical games played in real time, complete with voice commands and high production values. Seemingly as an afterthought, we have the game of the same name for the PSP and the DS, and what results has little in common with its bigger cousin. The handheld version is turn based, and as far as graphics are concerned it looks like it was produced with the leftover budget of its 360 and PS3 brethren.

Not many games can get away with being cutesy, that is unless it’s for kids or the game is so awesome that it’s overlooked and becomes part of its charm. Little Big Planet is, well, frankly it’s both accessible for anyone to play and all the same awesome. [Read more...]
