Patapon
February 26, 2008
Addictive, mesmerizing, infuriating. These are a few words that best describe Patapon. Who knew you could mash together two seemingly unrelated genres: real time tactics and rhythm/music? The game’s simple, whimsical art direction and smooth animation really make it stand out. It reminds me of cave paintings come to life.
Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed
February 25, 2008
It’s refreshing to play an evil bastard sometimes. The Destroy All Humans! series has allowed us to fill that role as Crypto, the grey skinned Furon with a fixation for anal probes. With open ended gameplay, twisted humor, and lots of stuff to destroy, this third entry into the series continues the formula with the obvious addition of motion controls.

I was never big on the original Playstation, but it was mainly because I was a broke high school kid and because my parents had bought me a Nintendo 64. However, things had changed for the better by the time the Playstation 2 hit the market. Read more
MX vs. ATV: Untamed
February 18, 2008
To be honest I don’t know much about motocross and off road racing other than how much I am in awe of those who risk ending up in a full body cast participating in the sport. That being said I had a good time playing MX vs. ATV: Untamed. I had a good time racing as well as good time watching the slow motion breaking of a human body when I wiped out.
Professor Layton and the Curious Village
February 10, 2008
Sometimes, all it takes is a new game in a given genre to remind us why said genre is good. Even a dead one like the Point and Click Adventure genre. Professor Layton and the Curious Village does a fine job of reminding us veteran gamer who loved Point and Click Adventure games why we loved them in the first place. Read more

The Spiderwick Chronicles is a game, based on a movie, based on a series of bestselling books for children. How faithful the game remains to the authors original vision I have no idea, having read neither the books, nor seen the movie. Read more
Turok
February 6, 2008
Say what you will but I feel it’s my duty at least be true with you all. I was one of the few hardcore gamers that owned a N64 and has never, ever played a Turok game, well until now. Read more
My Horse and Me
February 5, 2008
Nothing like riding your horse in the early morning smog.
In My Horse and Me you will be transported into the exciting world of…show jumping. Not racing or jousting, just riding your horse around jumping over obstacles. And doing it again and again and being judged on your performance. If the game featured cars it would’ve been called: “The DMV presents: My Driving Test.”
