Our take on games, hardware and accessories
Super Street Fighter IV 3D Review
It’s unanimous among the gaming community that the 2011 class of Nintendo 3DS launch titles were (how can I say this nicely) lame. As a day one consumer of Nintendo’s latest handheld I can honestly say half of the four games I purchased (Pilotwings and Steel Diver) have become dust collectors with eBay written all over them. Nevertheless there were two gems out the bunch that I still enjoy to this...[Read More]
Crysis 2 Review
First person shooters are a dime a dozen nowadays. You can have just about any flavor of realistic or sci-fi based shooter gaming you can imagine. Space marines to jar-heads abound. Crysis 2 is a game that goes somewhere in between with combat akin to Call of Duty wrapped around an alien invasion subplot. This approach may seem to scream generic but somehow the folks at Crytek that developed Crysi...[Read More]
Killzone 3 Review: If Looks Could Kill
This first person shooter by Guerilla Games has been one of the most polarizing games out there. I found Killzone 3 simultaneously disappointing and great. Many great features from the previous iteration were not included and at the same time many new great elements were added and many changes were made. Some changes for the better and some not. SINGLE PLAYER Killzone 3 begins right where the last...[Read More]
Marvel vs Capcom 3 Review
It’s been 10 years since the release of the last Marvel vs Capcom game. Needless to say anticipation for Marvel vs Capcom 3 has been feverishly high. Has Capcom delivered the a game worth the wait? The game is called Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds though the game itself provides little in terms of an actual story. There is no story mode though there are different endings depending on...[Read More]
Little Big Planet 2 Review
Little Big Planet 2 is a puzzle platformer from Media Molecule published by Sony. The story mode takes your sackthings on a side scrolling journey to stop the Negativatron. You can play with friends locally or online though I think the story mode is best experienced with multiple people. Little big Planet 2 is very easy to pick up and play and great for all ages. They have managed to create a game...[Read More]
Dead Space 2 Review: Facing Your Demons
Dead Space 2 is a survival horror third-person shooter developed by Visceral Games and published by Electronic Arts for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. This new game picks up 3 years after the last game ended. The game starts off with Issac Clark waking up on a civillan space colony in a patient testing room with a straight jacket on in a special wing of a hospital. It gets real as ...[Read More]
Mass Effect 2 Review
Mass Effect 2 is an action role-playing game by Bioware and published By Electronic Arts. With the upcoming PS3 release of this game and Mass Effect 3 around the corner I decided to finally fully jump in and see if it lives up to the hype. If you have a save file from the original Mass Effect game then this sequel changes to match decisions you made in the first game. Allies, enemy’s and oth...[Read More]
Tetris PS3 Review: Classic Reborn or Cash In?
Lets face it, Tetris is one of the greatest games of all time. I have lost count on how many Tetris games I have bought over the years. Gameboy, Nintendo DS, iPhone and more. Tetris is great in its simplicity. Someone unfamiliar could watch it played for less than a minute and understand it perfectly. It’s simple and addictive. A timeless classic. This new version of Tetris currently costs $...[Read More]
Monopoly Streets Review
In celebration of the 75th anniversary of this popular board game, Monopoly Streets has hit consoles with fun for the whole family. For those who don’t know, Monopoly involves players moving around a board acquiring property as you go. Each property group is color-coded, and buying the entire group allows you to improve them and thus forcing your opponents who land on them to pay you rent. Your ob...[Read More]

DefJam Rapstar Review
Sing a’ long Karaoke games are no stranger to consoles with games like Singstar and Lips already big success stories, but none of them have interested me like DefJam Rapstar.
John Daly’s ProStroke Golf Review
When I first heard about John Daly’s Pro Stroke Golf, I was excited to try it out. There has been major emphasis on the game having been built from the ground up to take full advantage of the Playstation Move controller tech. Unfortunately, even though the Move controls do work, it is not enough to make it a good game and one worth buying. Especially considering that you can buy Tiger Woods 11, wh...[Read More]
