A Review By Shodan2020 in Xbox 360 » Action
Ah, High School Days... times spent dodging trouble caused, finding that special someone, and egging the occasional stranger. You can do all of this and more in Rockstar Vancouver's Bully: Scholarship Edition. Which is an update to their first offering of Bully for the PS2. ...

A Review By Shodan2020 in Xbox LIVE Arcade » Action
Bionic Commando: Rearmed (BC:R) was one of my most anticipated Xbox Live Arcade releases for this summer. I was a fan of the original NES game, and I was way stoked to see how developer Grin would re-energize Capcom's original title. I was not disappointed. The storyline is pretty much the same from the original game, excep...

A Review By Stupid Fat Hobbit in Xbox LIVE Arcade » Action
If we learned anything from Portal, it’s how a shorter game can offer as complete and fully realised an experience as a big-budget mainstream title. Perhaps even more so, because it can be tighter and more focused. It can dispense with the need to stretch out its ideas to occupy the 8 – 10 hours considered the mandatory minimum f...

A Review By Deadend in Xbox 360 » Action
DICE just... they just don't get what makes Halo 3 work. To give them a hint, being able to see the onscreen action helps. Bad Company is a game that throws particle and smoke around so much you can't see where you should be shooting... too bad the AI ignores it and shoots you. Want to use cover to try and flank AI that is distra...

A Review By King3567 in Xbox LIVE Arcade » Action
I have found that writing an introduction to a review for Braid has been much more difficult than I imagined. So, if you'll all bare with me, I guess I will start it off with this; Braid is the greatest gaming experience so far on this generation of consoles. Pretentious? Maybe, but this game is the first game in a long time that does somet...

A Review By tomippen in Xbox 360 » Action
Man, the FPS arena is a crowded place these days. The market for these games is always growing, but the arena itself is packed full, that’s a fact. However, an unending lineup of perfectly average and uninspiring games made the beautiful shining pillar that is Battlefield: Bad Company be seen all the clearer. Learning that the premise ...

A Review By Siraris in Xbox 360 » Action
When the first videos started to creep out of Battlefield: Bad Company, I started to really get excited for the possibilities that a game like this would offer. From the sassy characters, to the great looking engine, and most of all, the destructable environments, I thought this could not only be fun as a single-player game, but more-so a multi-pl...

A Review By Siraris in Xbox 360 » Driving
Let me preface this by letting the world know that I am in fact a huge lover of Burnout. I felt that Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge were 2 of the best racing games I'd ever played, and easily 2 of the best games of the last generation. There was something so satisfying about the visceral destruction that I could cause with just a flick of an ana...

A Review By GRUMPYgamer in PlayStation 3 » Driving
Burnout paradise sets its self apart from previous installments by providing the player with an open world enviornment. It trys new things and improves on old ones. It is very high on content and will last a while. And it improves the burnout formula with a online mode. So is this racer Pardise or should you leave it in the dust? ...

A Review By willardhaven in PlayStation 2 » Role Playing Game
In 2003 there were a lot of new Japanese RPGs sprouting up for the Playstation 2. Being a fan of Breath of Fire III and IV I chose to buy Dragon Quarter blindly. What I got was not only a great new twist on a weary old genre, but also a great gaming experience period. Dragon Quarter takes place underground in an incredibly dystopian future....

A Review By StinkyCheese in Wii » Action
Bonks Adventure Every company has its mascots. Nintendo has mario, Sega has sonic, Microsoft has master chief, and so on. The PC engine, or TurboGrafx, had Bonk. Nowadays, the average gamer has never heard of bonk. Was it because his game were terrible? Definitely not Bonks Adventure is cheerful, entert...

A Review By Shafnitz in Xbox 360 » Driving
Burnout Paradise is Criterion Games’ first attempt at a true next-generation version of their popular Burnout series. As many already know, some major changes have been made to a formula that has worked well for several years. Was giving this franchise a complete overhaul a wise decision? In a word: Absolutely! To put it bluntly, ...

A Review By grognard66 in PlayStation 3 » Action
Blacksite is a by-the-numbers FPS which hints at greater potential, but is mired by numerous technical flaws and scaled back ambitions. The rudimentary squad controls hint at the more elaborate initial plans for this game, which had to be scaled back due to development problems. The game mechanics are solid enough but the flow of the game is...

A Review By Doctor Setebos in Wii » Strategy
Battalion Wars 2 is (obviously) the sequel to the GameCube Battalion Wars title, which was Nintendo's first attempt at taking the phenomenal strategy and fun of their GBA Advance Wars series and figuring out how badly they can destroy the concept as they move it over to a console. The Wii sequel builds on the foundation of the first game and delive...
