A Review By Siraris in Xbox 360 » Action
Call of Duty 4 is arguably the defining shooter this generation. It did its job so well, that even the venerable Halo 3 was left in its wake. The multi-player component that Infinity Ward developed has, and will be copied for years to come in every way shape and form. Fortunately, and unfortunately, Call of Duty 5 has copied eve...

A Review By Tel Prydain in Xbox 360 » Strategy
Turn based strategy certainly isn’t a genre that is over represented on the 360, and while some won’t see that as much of a loss, those who have been initiated into the mysteries of the turn based strategy fandom know that there are few things more rewarding then thinking up a clever strategy and then crushing your opponents without h...

A Review By biosc1 in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game
I have a confession to make. This is my first RPG on the DS. I've been away from the RPG genre for a long time and I wanted something simple. I also wanted a game that would integrate the touch screen. I know that this game is probably not everyone's first choice, but it was my first choice because I knew that i...

A Review By SPhil64 in Xbox LIVE Arcade » Action
Let's not beat around the bush; Castle Crashers is an excellent game. With that, however, there are a number of flaws/glitches in the final build. Let's start with the good. The first thing that I love (and that you'll notice) is the art style of the game. This is the hard...

A Review By Shrinn in Wii » Role Playing Game
There's no point in hiding it. The Chocobo dungeon games are dungeon crawlers and roguelikes. Those genres carry a lot of repetition in their basic qualities, and the sign of a good game makes that repetition fun. If you liked/loved Chocobo's Dungeon 2, just get this game. It's the definition of a good sequel, keeping the same basic gameplay...

A Review By livE ecivonvA in Wiiware » Sports
Your objective is to find 5 pieces to assemble a legendary bait, and use it to summon a fish god. In order to accomplish this, you must travel to five lakes and get each one from the 1,000-year old fish that inhabit each lake. The wii-mote and nunchuck are used to simulate a fishing rod/reel. You can access your inventory with B to view fis...

A Review By Control Group in Xbox 360 » Adventure
Whenever a game is released to even moderate success, there is an almost instantaneous internet response detailing what fans would like to see fixed for the sequel. Every now and again, the developer listens to those fans. Monolith has done precisely that with Condemned 2: Bloodshot. For better or for worse, the single ...

A Review By thegrok in PC » Adventure
Jericho is Clive Barker's second foray into the medium of interactive entertainment (the first being undying) and while it's not a masterpiece, this game is definitely worth playing. The games visuals bring to live Clive Barker's world of Splatterpunk. Incredibly beautiful and yet horrifying vistas are rendered by a state of the art engine tha...

A Review By gamer odd in PC » Action
This was a game that I looked forward to for a LONG time. I am a complete graphics freak. I love pretty graphics. I get killed in games because I'll stop and stare at a particularly nice texture. I died a LOT in Crysis. GRAPHICS Let me just talk about the graphics to start with because that really is the most apparent merit of thi...

A Review By tashi in Nintendo DS » Adventure
Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol is a wacky, clever, and enjoyable game. I wasn't aware the DS game was a sequel to Chibi-Robo for GameCube, so this review won't be comparing it to its predecessor. Instead, I'll look at it as a standalone handheld title which is pretty fun, but not perfect. Story: I found the story cute and interesting. You are ...
