Prey

Once, just once I wish we would be visited by nice, happy aliens who bring the cure for cancer or something!

A Review By badbadleroybrown in Xbox 360 » Action

How important is innovation to you? Does it really matter? If you play a game, and it's tons of fun, but you've played it in some form a bunch of times before, is the game worse because of it?

AUGH! Why Did I Buy the CHEAP Brain Tumbler?

Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Layton the Bandwagon

A Review By eYak in Nintendo DS » Puzzle

Every once in awhile, a game comes along that celebrates the core value of gaming: fun. Whether it has a cinematic plot, visceral gameplay, or makes you rack your brain trying to come up with a solution (without resorting to GameFAQs or the like) or not, a game can fall short of the one determining factor of its value.
