Lego Batman

Holy Lego's Batman!!

A Review By Dark Prince in Xbox 360 » Adventure

Lego Batman: The Video Game is 5th game in line of Lego games from Traveller's Tales that have recently been brought out in full circle. We've had a jump from the exciting Star Wars universe, to Indiana Jones (which flapped a bit) to the recent release of Lego Batman. Many have hyped this title, while others have shrugged it off claimi...

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

He no nuts, he's crazy!

A Review By thebaroness in Xbox 360 » Adventure

Being a huge fan of the Indiana Jones movies and also the Lego Star Wars games, I knew that I HAD to preorder this game.  The game captures the magic that is Indy!  However my main problem with this game is that the levels of each "movie" are much too short.  My husband and I teamed up to play the story mode in co-op mode a...

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

"I'm very little! You cheat very big!"

A Review By Camel in Xbox 360 » Adventure

Throughout this review I make a lot of coparisons between Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones.  I do this mostly because I feel that people who loved Lego SW will be the people who are most interested in checking out Lego Indy.   YAY Thwarting the plans of the Third Reich, Lego style (before the game was released, some...

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

A Solid Post Mortem

A Review By Siraris in PlayStation 3 » Adventure

Most reviews of games concentrate on providing a spoiler free, unbiased look at a game, with the intent purpose of informing individuals about whether or not they should buy a game.  While this type of review is tried and tested, it limits the view of the game based on the simple fact that the reviewer is not allowed to really discuss the ga...

Platform: PlayStation 3 Genre: Action Release Date: June 12, 2008 Publisher: Konami Developer: Kojima Productions By Rangebar Merani With 20 years of gaming in the Metal Gear series, it was tough to see the series come to an end, but what a beautiful ending it was.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot

Drunker, Darker, Weirder: a Review of Condemned 2

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 ...

Monkey Island Trilogy

The (Mis)Adventures of Guybrush Threepwood, Pirate

A Review By JediSanf in PC » Adventure

They're shouldn't be many gamers out there that are not in some way familiar with Guybrush, Elaine, the Dread Pirate LeChuck, and everyone's favorite talking head Murry but, since our generation is now birthing baby gamers who will never appreciate the wonder of VGA gaming, herein lies a concise history of the Monkey Island Trilogy, the games dep...

Clive Barker's Jericho

Horribly Beautifully Flawed

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...

Lost Winds

A Gentle Breeze to Turn the Tide

A Review By tomippen in Wii » Adventure

With WiiWare launching so far behind XBLA and the Playstation Store, it really needed to make a statement and establish itself as soon as possible. Of the six launch titles, I’ve only played one: Lost Winds. From this bite-sized experience, I can already tell you that the challenge has been met, and the bar has been raised. It&r...

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure

All of the nostalgia, none of the drawbacks

A Review By FoodNipple in Wii » Adventure

Occasionally you'll hear the lamentations of a PC gamer adorned with rose-tinted glasses, wishing that adventure games still existed. Hindsight tends to forget the countless hours spent wandering around cluelessly, slowing examining each pixel for overlooked interactive nodes. Zack and Wiki has all of the puzzle solving goodness you yearn f...

Lost: Via Domus

The ultimate in fan service

A Review By Mitchell in PlayStation 3 » Adventure

Lost is a complex show. It is a show that will completely lose you if you miss even one episode. It is also a portrait of the kind of powerful, moving beauty that media can become. A show that turns a realistic accident into something that can be questioned as fate. A show that will fry your brain with unquestionably bizarre scenarios, but gives ...

Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol

Dance, Chibi-Robo, Dance!

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 ...

Metal Gear Solid

Tonight I'm Gonna Party Like it's 1998

A Review By Devilturnip in PC » Adventure

When Metal Gear Solid was released in 1998, it was a breath of fresh air. Featuring great graphics, a compelling storyline, and novel game play concepts, the first entry in this storied franchise absolutely captivated me. It was, and remains, one of the few games captivating enough to carry me through multiple play throughs. As Konami recentl...

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney

Here Comes Justice!

A Review By Camel in Nintendo DS » Adventure

YAY The humor and gameplay from the Phoenix Wright series remains intact. The graphics have been given a slight upgrade. It's nothing amazing, and the judge looks completely unchanged (which may have been a conscious decision), but it's definitely a noticeable difference overall. There are new ways to interact with evidence and ...
