Sonic the Hedgehog

Furry fanfic? No, it's Sonic the Hedgehog!

A Review By tashi in PlayStation 3 » Action

Sonic has been spiraling out of control since Sonic Adventure 2, or even earlier depending on who you ask. I have loved Sonic since I was a child, and have tried to be faithful, but it is becoming so hard these days. Sonic the Hedgehog, better known as Sonic 360, is awful.Story:Impressive cutscenes tell a story of the present, the future, and peopl...

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

This game doesn't know the power of the dark side.

A Review By badbadleroybrown in PlayStation 3 » Action

Hype is a funny thing. There’s a good kind and a bad kind. The good kind can come from many different places, such as a game coming out of nowhere to sell oodles of copies because of word of mouth or fantastic reviews (Sins of a Solar Empire comes to mind). Then there’s the bad kind: the artificial hype shoveled into our senses by m...

Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution

Rome wasn't built in a day. It took me two hours.

A Review By DurkaDan in PlayStation 3 » Strategy

Ah yes! My first review! I don't have much review experience so I hope my style doesn't offend you or the gods. Enjoy!  Civilization. I have barely known thee yet for a few one-nighters with your classic games. I don't play much of the RTS games these days as my taste in games has changed tremendously since the Age of E...

Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit

KA-ME-HA-ME-HA!!!

A Review By Wakash in PlayStation 3 » Action

Man, I remember coming home straight from school everyday just to make sure I didn’t miss the latest episode of Dragonball Z. And if there was a chance I was going to miss it, I made sure my mom recorded it for me. That’s how bad I was into it. I mean I knew the story was about 20 years old, but I was only about 14 or 15 then and...

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...

Heavenly Sword

"Heavenly" is Short Lived but Worth the Effort

A Review By PugSuperStar in PlayStation 3 » Action

Heavenly Sword, the first offering from development studio Ninja Theory, is a visual and auditory treat and delivers some of the best character performances in a video game in a long while. Ninja Theory fell back upon the ageless action/beat'em-up formula for Heavenly Sword, mixed in some Quick-Time Events (QTEs, think God of War) and some ba...

Resistance: Fall of Man

Proving a game can be both derivative and fun

A Review By grognard66 in PlayStation 3 » Action

RFOM is a game all FPS fans have played numerous times before. You take on the role of a silent, brooding soldier against an invasion of alien hordes in an alternate reality WWI-era shooter. Yeah, it doesn't sound very original and it really isn't. However, the game benefits from a tremendous level of polish (particularly for a launch title), st...

Iron Man

Canned Putrescence

A Review By tomippen in PlayStation 3 » Action

We’re pretty used to this by now in the gaming world. Movies base on toys, television shows, books, older movies, and, of course, comics. Marvel comics, the majority. When looking at Marvel as a whole, Hollywood producers certainly have a rich tapestry to choose from. At this point, the comic-movie market essentially entails finding a ...

Grand Theft Awesome

A Review By roythegamer in PlayStation 3 » Action

Well I was hyped about this game and before its release just getting more excited but I had this feeling it wasn’t going to. So got the game and played it the game and saw everything in the game is an upgrade from the ps2 versions. The gameplay is great, the story is like a great gangster movie and the graphics for the ps3 version just...

Burnout Paradise

Paradise or Not So Nice?

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2

Disappointingly good...

A Review By lost in PlayStation 3 » Action

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 has been described as one sequel too far for the Tom Clancy name. I disagree, it's not a sequel at all. Sequel to me suggests bigger and better everything. This game is not that. This game is a set of missions that should probably have made it into the fairly short first game. That is not to say that the game is une...

MotorStorm

Motorstorm: Shit?, or THE shit?

A Review By GRUMPYgamer in PlayStation 3 » Driving

I must say I was amused for the first half hour. At first you'll notice that your moving 3 miles an hour (unlike the thrilling speed of burnout or need for speed). But that will change once the boost comes in, its a thrilling experience, at first. All the cars and routes you can take. It was very fun. And the crashes, the first few times youll be...

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 ...

BlackSite: Area 51

Unrealized Potential

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...

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Uncharted: Fortunate for gamers, not just Drake

A Review By grognard66 in PlayStation 3 » Action

Uncharted is the best PS3 game I have had the pleasure of playing, to date, and one which my wife and 14 year old son enjoy watching me play. Yes, Uncharted is one of those rare games that is even enjoyable to watch someone else playing. While the game has plenty of shooting and modest gore there is nothing you won't see on primetime televis...

Stranglehold

Woo Done Right

A Review By Jack Random in PlayStation 3 » Action

I've recently worked my way through Stranglehold, the video game sequel to the John Woo 'Heroic Bloodshed' classic, Hard Boiled. 'Worked' is a literal term at times, as the game has an oddly schizophrenic difficulty level that threatened to bitchslap my sanity into oblivion, but by that point i was firmly entrenched and wasn't going to give in unti...

Assassin's Creed

Will it Assassinate the competition?

A Review By masteratt in PlayStation 3 » Action

If a developer decided they wanted to go and create a game that was to be rented, they would make Assassin's Creed.   Why is this Assassin for hire only? I don't like it when reviews make a obscene statement in the first line of the review only to never really explain why they said what they said so I will quickly get out the ...

Rock Band

Rock Band Rocks

A Review By tashi in PlayStation 3 » Puzzle

Rock Band is a lot of fun. It's fun by yourself, with friends, with family, online, fun to watch. $160 or $170 is pretty steep, but it is definitely worth it. Over 60 songs on disc plus new downloadable content every week ensures there will always be more to do on Rock Band. This review is based on the PS3 version. Solo Tour If you've ...

Viking: Battle for Asgard

If Made A Videogame About Vikings, This Would Be It

A Review By Deadend in PlayStation 3 » Action

If a game where you play as a big retarded dude who is about 15 words away from being mute has no appeal at all, go play a long winded RPG or snarky adventure game.  If you want to play a game where the button to skip cutscenes is so large, you almost can't resist, this could be the game for you.  Did you enjoy doing what amounts t...
