A Review By Siraris in Xbox 360 » Action
For me, personally, there are few titles that come along and take me by surprise. I spend so much time researching, listening, watching to all the information that I can on most games, that I am invariably sure on whether I will enjoy a game or not before I even play it. Dead Space was a title that I didn't expect to enjoy that much b...

A Review By Harbinger in Xbox 360 » Action
With EA being the epitome of all that is wrong in the video-game industry for years, it seems they have turned a corner for their spotted and unimaginative career. Trying to buck the trend of mediocre to god-awful movie based games, yearly rehashes of the same game, and just plain bad projects, they have delivered one of the most interesting and ...

A Review By Shodan2020 in Xbox 360 » Action
Volition, the same developers who brought you the most excellent Descent: Freespace, and Red Faction games (ok, not so much, RF2). Have given us Saints Row, a gang-oriented sandbox game in the fictional city of Stilwater. You play the role of a poor schlub in the city's Mission Beach district who almost becomes a casualty of gang-related vi...

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 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...

A Review By alienmastermind in Xbox 360 » Action
Well, I must say that a lot has kept me from writing about video games. Namely, writing and drawing Dipswitch for the site. But, I digress. The latest in the Star Wars branded video games, The Force Unleashed, is a masterpiece. I've wanted to dismember this damned game. But each time I play, it reminds me what happens when George Luca...

A Review By Tel Prydain in Xbox 360 » Action
This is a hard review to write, because few other games have split the gaming community quite so much as Alone in the Dark. Sites that normally give generous scores are giving this game scores as low as three out of ten, while other sites known for marking harshly are giving it eight out of ten. Alone in the Dark is an old school action adventu...

A Review By Tel Prydain in Xbox 360 » Strategy
I first played Civilisation on our family’s XT PC in the early nineties - you had the option of playing it in 16-colour EGA or 256-Colour VGA; and it ruled a significant part of my childhood. This is not an uncommon scenario and since then the franchise has sold over eight million copies. And that’s not including the ‘Call to Po...

A Review By Tel Prydain in Xbox 360 » Action
Last year was a behemoth year for gaming. With high profile releases ranging from Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3, to Bioshock, Assassins Creed and Mass Effect – there was something for everyone. It’s therefore somewhat understandable that some games might get overlooked, and such was the case for Overlord. Overlord was a unique game; putt...

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...

There is already a great review of the game by Shodan2020, found here, so I will not repeat what has already been said. Instead, I'm going to review this games co-op experience. This is one of those games where having the artificial intelligence replaced by a person on the couch next to you can lead to hours of fun. ...

A Review By Texas Speed in Xbox 360 » Action
Please don't take that title the wrong way. While some gamers no doubt feel that way about playing the game, I certainly don't. What it really refers to is the true strength of Too Human's gameplay. I've put a lot of hours into this game. I've been through the story multiple times, and replayed levels outside of the story co...

A Review By Shodan2020 in Xbox 360 » Sports
Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 is a sharp looking "vacation" sim. You choose your favorite Dead or Alive girl and follow her on a 2 week vacation on Zack Island. The story is extremely ludicrous. Zack and his girlfriend, Niki, recover Zack Island from the depths of the ocean (I guess it sank in the first one.) using a flare that aler...

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed had so much potential. I'll admitthat I have been watching this game since the first concept arts were uploadedonto the official star wars website. As a Star Wars fan, what more could Iwant? A next gen jedi game supposed to take the force to the next level?Awesome!However, the game does not live up to its potent...

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...

A Review By Siraris in Xbox 360 » Action
I did, and I'm sorry. The commercial is too good not to reference, and in some ways is too good for the game it is promoting. You watch the commercial with the catchy yet simplistic tune that many have admitted to getting stuck in their head for days, the beautifully crisp CG, and you are enticed. When I hadn't seen a commercial...

Kane and Lynch: Dead Men was an extremely overhyped game before and when it came out. However, that doesn't mean it's a bad game. It's just not as good as you were lead to believe. You are Kane, an ex-con who was sprung out of prison by a fellow inmate named Lynch who is working at the behest of a group that you supposedly...

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. ...

My next review will have a Ninja Squad comic, and some pretty pictures with captions, I promise. It's just that I had to get this off my chest as soon as I could. -- AM I'd like to take the time to come clean with you fine readers. In the interest of full disclosure, I should let you guys and girls know that I didn't play Two Worlds for mor...

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 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...

To confess, I did not complete Ninja Gaiden 2. I found it to be too hard for me. Not in the good hard, such as Geometry Wars or Ninja Gaiden 1 which taught me to quit being a bitch and to mix it up and move around. First Off, Ninja Gaiden 2 features a camera that would be considered horrible for an action game in the year 2003.&n...

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? Now, opposite question: Say a game is completely original, has a bunch of things that's never been done before, but it's not all that fun. Do you give it t...

As usual, any and all images I use will be graciously donated via IGN.com. Army of Two is probably one of the greatest buddy games I've seen in a long time. It has a feel to it that one would get from watching the action buddy movies from the 80s, such as 48hrs, Tango and Cash. You play as either Salem or Rios, t...

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 ...
