Great Despite unexceptional story 0
Cross-posted with my site gammatesting.comKillzone 2 is an expertly made, AAA video game. It’s one of the best looking game I’ve played. The models and animations are fluid and life-like, the details gritty and immersive. This is just a flat out, no denying it, impressive visual experience. The game play is standard, solid First Person fun, on par and in line with next-gen classics like Call of Duty 4 — not quite that good, but in the same ballpark. You run around massive, war-torn neighborhoods...

Just watch Dr. Horrible again instead 0
Cross-posted with my site gammatesting.com. I say this a lot: “Comedy is hard.” I don’t do comedy in my own writing. I throw in some funny here and there, sure, but usually to relieve the tension or because some amusing moment grows out of the larger narrative. But I can’t imagine writing a full on piece of comedy. It’s just too easy to screw up, because few things grate more than bad jokes. Weirdly enough then, the worst part of Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard (Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3)i...

Mad fun, except for the repetitive stress injury 0
Crossposted with my site Gammatesting.com. New release Madworld for the Nintendo Wii: It’s Sin City meets The Running Man meets Escape From New York. What more do you need to know? Well, you should probably know it’s actually just kind of mediocre and occasionally dull, more like The Spirit meets The 6th Day meets Escape From L.A. Anyway, Madworld is a blood-soaked, profanity-laden, super stylish action game for everybody’s favorite family-friendly game console. Before I got my hands on it, I ha...

Lots of Fun, Not Terribly Racist 0
Cross-posted with my site gammatesting.comFirst of all, let’s get the big question out of the way first: Is Resident Evil 5 a racist videogame? Not really. It’s just racially insensitive and culturally clumsy. More on that in a bit. The second big question: Is Resident Evil 5 a good game? Yes it is, depending on how you play it, except for the parts that suck. Capcom had a daunting challenge to follow up the almost universally adored and acclaimed Resident Evil 4, a fun, cool, strange, challengi...

History Repeats Itself 0
Cross-posted with my site gammatesting.com Much like opera, I like professional wrestling in an abstract and nostalgic way more than up close and in person. I used to go to opera a lot actually. I used to watch wrestling every week too. Now I mostly play video games it seems. And while I like an occasional aria, I love the fact that opera's out there and appreciate its rich cultural heritage. I don't think I would actually like watching wrestling any more – Ultimate Fighting has stolen it's plac...

No Jolie, but Still Some Thrills 0
Cross posted with my site gammatesting.com How do you make a video game based on a movie that every critic said was just like a video game? I'd assumed they'd just take the lazy, easy cash-in route and take the movie and render it in pixels and then add 10 more hours of Angelina Jolie's ass. Because somewhere there's a movie exec saying, “Come on, who wouldn't pay $60 for10 hours and 2 seconds of that?” Hopefully no one, and luckily cooler heads at developers Grin prevailed. Although it's a litt...
