3 out of 5 starsIf you played the last transformers game by High Moon and found the weapons not too useful, the friendly AI to be not much more than window dressing, the different character classes to be mostly indistinguishable from one one another, and were just generally wishing for a better game. . . . . You're in luck. The single-player campaign is short, but fun in this precursor-to-the-movie game. Every transformer has three…
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed2008
4 out of 5 starsTo start with, I don't think I can give any game that hasn't been out for a while a 5 star rating, as part of that rating to me is a question of how much fun can I have with the game over an extended period of time. With that said, I can't give Force Unleashed a 4 star rating, as I feel like the graphics over all aren't up to what's possible with the system. However, I think 3 stars is a bit low, as there is more…

All articlesIs +Kinect like an automatic transmission in a car?
Jun 20, 2011
I've spent a lot of time this month listening to and reading about E3 , as I suspect most people on the site have. Of all the opinions given out, the ones regarding Microsoft's showing of Kinect really stuck with me. Before I get too far, three things: Mostly due to finances, the 360 was the first, and probably will be the only console in my house this generation. I bought a Kinect. I've been m...
2010 Disappointments - Threebie edition
Dec 22, 2010
Inspired by Epic Steve's blog about his biggest letdowns of the year, I figured I would put in my own top three disappointments of the year. I have a somewhat up to date list of games I just didn't like, but I think there's a difference between not liking something, and being disappointed in it. Y'know I wanted to like Halo:Reach, but when I didn't, I wasn't really disappointed. On the Flip-sid...
Good. Fun. Ramble?
Nov 24, 2010
Listening to Weekend Confirmed since it came back, I'm liking the discussion about Good and Fun in games; their Jeff will talk about games being more Good than Fun, or vice versa. I've been keeping what started as a top ten list for the year (currently at 19 and counting), and as much as there's still a few weeks left, my top ten are pretty much nailed down for the year. I don't know their Jeff...
So, Kinect. Yeah, not so much anymore.
Oct 24, 2010
Back in June I wrote the longest blog post I've done in months, if not ever. It was about how Kinect was made for someone like me, and my family. I don't disagree with that blog, I still think Kinect is made for a family like mine where there is no Wii in the house. What I started to think about the last few weeks is whether Kinect is made for my house, and my budget. I don't remember the exact...
Retro-activity
Oct 12, 2010
Sometimes I don't quite follow the quest system. I got something popping up today for visiting my own profile. Which, not to be self centered, I do a couple times a day. Then, I got one for going to the How to build a bomb page, which I've also done recently. ditto for the podcast page. And, if I'm guess right, I'll get one for posting on my blog. Which I already did once today. Weird.
Is four a magic number for rebooting?
Oct 12, 2010
Was just listening to the Bonus EXP podcast, and they were talking about Civ 5 a bit. Andy basically said he already had 4, so why bother? It got me thinking about franchise reboots or retools, and how many games a series can go before it's time for a reboot. Based on the few games I was thinking about, it seems like 4 is a good number. A few games I was thinking of: Devil May Cry went to 4, an...
