Mini Reviews

Having a busy life prevents me from writing as many reviews as I would like to. Here's some mini-reviews for games I don't have much to say on. In most cases, I probably didn't finish them.

Showing 1-10 of 29 items

Dead Space 2

1. Dead Space 2

A good shooter in the similar field of RE4. You can however, make an argument for Dead Space 2 being a FPS Doom 3. This game is well designed, but totally losses focus during the last third. Score: 3/5

Bulletstorm

2. Bulletstorm

Weird enough, Bulletstorm's over-the-top nature is a breath of fresh air. This game manages to make unlikable characters likable. If you're looking to get away from the standard military FPS carnival this industry has become, look no further than Bulletstorm. Score: 4/5

Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

3. Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

MVC3′s reticules screen-filling combos are a sight to behold. This is a fighter that’s easy to get into and has the roster that anyone can build a team of characters they find awesome. Score: 4/5

Raskulls

4. Raskulls

An easy pick up and play arcade title that's charming and offeres enough variety in challenges to keep things fresh through the course of the game. SCORE: 4/5

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

5. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

It's great how the cars in this game are combative without the game turning into a full-fledged car-combat game. Burnout fans will feel right at home with the sense of speed, and Need for Speed fans will be excited that this franchise is relevant again. Hot Pursuit also brings score chasing to the table with its Facebook-style wall postings. Instead of conquering meaningless lap times the game encourages you to out-race your friends. SCORE: 4/5

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

6. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Brotherhood is the most complete Assassin's Creed game to date. The main game provides hours of engrossing entertainment. Shockingly Ubisoft somehow took stealth, 3rd person action, and melee combat mechanics and crafted an excellent competitive multiplayer portion. This is easily one of 2010's best games. SCORE: 5/5

Tron: Evolution

7. Tron: Evolution

There's a good game in Tron: Evolution fighting to get out. It's too bad that the game never comes into fruition and is another obligatory marketing device. Everything that's good about Evolution can probably be traced to someone's personal liking of Tron. SCORE: 2/5

Deadly Premonition

8. Deadly Premonition

This game is so fucking weird. No, Deadly Premonition isn't a good game. However, people who can appreciate quirky fun will probably fall in love. SCORE: 3/5

Toy Story 3: The Video Game

9. Toy Story 3: The Video Game

I'm shocked that a kids game can contain the charm and adventure that complements the movie. As fun as the game is, the simple mechanics probably won't carry you through the entire game. SCORE: 3/5

Disney's Bolt

10. Disney's Bolt

A simple kids game with stealth and platforming elements. Might be a decent pick for kids. It also has easy points. SCORE: 2/5
