Perfect Action Adventure, Grievous 3rd Person Shooter. Perfectly sums up my sentiments on Uncharted 3's singleplayer campaign. My frowns were frequent. Just as frequent as getting a shotgun blast to the back from some random guntug coming out of nowhere. I've seldomly called bullshit on encounter design more often than in Uncharted 3. Why a 5 star review then? Uncharted 3 makes me happy. From incredulous…
Shank is a stunningly beautiful and bloody gorefest with few flaws... Cassandra - showing off more than just Shank's sexy artstyle... Premise: Shank is about stabbin' and shootin' dudes in the face in a gory and elegantly over the top manner Shank is about its comic artstyle presentation with supersmoothly animated combat choreography Shank is about hip pulp fiction story à la Desperado and Machete Pros: Gorgeous…

MMOs are generally quite frustrating at the beginning. There's a mountain of information to work through and ravines of depth to be explored. The further the player progresses, the less frustrating the game becomes. The…
Generally - I really like Need for Speed : Shift. Nothing in racing games was ever so exciting than 16x Bugatti Veyron 16.4 racing down the Nordschleife (Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Invitational). Quite frankly, it might be too exciting.
