Professor Layton and the Curious Village2007

5 out of 5 starsNov 30, 2008

Professor Layton is simply amazing. It takes the puzzle genre, perfects it, and then adds on extra features to create an all-around package worthy of everyone's attention. This is a game that excels in all aspects and exceeds all expectations. Professor Layton is an absolutely fantastic game, and one that should be experienced by almost every DS owner. The game follows the story of the esteemed gentlemen Professor…

Surf's Up2007

3 out of 5 starsNov 30, 2008

Let's face it - as a general rule, movie-based games generally suck. Without enough development time or resources, it is nigh impossible for even the most talented studio to adapt a movie to a game effectively. And for the most part, Ubisoft's Surf's Up is no exception. However, it has to be said that the developer made a few smart decisions, and Surf's Up is not nearly as bad as it could have been. In fact, it's…

Fable II2008

5 out of 5 starsNov 25, 2008

Peter Molyneux's reputation often precedes him, and rightly so. Molyneux is notorious for promising the world and not delivering. It happened with Fable, and many thought that it would happen with Fable II as well. Fortunately, it hasn't. That's not to say that the game is perfect; far from it. But the game has an undeniable charm. It's witty, wonderful, and a blast to play. The NPCs are amazingly dumb, but they do…

Yaris2007

1 out of 5 starsNov 9, 2008

When Yaris was first released, the majority of the Xbox LIVE population downloaded it, because heck, it's free! Being the uninformed sap that I am, I wasn't made aware of this XBLA game until I saw the little black "Y" on the gamercards in people's signatures. I immediately booted up my Xbox and downloaded Yaris, the free Xbox LIVE arcade game by Backbone. I almost wish I hadn't. The only reason I say "almost" is…

Pokémon Diamond/Pearl2006

0 out of 5 starsJul 23, 2008

I was introduced to the gaming world with Nintendo's Pokemon Yellow way back on the GameBoy Colour. Needless to say, the series has always held a special place in my heart. Each generation has found me owning one or even two of the games. However, the formula has changed very little since its debut 10 years ago, and it might be starting to wear thin. For the select few who are unfamiliar with this classic series,…

Mass Effect2007

5 out of 5 starsJul 23, 2008

BioWare is famous for its sci-fi RPGs. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is arguably the best one to date. Their latest effort, Mass Effect, is no slouch either, but some unnacceptable technical issues hold it back from true greatness. Mass Effect's plot isn't exactly revolutionary: the galaxy is in trouble, and it is up to you to beat the odds and save it. However, there are some twists. Humanity is a mere…
