Love and hate are two of the strongest emotions one can feel. One can’t exist without the other. I absolutely loved Assassin’s Creed II, but at some moments, I hated it. Without spoiling anything, Assassin’s Creed II takes place in the near future. Your character, Desmond, enters into the “Animus” (think Holodeck from Star Trek), where he gets to relive the memories of a famed Italian assassin, Ezio Auditore. The…
Catan for XBLA is an adaptation of the popular board game Settlers of Catan created by Klaus Teuber . This game is not for everyone. if you spend all you time fragging users online in Call of Duty or Halo, you can stop reading now, because you won’t like this game. I on the other hand absolutely loved it! The game is fairly simple. There are 3 to 4 players that must compete for resources on a honeycomb shaped board…

If you haven’t played the first Uncharted, it is a 3rd person action game with some platforming sequences heavily influenced by the Indiana Jones movies. The first thing you will notice in this game are the high production values. Critically acclaimed publisher Naughty Dog really went the extra mile to deliver an action packed movie…
GET COMMITTED TO ARKHAM ASYLUM When it comes to licensed games, I’m always very skeptical. We have all been burned too many times in the past seeing some of our favorite characters, movies, TV shows etc.. being completely butchered in video game form. This is not the case for the latest Batman game. Arkham Asylum is a true gem. The game excels at making you feel like you are Batman. The controls are very intuitive…
