Capcom really took the other developer's to school with a game that should become a franchise. Dragon's Dogma is a spit fire that really shines and rarely shows a lack of finish, although it does at times. I would suggest that every player worth their RPG salt invest some serious time in this title. We will start with the quick overview of the bad. There will be odd clipping events and the camera, in the tradition…
In the world of post-release patches, video games are difficult to judge when they are young and months out of the gate. Let us hope that Blizzard is just another procrastinator.

It is the kind of thing that makes a Video Game a serious…
Bodycount is not perfect, but the game has a focus that is missing in the rest of the genre, First person shooting mechanics. This is a skill game, short and simple. There are few cheap kills in Bodycount. I have played both COD and Battlefield and I was surprised to see that Bodycount uses a simple feature that the other two games are desperately missing, but that will be addressed soon enough. Per Jeff Gersmann's…
