Airborne, the latest in the Medal of Honor World War 2 series, takes an attempt to do something new, parachuting into free open levels. This managed to be pulled off well enough to be enjoyable. The game has some shortcomings though, its length, graphics and unrealistic enemies. You play as the mute character Boyd Travers, who is a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne division. At the beginning of each level Travers…
Ahhhh star trek that old chessnut the old fans getting to run around in brillaintly designed ships and fun combat situations. This is what star trek legacy does seem to offer to people who arent even dedicated fans which is what the game does. The campaign is very linear unfortunately with 15 missions covering all the known TREK areas from archer in the old school NX to captain picard in the finest ship in the…
NOTE! THE FOLLOWING REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS, SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO NOT BE SPOILED, READ CAREFULY AND SLOWLY! GOT IT? GOOD! LETS GO! Opening Statement: The Armored Core series and I have a love-hate relationship (Just like my real life relationships…), I love blowing s**t up with giant armored robot suits, and I love customizing my mech with tons of weapons and giving it my own custom paint job so it feels like…
Chromehounds is a great mech simulation game that is advanced but still maintains little arcade feeling to not make it boring. First i will talk about the single player. The single player is basically made as practice for the online experience, though the singleplayer contains a decent storyline, chromehounds is a multiplayer game right through it's metal heart. The single player allows you to unlock parts and to…
Bus Driver is, as its name would suggest, a bus driving simulator made by SCS. There are some professions that make good simulators: pilots, train drivers, combat pilots, for example. Bus driving is not one of those professions. Other games that would not attract awe: Postman Simulator: make your postie go from door to door, tapping the F1 and F2 keys in succession to keep him walking. Make sure you deliver all the…
When buying this game, I didn't have the highest expectations for it, but unfortunately, this game didn't meet them. This is not the Iron Man experience that I had expected. Story--The story in this game does relate somewhat with the film, though there wasn't much of a story to work off of. Tony Stark, millionaire weapons designer, gets captured by terrorists somewhere in the mountains of Afghanistan. These…
Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles was the very first game I ever got, this game began my entire gaming "career". The graphics are relatively medicore, but the gameplay itself is very fun, abilities and other upgrades are earned after every stage or level. The multiplayer allows two players to play through the ten levels together, and is pretty good, although the camera views and controls can get very strange…

Don't worry about the graphics, they look great and help set the environment for both the story and the gruesome monsters. The story is something that kept me on the edge of my seat, much like watching an intense movie at the theater or reading a really engaging book, and I couldn't stop playing because I wanted to learn more about the plot. Throughout the missions a lot of unexpected plot turns will come at you, so…
You are just about asleep... and then you hear something. You think that maybe someone is in your house. Perhaps in your kitchen. Your heart pounds. Ever so slowly, you pull back your sheets, trying to make almost no noise, as your heightened sense of hearing continues to search for any sound that is out of place. You creep ever so slowly to your door. The floor creaks fainlty under your feet, and you catch your…
Dead rising could of been an alright game, if there was more depth it, if you know what i mean. The thing that probably starts to annoy you after a while is the save points, its annoying that you can only save in certain points, and that it hasn't got a save any where feature. So if you are doing really well in the game and forgot to save it you are going to have to start all again, untill where you last saved it.…
Jedi Outcast was my introduction to the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series. I first played this game when a single level demo of it was included with my purchase of Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, a mediocre RTS game that felt more like a mod for AOE II. When I found myself playing the JO demo more, I knew I had to get the full game. JO is perhaps the best feel like a Jedi game out there, because it accomplishes just…

Jade Empire is undeniably a Knights of the Old Republic clone in terms of the aspects of its story...it has the similar storyline of a character trying to figure out his or her past, a group of followers that represent the two sides of the moral spectrum, a potential love story to be followed, and some very powerful magical beings substituted in for the Jedi of KOTOR. Though most of the story seems to be derived…
In this still new generation of gaming, where in game screenshots are quickly approaching levels of quality that rival what we pay $9 a ticket to see in a theater, for every game that achieves this level of quality there are ten others that have not. Beautiful Katamari, the latest in the series of quirky Japanese games has just made two large leaps forward: entering into the next generation while also making the…
The Good: Lively, beautifully envisioned gameworld is fun to explore; interesting, if slightly shallow, morality system causes your character to evolve; outstanding presentation makes the game exciting to see and listen to; the lost chapters adds some great new quests, extending the storyline; budget price tag. The Bad: Main quest is quite short and linear; combat system can be exploited, thanks to some overpowered…
Well, what can I say? From the first time I played this game I immediately fell in love with it. The whole story concept is perfectly pitched, the incidental music is fabulous and the overall game play is just out of this world. I love the fact that You control your own destiny - to be good or evil. The relationship with the main characters is also a major treat. The emotional love story between Revan and Bastila is…
Anyone who is a fan of the X-Men Legends series have probably all tried this by now, but here is my take on MUA. Story: 2.5 The story I feel is very good. As the game progresses, you will definately feel the sense of urgency and despair as Dr. Doom steps closer and closer to taking over the world. You'll find the main quests and sub-quests to be quite compelling and fun to complete. Once the game is over, you'll…
I found the game to be good , but not great . I’ll start off with all the negatives, so as to get them out of the way: repetitive gameplay, a shit-load of bugs, and a not too satisfying narrative (very minor spoilers). Although AC claims to let you explore each city and the lands surrounding them at your leisure, there’s not much to actually explore. The game limits you to the outdoors, with only a handful of indoor…
With automotive monsters like Forza Motorsport 2 and DiRT nicely filling their respective niches, you might wonder what there is left to do with the racing genre. As fun as it can be, Project Gotham Racing 4 doesn't seem to know either. Making an Impression At first glance, every race in PGR 4 is a stylish mix of simulation precision, arcade excitement, and egomaniacal showboating. Showing skill on the asphalt in…
Story: The story for Ratchet and Clank Going Commando is pretty good. After defeating drek, Ratchet and Clank are suddenly transported to to the Bogon Galaxy by Abercrombie Fizzwidget. Abercrombie is the founder of Megacorp, a company that makes weapons of all shapes and sizes, along with normal everyday household appliances. Abercrombie asks Ratchet and Clank for help in recovering a stolen biological experiment,…
This is my review for the Xbox 360 game Saints Row. Now most people just believe that this is a straight up copy of the GTA games and well… It is… But is that really a bad thing, I don’t think that it is. If Rockstar haven’t released a GTA game in a while then its great that other game companies are giving it a shot at making a GTA like sandbox game. THQ are the makers of Saints Row and they have done a very good…
Far Cry Instincts Predator, is basically two games in one case, on one disc. Which is sweet! The two games are “Instincts” and “Predator” the Instincts game is the longer of the two and Predator is more of an extra little game on the side but they are both very entertaining to play through. I’m going to start off the review with the Instincts game. Instincts is basically the same game as it was on the original Xbox…
Any game i review in a blog i wont review before beating the game atleast once. GoW2 is an amazing game. From start to finish your time playing as Kratos is pure enjoyment. This sequel trumps the original in almost every category (The only thing i felt it lacked was a better more well rounded story, This story is damn good.. but it leaves you with the whole "theyre working towards something bigger feel" that movies…
This is my review for Perfect Dark Zero for the Xbox 360. This game has been out since the very launch of the Xbox 360 and I have had it for a little under a year now and I still play it on the multiplayer with my friends. The career mode is very unique in the way that its set out and basically gives you different missions and levels depending on the level of difficulty you have chosen to do the level on. Like on…
I bet when you first heard what was in Half life The orange box you immediatly think to yourself, thats amazing but what about the price. I can tell you thats not what i thought, when i first saw the description i almost pissed my pants with excitment, and later on in the year it was announced that the price would be the same as a normal game price. Now ive finally got it and i can tell you it is the best value for…
Kameo was one of the first xbox 360 games to be released and i only recently bought it and i found it and i am still finding it very fun and enjoyable to play. I completed it earlier and it is still enjoyable to play there are around 7 different characters for kameo to transer into and all of which have their own special abilities. Ice, Fire, Rock, Water, Grass and more they are all unique in their own way and my…
