The PS3’s most critically acclaimed title Uncharted was bound to have a sequel eventually and sure enough, in 2008, Uncharted 2 was announced and released in late 2009 to even more acclaim than its predecessor. Do Nathan Drake’s adventures continue to excite or should he sail off into the sunset, once last time?! “More of the same” is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot these days, generally with a negative…
We’ve all heeded the meteorologists’ reports and stocked up on bread and water, and it’s finally here; <em>Heavy Rain</em> has reached PS3 owners. With its promise of a new gaming experience and unique, mature presentation for storytelling, developers Quantic Dream hope to deliver something never really seen before. But does it have us crying buckets or is it a complete washout? First things first, <em>Heavy…
“Chaos will reign supreme". The tag-line of the God of War finale says it all, within mere minutes of playing, the world is launched into utter chaos. Which can only mean ONE thing, Kratos Is back, and his mission is far from over. But is Kratos’ 3-game vengeance fulfilled or is he only a mortal man? Story: What is arguably one of the more creative and entertaining stories of the last couple of generations, GoW III…
This is a collaborative review with fellow Ginatbomb user, ELpork What happens when you take Rockstar’s tried and true style, mix it with the Wild West, and throw in a quality script? You get Red Dead Redemption, one of the best games available so far this year, that’s what!

With a surprising partnering with Team Ninja to assist with the cinematics, does this team-up change the series, or hold it back and prevents it from being a masterpiece? Story: Other M’s story starts out with a recap of Samus and her exploits on Planet Zebes…
So I recently got my hands on the latest game in a franchise that is critically received yet does not sell, Prince of Persia from Ubisoft for PS3. The latest Prince of Persia (or PoP) is a definite deviation from previous titles in the series, a deviation which led to some players to christen it: "the one-button game." More on that later, first, we'll discuss setting and characters. STORY & CHARACTERS: The game…
It’s that time again for my review of a game that has been out for more than a year… This time it’s Suda 51’s masterpiece, No More Heroes from Grasshopper Manufacture for the Nintendo Wii. Now I’ll be the first to say, I was stoked when I saw the first teasers and trailers for this game, but was hesitant about Suda’s work due to Killer 7. While it wasn’t terrible, it left a sour taste in my mouth. From the moment…
