While the title is meant semi-jokingly, anyone who has actually watched Red Dawn will agree that it is not exactly one of the greatest movies ever made. Hell, it has Patrick Swayze in it. In this same vein, Homefront is a game that cannot have a very deep story. The Russians are replaced with the Koreans, but other than that it is pretty much a straight rip-off. The game takes place several years after the…
I have always liked puzzle games. They do exactly what they are expected to do, they waste a bunch of time and they require learning a new way to look at some sort of board where you do something involving thinking. 4 elements is no different from this. There is some sort of story in 4 elements about saving the world by returning the 4 elements to it, but really, who cares. The story is only there to move along the…
Crackdown 1 was a fun game. I borrowed it from a friend and played it after my girlfriend bought my 360 for Mass Effect.

With all battles as Alien or Predator boiling down to melee, I felt that this game missed out on a lot of the fun of those species. Admittedly, Aliens are completely melee, but the control scheme on AvP1 and 2 was so much better. Hold…
