Let me preface this and say that I am a "hardcore" MMA fan so, im not sure if I somehow "get it" a little easier but I actually enjoyed my time with this game. I know it's been getting a bad rep but breaking it down and learning the nuance's, I find myself enjoying this game but I can recognize what it get's wrong and how it definitely feels stripped down. The First thing that you will notice about the game is that…
The UFC is the top dog in the world of Mixed Martial Arts. With EA (at least the time) not having the license, that makes this already a hard sell for a hardcore mma fan let alone a casual fan. EA MMA tries to be a different game than the offering that THQ has available. In many ways this game improves over that games faults but has faults of its own that make it dull at times. The high points are enough to…
Im gonna be upfront by saying that i haven't played this game in maybe a year, but I wanna give my thoughts on it. Before the release of this game, the UFC was beginning to build a lot of steam with popularity that was gaining from the mainstream. This game couldn't of been released at a better time with the sport becoming mainstream. Enough with opinions of the sport and now moving onto the game itself. UFC 2009:…
Its odd to say that but Reach doesnt really redefine anything it is still just such a good experience. Everything the game does from its campaign, multiplayer and Firefight mode are very well done. For the most part this is a Halo game that doesnt break too far from the mold. The Campaign has great AI, the multiplayer is a blast with friends and FIrefight is as fun as ever. But all 3 of these elements really blend…
Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded is the second compilation from capcom. This compilation includes 19 classic games. They range from the first 3 Street Fighters (Street Fighter II, Street Fighter II: Champion Edition, Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting). Other games are the Ghouls'n Ghost and Ghost and Goblins. Whats good about this compilation is that it has different types of games from different genres. So it…
Turtles in time re-shelled just dissapointed me so much. i really wanted to go back on a nostolgic trip back to this game and remember the good times i had playing with my brother and cousins. But in reality this game does not hold up well as all it is, is just a stupid beat em up that was meant to eat your quarters with cheap boss battles. Turtles plays almost like it did when it came out in the arcades. Except now…

NBA Courtside is a pretty below averge basketball game. it mostly plays sim-like but many aspects still feel arcaic and non realistic. Now this is a game that came out in 2002 so i wont judge it too harshly on the visual department. the textures do not look real at all and the faces dont look good. On a bright note the visuals are actually pretty colorful. For some odd reason almost all the players have this weird…
Read the full review i played this a lot when it came out and now i realized why?
Simply these three songs are a blast to play. 2 of them(The Rock Show, Feeling this) are challenging and fun, but also the song "Down" is a nice chilled out song to rock to. If your a fan of Blink or even have a slight fondness for them i definetely reccomend you get this song pack. Besides their are worse ways to spend $5.50
Smackdown vs Raw 2008 was a somewhat mediocore game that i had high hopes for and it kinda dissapointed me. SD vs Raw 2009 is a great improvement over last years attempt and it refines some of the faults last year and it adds in many great improvements. The games single player is quite versatile. Like in any Smackdown game you can play exhibition matches in which you choose a match and choose wrestlers to fight in…
Its no secret that GH World Tour is a lot like Rock Band 2. So much that it includes the same 4 instruments and implements many of the Rock Band features while trying to make other aspects unique but those other aspects just feel tacted on and not good in any way. To start out this is your standard music rhythm game. Their are notes that come down your highway and it is your job to hit those notes on the guitar,…
Burnout Paradise is a very different Burnout Game. It still has all of the very high intense racing but in a different formula. This time around the game uses an open-ended formula that works well to the games advantage. The game knows how to make this formula work by making everything you do in the games world so seamless To start out the game it seems pretty bare and barely gives you any detail. But also th world…
At first Def Jam may seem like a pretty broken Fighting game. There are many aspects that just feel not to good at first. It starts with the lag of the controls. For all of the punches that you throw or kicks there will be a half second lag to all of your commands and that can be frustrating. But once you look at the overall style of the game and get used to the controls the game is actually pretty good. To start…
Smackdown vs Raw 2008 on 360 is quite a fun game. Many aspects can be fun but, also a lot of aspects are just either dated or just not to well done. There are a bit of new features such as the ECW overall and the addition of superstar fighting styles but overall the game hasnt changed too much. So this game has your standard modes of play. Their is your typical match types as singes, doubles, triple threats, fatal…
Good: Amazing sense of style on very aspect of the game, Artistically the game looks amazing, The Soundtrack is one of the best in Gaming, The Story is thrilling and quite comical, all of the characters are very well done, All of the sounds are very good, You feel like your in 80's Miami, Amazing atmosphere Bad: Weak gunplay, ugly character models, technically the game doesnt look too good GTA Vice CIty is a great…
Read the full review Though the gameplay isnt that great, GTA is just plain amazing
Sega Genesis Collection is a great release for genesis junkys. This compilation includes 27 games and some are great but it also includes some worthless titles that dont really even belong here. To start off this collection has near perfect emulation on all of the games in this colletcion. The only thing that will not be accurate is some of the music as they have changed some of it but it still sounds decent. The…
Super mario Galaxy Was nintendos big mario game for the Wii. Actually I feel they actually have a right to say that this time. Since Sunshine was such a let down its great to see that this game is so great So to start off this is quite revolutionary but its still the same mario formula. You will have a HUB and then you jus go to each level like you would in any other 3D mario game. Accept now you are in a space so…
