Burnout Revenge takes everything that succeeded in B3, Upgraded it, Smoothined it,and Added to it. The Main addition to the game is the main fact you can hit people going the same way you are and plow through them.. even though the animation is pretty ridicoulus(when a truck goes flying over a building) the satisfaction of a unexpected car being slammed from behind, hearing the brakes squeel, and see the car go into…
Two years ago, if you had an online adapter for your PS2, you need to have Socom II. Now, the guys at Zipper made a game COMPLETELY different from their last two games, updating both the single, and multiplayer drastically. The single player was a huge goal on Zipper's mind, so they gave it a remake from their usual formula, and made it as great as ever. Making it fun, but realistic. The singleplayer now has…
Virtua Tennis: World Tour is the first and only tennis game for the PSP, while it's basically the same as the game Sega made over 3 years ago... but its great to have the game in PSP format so you can play it anywhere you go. Virtua Tennis graphically looks the same as it was on the consoles, but a little bit sharper due to the PSP's screen. The World Tour mode in the game is pretty decent, but due to the difficulty…
Psychonauts is a one of a kind game where you play a young, ten year old boy by the name of Razputin(or Raz, for short). He ran away from his dad and his dad's circus to go into a Psychic Camp to train to be a Psychonaut. The story and the storytelling is indeed the best part of this game. Each of this games characters are loveable and awesome immediatly, which is very, very, rare in the world of Video Games. It's…
Shadow of the Colossus is the Spiritual Successor to the beutiful ICO. The story, is simple, you are an un named explorer(Wander) that is trying to revive a girl(probably his lover) from the dead. To be able to do this, a godly figure tells you that you have to sleigh 16 different colossus. That's the story, you aren't really given too much of the story until the ending. Be warned that to be able to fully understand…
Soul Calibur III is released the same year Tekken 5 was, and while Tekken 5 was a wonderful sequal, Soul Calibur stabs itself in the foot. The gameplay remains the same for the most part. The three characters that are debuting for the game are equaly awesome. They do have different gameplay modes, but none of them are really fun. The story mode is ok, but the cutscenes aren't too rewarding. The graphics has been…
Black is probably one of the most hyped games that have came out in a while.. but after all the hype comes dissapointment. The Gameplay is pretty fun and exillerating. This game was described as "Gun Porn" and I can agree to some extent. It is fast and fun, there is always something to blow up and aww about. The opposition is pretty aggressive(especially the shotgun guys). There really aint to many things wrong…
(NOTE: This Review comes from someone who didn't play MGS3 the first time around, enjoy) Pros: Great Gameplay, Wonderful Storyline, Graphics still hold up, Online play is wonderfully good, The first to Metal Gear games, Duel Mode, everything you'd ever want from this game, and more. And Ocelot. Cons: easiness to get Demo Theatre could ruin you, no cutscenes during duel mode, kinda funky controls online. DISC 1:…
It's been a little over a year since the PSP came out, and now that Lumines 2 is coming out, I had to get the first.. and it was the smartest 20 bucks I've spent in a good while. The gameplay is fairly simple, make a 2x2 square of the same color, and don't let your screen get filled up with blocks... Thats it right? WRONG!... even though the idea on paper sounds bland, the gameplay is EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE, and will…
And 1 Streetball is a game that has been worked on for around 2 years, but you can hardly tell when you play the game. The main mode is the career mode, and while it's concept, which places you as a contestant n the ESPN 2 show, is great sounding, the career mode really lacks substance that makes you want to play through the entire game. The actual gameplay is pure hell basically. There is no real way to square up…
I know people out there will vote negative for giving NCAA a pretty weak score... but atleast I'm telling the basic truth. I have to say that unlike most sports game, this game does have a-plenty of new features and other small things that helps a lot. One example is that when you push a button to do Line Shifts/Audibles/Hot Routes, theres a small window that wasn't present in previous games that lists what options…
Is it possible for Rockstar to make a bad game? Seriously.... anyway, Bully is the latest from Rockstar(and Rockstar Vancouver Studios first game) and it basically has all the formula's from their previous games, put into one.... The gameplay in Bully is much like GTA's open system. You have missions to do, etc., but the different thing about that is that Time matters, and you need to attend school. School has a…
Every Extend Extra is one out of 3 games designed for the PSP made by the famous puzzle makers, Q Entertainment. Even though its made by Q Entertainment, it isn't really a puzzle game at heart. in this game, you play as a bomb, and your goal is to make the biggest combo's you possibly can by starting a chain reaction of explosions. You have a time limit, and a stock number of bombs. There are pickups you can collect…
This game is going to be a love it or hate it game. Some people wont like it because it's an arcade racing game. Other people(me) won't like it because this arcade racer is pathetic compared to Burnout. The gameplay is the biggest flaw of the game, because its the same exact engine since the early Ridge Racers however, the graphics are flatout an amazing showpiece for the PS3, the level designs are unique, the car…
MotorStorm is THE PS3 game you've been waiting for that truly shows what it can really do... if you've got the right tickets... The thing about Motorstorm is is that the gameplay is truly perfect for this kind of Arcade Racing. Motorstorm's setting is in the desert, at some kind of concert/racing event. The races in these events include all sorts of vehicles. You have the Motorcycle, ATV, Racing car, Mud Plugger,…
Tekken 5: DR appeared on the Playstation Network last year, right before Christmas, and a pretty hefty price tag of $19.99, and is currently the most expensive item on the store. For those who have no clue what seperates this from the other ports is that this is the Complete Arcade version, and only has the arcade features. So for those of you who liked that Devil Jin mini-game on Tekken 5 for PS2, or liked the…

http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion/30/the-haiku-review-flower/230947 -- So I have a new idea for something fun to read: The Haiku Review is where I take an experience from a game and sum it all up in a format of five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables, seventeen total. It might seem abstract but I'll leave it up to you to decide what it means or not, and I'll give a brief couple of sentences…
