Rogue Warrior2009

1 out of 5 stars

This game.... They shipped it to me before the street date, before the reviews. So now I own it. It's... I played it. Felt like I had to make the best of the situation and try to get my money's worth out of it. I did not succeed. This is a game which unique quality is that it possesses extraordinarily little value. It takes some time to adjust to the way this game plays, your first instinct may be to give up after…

Guitar Hero 52009

2 out of 5 stars

Hadn't bought one of these since Guitar Hero 3. Felt like it was time to give the genre a try again. What I was actually interested in purchasing was Rock Band 2, but there's no RB2 guitar bundle here in Europe because something. Was looking at World Tour for €60, but the latest GH guitar, GH5 and World Tour for €90 sounded enticing as I clicked the pre-order button. Turns out there's no GH5 guitar bundle in Europe…

Flower2009

5 out of 5 stars

In a review about flower it's easy to go off on some pretentious tangent about how elegantly it evokes a sensation of happiness and relaxation in your soul with its soothing, mesmerizing presentation and the simple elegance of its unique design. It's easy because it's actually not that far from the truth. Flower may not possess the same qualities common in other games, and that's what makes it so appealing. And it's…

Prince of Persia2008

5 out of 5 stars

This game is wonderful. The beautiful visuals are always so, and mesmerizing those times when it essentially feels like you're watching concept art in motion. Ubisoft presents a fantastical world where the striking visuals convey an atmosphere that is positively sparkling with ethereal magic. The Prince may not be a perfectly natural fit for a world like this, he's basically Nathan Drake's more fashionable brother.…

Spore2008

3 out of 5 stars

(rating thing appears to be a bit broken. actually not supposed to be 5 stars there, but 2.5.) Revealed to much fanfare and mindblowingness at E3 2005, Will Wright's next miracle promised to contain an entire universe populated with weird creatures created by the players themselves. It all sounded so majestic and magical one could but dream of what a fantastically wondrous experience it would be to engulf oneself in…

Alone in the Dark2008

2 out of 5 stars

I wanted to believe. Eden Studios had created the most excellent Test Drive Unlimited, which is based upon the most brilliant concept ever. Wasn't flawlessly executed, but the concept was so ingenious it didn't really matter. Alone in the Dark had similarly ambitious ideas and I was hoping for a spiritual sequel, if you could call it that. You start off in a room, dizzy and barely conscious, you have no idea what's…

River City Ransom1989

5 out of 5 stars

I remember when I was but a wee lad, back when I couldn't afford a single piece of cartridge for Nintendo's electronical videogame machinery due to my moneylessness. So I used to leech off of those who could. One beautiful day when the birds were chirping and the sun had come up from bottom of ground, I got to borrow this thing called Street Gangs, which was its European title. What I was presented with was a story…
