Stoked Impressions

Since I enjoyed Shaun White Snowboarding for a while I decided to rent Stoked as well. Unfortunately, the controls are terrible. I almost quit playing before the end of the tutorial because of how poorly the controls are setup, and they are not at all customizable. Whereas Shaun White Snowboarding has controls similar to Tony […]

Fable II Impressions

I finally finished playing Fable II this weekend. I enjoyed the game for the most part, but it does have its flaws. Fable II is an Action RPG that is pretty light on the RPG elements. You do level up your character but there is not a tech/skill tree. Plus the loot grinding from a […]

Guitar Hero: Metallica Demo Impressions

Transporter 3 Impressions

I watched Transporter 3 this weekend. If you’ve seen the first two then let me assure you that it was more like the first one than the second. I liked it. Jason Statham does fighting in a suit really well and there were a couple fun fights where he takes on a big group of […]

Shaun White Snowboarding Review

It has been a while since I’ve played an extreme sports game that I really liked. I was always a fan of the Tony Hawk and Amped series of games as well as SSX, but there have not been a lot of these type games released in the last couple years. Sure, there is Skate […]

Wanted: Weapons of Fate Demo Impressions

I decided to check out the Wanted: Weapons of Fate demo today even though I really did not like the movie. The idea of being able to curve the bullets I shoot was just too much for me to pass up. I played through the tutorials and the actual playable level in about 10 minutes. […]

The deeper you dig the more valuable the gems and ore you will find. For $2.50 (200 Microsoft Points) you would expect a quick little game, but Miner […]
