XBLA Ratings

Well, I’ve been working on a side project I thought I’d share withe everyone. It is not done yet, but it is getting there. XBLA Ratings I found myself frustrated a while back with the lack of Xbox Live Arcade reviews that talk about if the game is fun or not. To me XBLA games […]

SoulCalibur IV Review

I’ve been playing SoulCalibur IV pretty frequently the last week. It is the first fighting game I’ve playing in years that I find myself enjoying both against the AI and against my friends (who are much better at fighting games than me). The controls are forgiving enough that button mashing can get you though the […]

I Give Up On Supreme Commander

I tried playing it some more, but the crashing at the end of missions finally pissed me off to much. It takes too long to save and load to have to replay part of the level each time you complete a campaign mission. In addition to the freezing/crashing the camera issues have put me over […]

SoulCalibur IV First Impressions

I don’ play a lot of fighting games because I’m not very good at them, but I did rent SoulCalibur IV. I played a lot of SoulCalibur on the Dreamcast back in the day, and I could not pass up the chance to play Yoda. I had a firend over and we played for a […]

Supreme Commander First Impressions

I started playing Supreme Commander this weekend. It is a very traditional RTS with a lot of micro-management. I am enjoying it for the most part, but it is quirky about saving. I started playing the campaign and found that the missions are very long. Like between 1 and 2 hours per mission. I don’t […]

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Review

I finished Guitar Hero: Aerosmith this weekend. I ended it like I started, annoyed. The game only has 42 songs on it including all the unlockable ones. Maybe it was just me but they did not seem to properly progress in difficulty. Some songs in the last couple tiers were very easy, but others were […]

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith First Impressions

I decided to rent Guitar Hero: Aerosmith since I already have the guitars and I heard the achievements are stackable so I no longer have play on every difficulty setting to get all the achievements. Finally, I can play though on Hard and get the Easy and Medium achievements as well. After loading the game […]

Iron Man Review

I decided to rent the Iron Man game for Xbox 360 since the movie was so good and the demo was pretty fun. If you tried the demo the game is more of the same. Lots of flying around and blowing up a large number of weapons and enemies. For the first couple levels it […]

I completed Lego Indiana Jones’ story line andt hen went back and got 100% completion in game and all 1000 gamerscore points on it. This is the first game I got all 1000 points from in a while. It was fun to finish all the little parts of the game to get the achievements and […]

Lego Indiana Jones Review

When I’ve not been playing Rock Band and Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 I’ve been having a lot of fun with Lego Indiana Jones. If you’ve played the Lego Star Wars games you’ll feel right at home playing as Indy. Sure, there are difference like you get a whip and no force powers, but the game […]
