Being a long time fan of the Tony Hawk series I was interested to see how Skate looks and plays. I spent some time with the demo for Skate today and I’m still not sold on it. It does look good and controls work for some stuff, but in other areas it is a nightmare. […]

A quick update. I made it into the Call of Duty 4 beta and downloaded it last night. Hopefully this evening I’ll have time to play for a while. I checked out both of the XBLA games released this week and was not impressed with either. Is anyone liking them that I should give them […]

I played Hexic 2 for a while this weekend and I’m still not sure if I like it or not. There are some really fun things about it, like the multiplayer mode, but other things about it are really lame. Lets start with the good stuff. First, the new battle game mode is pretty fun. […]

I know I’m about to get flamed for this, but I’ll not be getting BioShock. Before trying the demo I was not planning on playing it and now that I have tried it I’m still not planning to play it. Don’t get me wrong, I think it looks beautiful. It is some of the best […]

I downloaded the expansion for Band of Bugs Friday and beat it yesterday, but it was well worth the 250 points. It adds 10 new levels, a couple new unit types, and a couple of achievements. The new units are cavalry and artillery. The cavalry features a bug riding another one with a lance that […]

Now that I’m back into my regular schedule of work and gaming, after a couple weeks traveling, I’ve been spending some time with All-Pro Football 2K8. I was a big fan of the 2K5 football with its online leagues and seasons, and it is nice to have the similar game play again. I’ve been playing […]

Did anyone else try out the Fatal Inertia demo? I ask because the controls did not seem to follow what the pre-game picture showed them to be. For example the picture shows the A button was thrust and the RT was strafe right, but when I hit the right trigger it was my accelerator. Anyone […]

I got my copy on the September issue, #74, of Official Xbox Magazine last night and on this month’s disc there is an exclusive demo of Beautiful Katamari. I’ve never played Katamari before so this was all new to me. At first I was not really impressed with a game where all you do is […]

I’ve been out of town for a couple weeks so I finally got around to trying out the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam demo today. It is a pretty strait forward hack-n-slash with a sci-fi setting. The graphics were ok, but nothing special. Personally, if I was looking to play a hack-n-slash I’d rather stick with Ninety […]

So, after playing Command & Conquer 3 for so long I was looking for something a little simpler. So, as I was looking over GameFly’s available games I remembered that I had enjoyed the demos of Overlord and Surf’s Up. So, I put both in my queue the day I sent back C&C3. I received […]
