I played the demo for Batman: Arkham Asylum over the weekend (twice) and really loved it.It has a great mix of fighting, stealth and puzzles all wrapped in a dark, gritty Batman story. The fighting is simple but there are some combos, blocking, and take-downs. Batman feels like you’d expect, super strong, but not invincible. […]

I decided to rent Bionic Commando because the swing mechanic looked like it could be really fun. Wow, was I wrong. After thoroughly enjoying the swing mechanic in Spider-Man Friend or Foe I’m shocked at how much I hate it in Bionic Commando. You can only lock onto structures that are within a very short […]

Despite the less than stellar reviews, the trailers for Damnation kept me interested and I decided to check it out. I’m glad I did because despite its flaws I had fun playing through the campaign. Damnation is a third person shooter with a steam punk theme. I really enjoyed the aesthetics of the game even […]

I finally got around to playing X-Men Origins: Wolverine after really enjoying the demo. I started off thoroughly enjoying the game. However, by the end fight I pretty much hate it. Probably that is my frustration with the final boss fight coming through so I’ll start with the good stuff. This might be the first […]

Being a Peggle addict that I am when I saw the announcement today that PopCap was releasing a WoW themed Peggle that has 10 levels for free today I decided to waste my lunch break playing it. I’m not a WoW player but new, free Peggle levels is something I just had to try. I […]

Despite the fact I tend not to like Guitar Hero games as much as Rock Band I decided to check out Guitar Hero Metallica anyway. I’m not a huge Metallica fan but they have more songs I like than Aerosmith. Plus, a couple friends of mine kept telling me how much fun it was. So, […]

It has been a while since I’ve come across a game that I truly enjoy as much as Red Faction Guerrilla. When they released the single player and multiplayer demos on Xbox Live I had a good time with them but normally a demo just gives you a feel for the best part of a […]

Not long after I got my Wii I picked up Boom Blox and really had a pretty good time playing it with my wife. So, when Boom Blox Bash Party released I decided to grab it to add to the small set of games that I can get my wife to play. Bash Party has […]

I was planning on playing Red Faction: Guerrilla all weekend and while I did play it some I got side tracked playing the 1 vs 100 Beta on the Xbox 360 Primetime Channel a lot. I play first during the 2 hour play on Friday night by myself. Well, my wife was sitting there with […]

A demo for Overlord II went up on Xbox Live this morning. It has been almost 2 years since Overlord released and it still ranks up there as one of the funniest games I’ve played. The demo seems to be the first level of the game. Because of this you are not very strong yet […]
