I got a chance today to try out the XNA Community Game NextWar: The Quest for Earth. It is a tower defense style game which I find highly addicting. It has a unique graphical style that I’m not sure I like yet, but the overall mechanics work great. If you’re into Tower Defense games I […]

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 […]

I played the Guitar Hero: Metallica demo this weekend and I was not overly impressed. If it pretty much like Guitar Hero: World Tour, which I was not really fond of, but with a Metallica skin on it. It plays pretty much like World Tour in terms of most chart structure. The one thing I […]

I’ve been meaning to play Pure since the demo was released last September. I finally got around to playing the full game these last couple weeks and I’m really glad I did. I know I’ve mentioned it before but I’m not very good at simulation style racing games, but Pure is clearly not a simulation […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

Miner Dig Deep released on Xbox Live Community Games on February 4th 2009. You play as a miner whose sole responsibility is to excavate the local mine. 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 […]

I played through Quantum of Solace earlier this week. It took me all of 2 days to beat, but it was fun while it lasted. I’ve got a full review over on AC. Here is the link for those of you interested: Quantum of Solace (Xbox 360) Review

I played Spider-Man: Web of Shadows last weekend and really enjoyed it. Kind of like the last Hulk game you get to roam the city and take out bad guys whenever you want and then go do missions when you’re ready. I really enjoyed the story of the game, but I’m glad I rented it […]
