I finally got around to playing though Wet (only 6 months after playing the demo) and while it was pretty short in length I really enjoyed it.  It makes for a great weekend rental as long as you are not looking to get all of the achievements.  Getting all 1000 Gamerscore will require playing through […]

A demo for Splinter Cell: Conviction hit Xbox Live Marketplace today and I decide to take an early lunch to check it out. I enjoyed the previous Splinter Cell games but I was just planning to get to Conviction whenever I can find it for a good price.  However, after playing the demo I’m seriously […]

I just finished playing through Dark Void this week and I found it really disappointing. There are some really fun levels in the beginning of the game, but as the game progresses I found it more and more frustrating. You have a jetpack/rocketpack and at any time you can go from on foot to flying […]

I got Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on release day and I’ve been having a blast with it.  Both the campaign and the multiplayer are some of the most fun I’ve had with a shooter in a while. It has been a few months since I’ve had a solid multiplayer shooter to keeps me coming back […]

I generally don’t play a lot of racing games.  The only two I recall playing in the last few years are Pure and Mario Kart.  Both of which are very arcadey and not at all simulation racers. Before that I did play some Project Gotham Racing on the original Xbox. Blur sort of merges all […]

I’ve been trying out some real time strategy games on my new PC now that I have one with decent specs. This weekend I spent some quality time with Supreme Commander 2. I’m really enjoying it so far but I’m thinking I may finish it on the Xbox 360 instead of the PC just because […]

The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, the third set of downloadable content for Borderlands, released last week. Since then I’ve put over 15 hours into it and I’ve still got a few side quests to complete. So far it has been a blast and I expect the rest of it will be as well.  It […]

I’ve been thinking of playing Darksiders since it released because the trailers looked pretty fun. So, when they released a demo for Darksiders this morning on Xbox Live Marketplace I was pretty pumped to see how it is.  After spending 20 minutes with the demo I quickly found that it is not for me.  The […]

I’ve always enjoyed the campaigns in the Halo series as well as the Halo novels, but the  multiplayer is not really my style.  Because of this Halo ODST was a rental for me.  The story was fun to play through and Firefight was a blast, but I’m just not into the jumpy multiplayer of Halo […]

Is it too early to start nominating games for the 2010 Game of the Year?  If not then Mass Effect 2 would be one of the top nominations. It is one of the best games I’ve played in a very long time and I’m already looking forward to completing the trilogy with Mass Effect 3.  […]
