Wolverine!

I’ve been meaning to post this for a few days but Fallout 3 keeps calling me. However, my tv is otherwise occupied currently so I’ve got a few minutes finally get this post finished. I saw the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine move and played the demo for the game on Xbox 360 this last weekend. […]

Bionic Commando Demo Impressions

I got a chance to check out the Bionic Commando multiplayer demo yesterday and I found it really disappointing. First, there is no tutorial of any kind which is really needed. The bionic arm controls are very unique to Bionic Command and even after playing for 30 minutes I still was not sure how to […]

Load Runner and Red Faction: Guerrilla Impressions

I tore myself away from Fallout 3 for a few hours today to checkout some new stuff on the Xbox Live Marketplace. I started things off with the new Load Runner on Xbox Live Arcade and was surprised by how much there is included for $15. It is a shame they accidentally priced it at […]

Crystal Defenders Impressions

I’ve been playing Crystal Defenders for the last week or so and I’m loving it. Yes, it is another tower defense game, but it is pretty different from the ones I normally play. Every level requires a different strategy. In most tower defense games you find a strategy and you stick with it for every […]

Stoked Impressions

Since I enjoyed Shaun White Snowboarding for a while I decided to rent Stoked as well. Unfortunately, the controls are terrible. I almost quit playing before the end of the tutorial because of how poorly the controls are setup, and they are not at all customizable. Whereas Shaun White Snowboarding has controls similar to Tony […]

Fable II Impressions

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 […]
