Tom Clancy’s HAWX Demo Impressions

I should start by saying I’m not very good at flying games. I played Crimson Skies on the Xbox and enjoyed it, but games like Ace Combat 6 just are not my thing. However, Ubisoft has been saying since the announcement of HAWX that the controls will be setup so that both beginners and veteran […]

Halo Wars Demo Impressions

I decided to take an early lunch today and check out the Halo Wars demo. The demo has three parts. First there are the tutorials, there are two campaign levels, and then you can play 1v1 skirmish against the AI. I’m a long time Real Time Strategy (RTS) fan, but I tend to play more […]

Lord of the Rings: Conquest Review

After playing the demo and really enjoying it I decided to rent Lord of the Rings: Conquest. I’m glad I did not buy it because the multiplayer has no options to play with your friends. There is no party system or private rooms for the regular verses multiplayer. The single player campaigns are fun and […]

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames Review

I finished up Mercenaries 2: World in Flames earlier this week. The save system was annoying and the load times were pretty long, but overall I enjoyed it. Mostly because you can blow up almost everything in the game’s world. One thing that did help was installing the game to the hard drive on the […]

Free Video Game Rentals

I know that I’m frequently mentioning how much I love GameFly and how they save me a lot of money on video games. However, there are other options out there. Even free options. I can only vouch for this in San Diego County California, but there is a way to rent video games for free. […]

Mirror’s Edge Review

Back in November I played the Mirror’s Edge demo and and really enjoyed it. I finally got around to playing the full game last weekend. I finished the whole thing in 2 days because it has 9 levels and takes about 6 hours to complete. I loved the first 5 or 6 levels, but the […]

Blow Impressions

I’ve been playing Blow off and on for the last couple weeks. Blow is an XNA Community Game that will set you back just $5 (400 Points). It is a puzzle game but where as most puzzle games get frustrated when they start to get hard Blow is still really relaxing because of its slow […]
