All-Pro Football 2K8 Review

Now that I’m back into my regular schedule of work and gaming, after a couple weeks traveling, I’ve been spending some time with All-Pro Football 2K8. I was a big fan of the 2K5 football with its online leagues and seasons, and it is nice to have the similar game play again. I’ve been playing […]

Beautiful Katamari Demo Review

I got my copy on the September issue, #74, of Official Xbox Magazine last night and on this month’s disc there is an exclusive demo of Beautiful Katamari. I’ve never played Katamari before so this was all new to me. At first I was not really impressed with a game where all you do is […]

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Demo Review

I’ve been out of town for a couple weeks so I finally got around to trying out the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam demo today. It is a pretty strait forward hack-n-slash with a sci-fi setting. The graphics were ok, but nothing special. Personally, if I was looking to play a hack-n-slash I’d rather stick with Ninety […]

WeeWar.com Review

Since I’ve been traveling the last couple weeks I’ve been looking for something to fulfill my gaming itch. I stumbled across WeeWar.com and it has been holding me over quite nicely. WeeWar.com is an online turn base multiplayer strategy game. Both you and up to 5 opponents battle to destroy each other’s armies. Turns have […]

Surf’s Up Review

So, after playing Command & Conquer 3 for so long I was looking for something a little simpler. So, as I was looking over GameFly’s available games I remembered that I had enjoyed the demos of Overlord and Surf’s Up. So, I put both in my queue the day I sent back C&C3. I received […]

The Bigs Demo

I checked out the demo for The Bigs this afternoon and it was pretty fun. I stink at it, but not as bad as I did with the MLB 2k7 demo. It has a similar play style to the old Blitz games where players are making impossible catches, but without all the direct violence. If […]

Blue Dragon Demo Review

The Blue Dragon demo has two levels available that you can play for an hour each. I was able to beat the first level of the demo with a couple minutes to spare, and I made it a good way into the second level before I got mad and had to stop. While I do […]

Stuntman: Ignition Demo Review

A demo for Stuntman: Ignition was released on the Marketplace today and while I stink at racing games I figured I’d give it a try anyway. While it looks pretty good, I found it to be very difficult. Even when I set it to the easy mode I had trouble beating any of the three […]

Golden Axe and Sonic the Hedgehog on XBLA

Golden Axe and Sonic the Hedgehog were both released today on Xbox Live Arcade for $5 each. I’m not really excited about either one. I’ve never been a Sonic fan and while I do remember enjoying Golden Axe I think retro titles like this are like movies and tv shows I liked in the 80’s. […]

Ace Combat 6 Campaign Mode Demo Review

A demo for the Campaign Mode of Ace Combat 6 was released this morning corresponding with E3. I was playing it at lunch today and I was really impressed with the graphics. Everything looks more realistic than I expected. The HUD has a lot of info on it, but I quickly found the few pieces […]
