I rented and beat Brutal Legend this weekend. I wanted to love it, but I kept playing because I liked the story not because the gameplay held my interest. The game does a nice job of evolving while you play but each new gameplay style never really comes together. When you start Brutal Legend, you’ll [...]
Rock Band 2 doesn’t mess with their original formula. They’ve made some much needed improvements to band setup and the menus, gotten rid of the broken “play songs in this order” single player modes and added in a multi-tiered challenge mode along with a Battle of the Bands Online component. There’s also the 84 tracks [...]

It’s a community based platformer for up to 4 players and includes a diverse and unsurpassed amount of creative community tools to create and share your own levels, objects, character costumes etc. The tagline for LBP is “Create, Share, Play” and while [...]
Saints Row 2 is the sequel to the popular GTA clone, Saints Row by Volition. It picks up right where the first one left off, with your character waking up from a coma after an explosion ended the first game with a literal bang.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is the highly anticipated sequel to Pandemic’s Mercenaries. Too bad, Mercenaries 2 disappoints in a big way. In fact, I was left wondering if Mercs 1 was really as good as I remembered it. Gameplay: 7/10Pros: The much touted destructable environment is pretty sweet. The controls are good, blasting things [...]
Soul Calibur IV is the 4th installment in Namco’s (superior) fighting series. The differences betweent the Xbox 360 and PS3 revolve around the Star Wars Characters present. Xbox is good and has Yoda and apparently the Playstation is evil and has Darth Vader. The PS3 wins in the end because it has the ability to [...]
GRID by Codemasters is the asphalt successor of DIRT. It even runs on the same graphical engine and has a “hip” 4 letter title too. I have no idea what the title means, but I do know that Grid is a very enjoyable racer which blends elements of sim and arcade racers and toes the [...]
Metal Gear Solid 4 is a tough game to review for a few reasons:1. I am a huge MGS fan so my expectations are very high2. MGS4 is split over 5 distinct and different acts3. MGS4′s action and gameplay peaks early at about act 3 Please take a look at all my metal gear solid [...]
