I’m not really sure if flOw is a video game, but it certainly is an experience. As a game, flOw lacks gameplay, complexity, and challenge, but it’s slogan is “…life could be simple.” That slogan really embodies what flOw is. flOw is an incredibly fresh and relaxing voyage into the depths of a simple oceanic [...]
Dark Sector is a blatant Gears of War clone that gets stale by the end. It shouldn’t be a surprise since Dark Sector’s development has taken it all over the place (original trailers showed the game taking place in outerspace).Gameplay: 7.5/10Pros: Plays just as good as Gears and introduces a pretty fun twist with the [...]
Ratchet & Clank: Future Tools of Destruction is the most recent iteration of the very successful franchise which has spawned sequel after sequel. It is a very good game that shows off the advances of moving from the PS2 to PS3. Insomniac Games is definitely one of the best developers Sony has , but R [...]
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHN_VzU4wjc&rel=1]Devil May Cry 4 is a very solid entry into the Devil May Cry universe. It doesn’t suck like DMC2 did, though it is significantly easier than DMC1 and DMC3. Dante’s styles return and you can change styles at any time during gameplay…which is fantastic. Nero is an ok addition and plays drastically different than [...]
MotorStorm for Playstation 3 remains a gorgeous looking game and really boils down to this: It’s an intense racing title with gorgeous graphics, a great variety of vehicles, and a bunch of levels and tracks that all look very similar. I understand that Motor Storm takes place in an undisclosed desert and is an undersground [...]
Uncharted is one of the finest games I have played for PS3 thus far. One of my only complaints is that it is too short. Gameplay: 9.5/10Pros: Gameplay is very fun and combines a lot of styles nicely: platforming (Mario 64, Jak&Daxter, etc), pop-n-stop gunplay (Gears of War), and puzzle solving (tons of games). The [...]
Heavenly Sword is a hack and slash action game similar to God of War, but more heavily focused on the action aspect. It has beautiful graphics and is an amazing start to a franchise despite its missteps, the biggest of which is the brevity of the game’s story and single player campaign. Gameplay: 8/10Pros: 3 [...]
Assassin’s Creed is a gorgeous game (especially on PS3), but it lacks a lot of the fun found in the studio’s previous Prince of Persia games. The game is great at first, but as you plod along things get repetitive. Gameplay: 6/10Pros: Game is easy to pick up and play, and the free running technology [...]
Simply put, Rock Band IS the Best Music Game Ever. Here’s why: It’s Fun! Gameplay: 10/10Pros: 3 Unique Experiences in the Drums, Guitar/Bass, and SingingBand World Tour mode IS phenomenal and a true step in music game “campaign mode”The Guitar Hero gameplay that Harmonix pioneered works great and is slightly tweaked for the better and [...]
Stuntman for the original PS2 was a favorite of mine, despite its many flaws. The difficulty built in a lot of challenge and longevity into the experience and I kept playing in order to unlock the next movie trailer. The sequel, Stuntman Ignition, is still challenging, but a lot more forgiving (no load times on [...]
