Dynasty Warriors Gundam – Review

January 1, 2008

The button-mashing hack ‘n’ slash is mind-numbing. A sleek presentation and high-profile license have gotten this title way more attention than it deserves.

BioShock – Review

January 1, 2008

Already the defining game of this generation of consoles, BioShock would’ve been an amazing game even if its concepts were hampered by audio/visual constraints.

All-Pro Football 2K8 – Review

December 21, 2007

Billed as a return to “real” football by the company whose excellent NFL 2K was killed off when Electronic Arts scooped exclusive rights to the NFL license.

Hot Shots Tennis – Review

December 14, 2007

The character and environment concepts are all over the map and don’t adhere to any theme that could help this title stand out in the crowded tennis field.

Carnival Games – Review

December 14, 2007

The motion-sensing actions of Wii Sports transferred to a carnival setting of familiar mini-games. Some (Skeeball) are much better than others (Ring Toss).

November 1, 2007

The trials and adventures of characters in other games may resonate deeper, but there are few games that can bring their stories to life with this much impact.

October 19, 2007

Jeanne D’Arc, a strategy RPG based (loosely) on the historical exploits of the title character, may be the most accessible game in the entire genre.

Heavenly Sword – Review

October 12, 2007

Clichés abound in the story, but the excellent motion-captured cut scenes and overall sterling presentation overshadow the by-the-numbers plot.
