187: Ride or Die – Review

April 28, 2006

The meat of the game revolves around tracks similar in size to those in a Mario Kart title. And the similarities to cart racers don’t end there.

Destroy All Humans! – Review

April 28, 2006

Destroy All Humans! is a throwback to ’50s sci-fi film and television, like the campy glee of Tim Burton’s similarly punctuated 1996 flick, Mars Attacks!

Ratchet – Deadlocked – Review

March 17, 2006

The writing is as funny as ever, the wisecracking announcer makes a welcome return, and the Deadzone hosts and main baddie, Gleeman Vox, get in plenty of gags.

TimeSplitters – Future Perfect – Review

June 13, 2005

In today’s cutthroat first-person shooter world, mediocre just doesn’t cut it. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what TimeSplitters: Future Perfect is.

Tekken 5 – Review

June 13, 2005

God of War – Review

June 13, 2005

You head-butt your opponent and proceed to shove your blade into his gaping maw, extracting glowing spheres of life energy. You don’t defeat, you annihilate.

Devil May Cry 3 – Review

June 13, 2005

The last Devil May Cry entry was a near total derailment of a series. Try as you might to resist 3, you’ll stick around because the gameplay is so damn good.

Ratchet & Clank – Up Your Arsenal – Review

February 28, 2005

Right from the beginning, you’ll be thrown like a lamb to the wolves into the bullet and laser-ridden skies of a fevered battlefield. Here it’s blast-and-go.

Jak 3 – Review

February 28, 2005

The third (and supposedly final) installment of the Jak trilogy is strong enough to forgive a main character plucked directly out of a Mountain Dew commercial.
