Eternal Sonata – Review

February 1, 2009

Seeing the next impossibly gorgeous locale becomes your main motivation, which is saying something in an RPG with a story and gameplay this strong.

SOCOM – U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation – Review

January 1, 2009

SOCOM fans want hardcore, tactics-heavy third-person military-shooting action with no frills and no concessions to court a larger audience.

Rock Revolution – Review

January 1, 2009

Where Rock Revolution stands apart from the Rock Band or Guitar Hero franchises is in its utter lack of heart or style.

With sterling presentation and an adrenalized experience with every session, Pure easily stands with Burnout Paradise as the best racing game of the year.

MLB 2K8 – Review

May 1, 2008

The player is buried by stats and options, on the mound or at the plate. Batting push/pull technique on the analog stick is tricky, but becomes very satisfying.

January 1, 2008

It’s almost everything you’d want to see in a flying dragon action game. But the controls prevent you from wanting to explore past the first few levels.

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.
