PS3 Review – Red Dead Redemption
Monday, June 28th, 2010
Meet your guide to the west, John Marston
So what’s there to say about Red Dead Redemption? Well a lot actually, a whole lot to be precise. It is an open world adventure unlike any other kind and is set at the turn of the twentieth century. This was a turbulent time in American History when the lawless ‘Wild West’ was taking an unexpected turn, rapidly being crushed by the combination of effective government and the rapid advancement of technology. Compared to a GTA game it has its similarities but it has really turned out to be so much more. It is truly a one of a kind experience that you won’t find anywhere else.
PS3 Review – ModNation Racers
Friday, June 11th, 2010
Drift your way to the front!
When you see a kart racing game, you can already think of some that hold their ground and stay true to the genre. But now, ModNation Racers has hit the PlayStation 3 and with this much havoc, this is one racer you don’t want to miss.
PS3 Review – Blur
Wednesday, June 9th, 2010
Blur is a game that advertises itself as a realistic game with unrealistic properties or more specifically power-ups. Between this and the many racing games that have come out in the month of may is this worth your purchase? Bizarre Creations sure packed a lot into this game which can potentially have a lot of bang for your buck but do all of the features in this game perform well? Or will this game just be a Blur in your memory.

3D Dot Game Heroes Review
Saturday, June 5th, 2010
Sorry it took so long but I finally have this review posted so here you go!
Welcome to a New Retro Classic
Welcome to the Land of Dotnia, a place of joy and dots and by dots I mean Pixels. As the legends tells, when the Kingdom of Dotnia was threatened by great evil, a hero sought out for 6 powerful orbs that could lock the evil away and protect the kingdom. After the Land of Dotnia was safe, the king decided to take the world out of 2D and bring in 3D!
PS3 Review – Split/Second
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010
First one to collide into the plane is a rotten corpse!
Have you ever felt the need, the need for SPEED? What are you waiting for? Pop a few pills and read on! What about faltering? Have you ever sensed that a video game genre is picking up a little less wind? What ever happened to the likes of sidescrolling shooters, or beat ‘em ups, or point-and-click adventures? Evolution. Time heals all wounds, but it also destroys those we love and ourselves. As the world turns, things begin to fade. Racing is one such genre that seems a little less flashy as it once was. Kart racing crazes, action-packed blazes, and photorealistic simulation graces has established their contributions already. We’ve driven it all, and for that, we might feel a little less inspired. Disney Interactive Studios, along with the makers of 2008′s hit ATV-based racing release Pure (Black Rock Studio), are at it again with more spin to their tire. Racing games have come to a point where a little reinvention is at the request of gamers who crave difference, and with Split/Second, you’re going to notice at least a touch of that.
PSN Review – Lead And Gold: Gangs of the Wild West
Sunday, May 16th, 2010
Lead and Gold kind of entered the scene under the radar. A lot of people knew about it and a lot of people never knew a thing about it but I must say this is one game you will want to know about. Fatshark has really outdone themselves with this package and with promised DLC the future looks bright, but what could keep this amazing Downloadable title from greatness? Find out in the rest of our review.

Uncharted 2 DLC The Siege Expansion Pack Review
Saturday, April 24th, 2010
For those of you who are wondering whether the next DLC for one of the most critically acclaimed games this century is worthy of a purchase, well then look no further.
Well I just finished playing with everything included in this new DLC and I am pretty satisfied with what they have brought us this time around. It includes the following, 6 new character skins, 2 new maps to be played in, a new co-op mode known as siege, and also can’t forget 11 new trophies to be obtained online. I think what catches peoples attention the most here is this siege mode, which at first I was skeptical about whether it would be just as exciting and fun to play as any of the other co-op modes. So now lets get down to the business of the details shall we.
PS3 Review – How to Train Your Dragon
Friday, April 9th, 2010
Sometimes, that boy sitting on the moon reels in the worst catches.
Begging and panting, sitting for you when you lay down an order, attacking those you deem worthy of a bite mark and running to the siren call of a can opener… pets are a domestic breed of animal that can be trained with ease, and sometimes with much difficulty. Some pets heed the call of their master. Some pets need no tutelage at all. Some pets will bite your hand off, knock you airborne, and drench your body in a coat of flame. These are the dragons of the world. From ages ago, they were real (just look to science for evidence): creatures of scale, of flight, and of heated breath. These razor-toothed beasts come into mind as extremely fearsome beings, but over the years also have portrayals along a relatable path. Especially when it comes to films, no one does it better than Hollywood to bring the kind of magic that a widened audience wants to see with their hard-earned dollars. DreamWorks Pictures has just recently imagined a friendly tale of boy-meets-dragon, and Activision and French developer Entranges Libellules have correspondingly adapted the video game vision for how gamers across the land can enact the characteristics of dragon-training interactivity for the whole family to enjoy.

God of War III Review
His name is Kratos: The almighty, anti-heroic, powerful, God of War. Through all of Kratos’ journeys and campaigns of war and fierce encounters of battle, he has never taken up a challenge like the one he will face in God of War III, the final piece to an epic saga that ends with an unforgettable battle, of Olympic proportions.

PS3 Review – Final Fantasy XIII
Friday, March 19th, 2010
Lightning is fierce just as she is gorgeous.
When inspiration turns into faith, when faith turns into betrayal, and when betrayal turns into abandonment’s aberration, you might have a problem. As far as release dates go, Final Fantasy had always been an exclusive franchise. The first, the second, the third… the fourth, the fifth, the sixth… the seventh, the eighth, and the ninth: need this go on? Don’t you realize that whenever a Final Fantasy game launches, it is always for a single platform? Yes, Square has walked the “mark now, port later” path over the course of time, but not until slow sales of the PlayStation 3 has Square Enix come to the unthinkable conclusion: end Final Fantasy XIII’s exclusivity. At E3 2008, no one from that day forth would look at Square Enix the same way again. They stomped on the hearts of PlayStation 3 owners, not because the game would no longer arrive on one system, but more so because they would not launch the game until both versions were completed. No one knew of the game’s full status at this point, and no one has since – besides the suits of zipper-lipped industry insiders. Wasn’t the game supposed to be nearing completion by this point? Was there a retooling in effect? How would this affect the game, by catering to cross-platform infrastructures? Moreover, why didn’t Square Enix finish the PlayStation 3 edition off first, port later, and make the gaming world sane again? Whatever the answers may be, we’ll never know. We’ll only know the war that has waged since then, and the truth that now lies ahead with this flagship title’s final release four years in production being finally upon us!
