And another discrepancy I have with this game is how the camera hasn’t really been fixed. Especially with Ratchet’s new Hover Boots. The camera can be very frustrating at times. Sometimes the camera will stay in a certain fixed position in a boss fight, while you fall to your death...
The game also seems to not have taken full use of its extended development time as both characters and the environments look very rough around the edges and there are all sorts of crazy animation glitches such as weapons floating in mid air and dead bodies seemingly having a fit....
LotR: Conquest sounds fantastic. Featuring an incredible soundtrack that mimics the movies’ majestic orchestral themes, it feels as if you are in the movies fighting a desperate battle at The Black Gate or storming Helms Deep. The cut scenes taken from the movies also add to this effect of immersion...
One thing that players of Moon must understand is that it is not intended to be a Halo or Doom-esq shooter, it has far too many adventure / puzzle elements to be considered and out n’ out shooter. That said however, the shooting in the game is very well done...
The graphics in Web of Shadows looks almost like a PS2 game, with poorly detailed characters and incredibly blocky buildings that are impeccably straight. There is a distinct lack of diverse enemies and fighting the same things over and over again will get repetitive quickly, especially when coupled with the...

So in the end, Final Fantasy XII–while totally undeserving of many game of year awards it received after it was released–is not a complete failure. It retains a solid battle system, excellent voice-acting and gorgeous cutscenes with top-end graphics that we’d expect from industry giant, Square-Enix. It’s just a shame...

Hello all, Zack of… here. It has come to my attention I do very little Xbox 360 news and alot of criticizing of games, news, articles, life, politics, and pretty much everything I can get a laugh at. So thanks to Will, I have accepted my place as a critic....
Considered the greatest Metal Gear Solid game of all time, I'll be the judge of that. Hideo Kojima's masterpiece comes to a highly climactic ending with the
