Syberia
You have to commend Tetraedge for their effort in porting Syberia to the Nintendo DS. The very fact that they somehow managed to shrink a complex narrative and an intriguing, beautiful world onto a handheld in the first place is an impressive feat. Unfortunately, the qualities that made Syberia the...
Rock Band 2 for Wii fixes every problem the original game had on the system and even adds pleasant new features. Aside from a little less detail in the visuals, this is identical to what Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players have been playing since September. It's a more user-friendly...
If you can get over the lackluster production values, you'll find an incredibly well-paced and engaging game that immerses you into a remarkable world that you can do what you will in. You can be the hero, the villain, or just a guy or gal trying to get by. This...
Instead of trying to shoehorn all the same exact things from the console title into the heavier restrictions of the handheld hardware, the team at Santa Cruz Studios pulled off a decent experience specifically for the portable crowd. The game isnt without its flaws and there are definite places where...
Madagascar Escape 2 Africa is a generic and rather boring affair. It looks good and sounds great, but the gameplay doesn't do anything original. The stuff that is in there is basic and the game offers no challenge. It does have a variety of things to do and the play...
The lack of HUD keeps you immersed in the game world, free to enjoy the subtle transitions in colour and design from one region to the next, or to take in the excellent compositions at play during moments of tranquillity. Everything about Price of Persia shares this same calibre of...
Still, it is Guitar Hero and the formula can deliver a lot of fun. The game is easier than any before it, which makes it a nice choice for anybody looking to jump in and try out a Guitar Hero game for the first time. Just double check your status...
As for now, Blizzard is more than content to build on World of Warcraft's formula, improving and refining nearly every aspect of the game, delivering new quest systems, a better and more focused narrative, loads of new goals to chase by yourself or with friends, and made acclimating to its...
The Last Remnant is a technical mess, but it's also behind the curve in so many ways. While games like Fallout 3 and Mass Effect use voiceovers for every conversation, The Last Remnant doesn't even voice every main story sequence. While games like Eternal Sonata offer immaculately detailed environments, The...
Need For Speed Undercover is a difficult game to completely write off – for the most part, at least on 360, it plays fine. The cities are bland and generally uninteresting, but the cars look good and they handle well. That's normally half the battle. If you haven't played a...
There is no harm in playing this game. It may even be right for some, but for the gaming crowd, even the adventure gaming crowd, it's not worth it. Taking a novel written for adults and skinning it with children's coloring book activities is a losing proposition no matter what...
Although World at War too often feels like a refit, it’s a refit of one of the greatest games of the current generation - and one that’s, by and large, been confidently handled by Treyarch. The WWII setting compounds the wearying feeling of over-familiarity, but the solid engine that powers...
