Be prepared to schedule your funeral because you will be dying a lot in this game. The enemies are absolutely relentless in their attacks, but most of your deaths will usually be from you not being aware of the surrounding area or getting a little cocky. BZB! has more than...
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.

Overall, Infinite Undiscovery is not the most revolutionary JRPG to grace the new generation, nor does it break new boundaries in the genre, and it is obvious that Tri-Ace did not take enough care with its localizations to give a experience that is equal to its Japanese version, but it’s...
Castle Crashers
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
