Halo: Combat Evolved

Published on: 23rd May, 2009

As a first-person shooter, Halo: Combat Evolved has a gameplay fundamentally similar to that of its peers, focusing on combat in a 3D environment, and taking place almost entirely from a character’s eye view. The player can move around and look up, down, left or right.The game features vehicles, ranging from armored jeeps (Warthog) to [...]

halo 2

Published on: 23rd May, 2009

Halo 2 is a story-driven action-shooter game with a first-person perspective.[12] The game features an expanded range of vehicles, as well as other gameplay changes compared to its predecessor. The original Halo featured separate health and shield bars. In Halo 2, the health bar is no longer visible; instead, the player’s shield regenerates quickly when [...]

No More Heroes Not Coming To Xbox 360 Or PS3

Published on: 22nd May, 2009

One Wii game that the “hardcore” 360 and PS3 owners would love to get their hands on is Grasshopper’s No More Heroes. Unfortunately, a port doesn’t seem likely in the near future. “Actually, a lot of the fans were dying to play the game on other consoles, so I think it’d be great if I [...]

Conflict: Denied Ops

Published on: 18th May, 2009

In many ways, these shortcomings are forgivable because the game runs at such a frantic pace you’ll rarely stop to notice the excessive use of brown crates. More importantly, there’s a wide range of locations and missions styles to master. The Koyle Castle and Salem Union Saw Mill stages require more stealth, so Graves takes [...]

Commanders

Published on: 18th May, 2009

Nintendo’s Advance Wars is a fantastic series. The franchise took the normally intimidating war/strategy genre and boiled it down to a very playable, very rookie-friendly game that managed to offer all the depth of a good war game without all of the confusion. Now that style of game comes to Xbox Live Arcade with Commanders, [...]

N+ – Xbox Live Arcade

Published on: 18th May, 2009

It would be easy to simply bitch and moan over the fact that N started life as a free, downloadable internet game. Why should these people expect us to fork over almost 10 bucks for something they were giving away not that long ago? OK, that’s fair. But if you don’t want to fork over [...]

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Published on: 16th May, 2009

[Editor's Note, Nov 9, 2007: We've changed this game's score from the original 9 up to a 10. The reason is simple: the more we play the game, especially against real people online, the more we grow to love it and the less we mind its few faults. It's still not perfect or even particularly [...]

LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga

Published on: 16th May, 2009

So you’ve caused a brick-showering gunfight in the Cantina. You’ve abused the Force to stack up some empty beer bottles – then rolled a bowling ball through the lot of them. You’ve built a little LEGO car and pootled happily around one of those flat plastic Lego roads with the bobbly grass on. You’ve created [...]

Assassin’s Creed

Published on: 16th May, 2009

We’re just going to come right out and say it: Assassin’s Creed is fantastic. More to the point, it’s beautifully realized, richly detailed and carried by a story with twists that rival the surprises of BioShock. It’s also endlessly fun, giving players complete freedom to tear ass across the rooftops and streets of its medieval [...]

Tomb Raider: Anniversary

Published on: 16th May, 2009

You had to see this one coming. Despite all the hooplah about Lara returning to the console that made her famous (well, its successor, anyhow), you had to know that the PlayStation 2 would not be the only place you could get your Tomb Raider Anniversary fix. Now, the game that looked uncannily good on [...]
