WET Review

WET is a third person action shooter. You play as Rubi a mercenary for hire. Her first job is to rescue the son of a crime lord. The game pays homage to the B-List movies of the 70s nd actually game itself looks like a movie. During this movie small black spots appear on the screen just like it the drive-ins of back then and also many Drive-in commercials from the 70s are played during the game ab...[Read More]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii Review

New Super Mario Bros Wii is a 2D side scrolling platforming game. It’s a return to the roots and truly a gumbo of everything 2D Mario in many ways. The game’s namesake is similar to the DS game that was released a few years ago but this Wii version is better in just about every way. Do not let the slightly generic name fool you. New Super mario Bros. Wii is a very fun game with style. ...[Read More]

Demon’s Souls Impressions

Demon’s Souls is an RPG and the first thing you do is set up your character. Your standard options like genre, class, facial details. You start off with a Tutorial that shows you the basic things you will need to know in the game. Mainly it just includes combat, as well as defense and using items. To start off I have to say this is possibly the hardest game out there at the moment. DemonR...[Read More]

NBA 2K10 Review

Every year companies like EA and 2K Sports unleash a barrage of new sports games upon the world with just enough upgrades to keep die hard fans coming back for more and to attract a few noobs here and there. I myself am no exception to the rule. I own Madden ‘95, ’98, ‘06, ‘09, and ‘10 but the truth of the matter is I haven’t bought a basketball game since NBA Shoot Out (1996). This year I got my ...[Read More]

Assassin’s Creed : Altair’s Chronicles DS Review

Grand Theft Auto IV was released on the Xbox 360/PS3 and later a version was made on the DS and that game was great. Sadly I can’t say the same about the Assassin’s Creed : Altair’s Chronicles. I was a big fan of the Assassin’s Creed game that came out on the Xbox 360/PS3 so I decided to check this one out. Sadly it didn’t compare. First of all Assassin’s Creed : Altair’s Chronicles is...[Read More]

Family Fun Football Wii Review

Family Fun Football was one of the few games in recent months that took me by surprise. As the name suggests the game is made to be kid and family friendly though I found the game to be much more appealing than I initially expected. Despite the name and boxart the actual game avoids being overtly corny. The character design is well done with its muppet-esque aesthetic. In short the name of the gam...[Read More]

PS3 Real Triggers Review: Squeezes with No Slips

I had the opportunity to order these from Amazon.com last week with a larger order. The whole free shipping on orders over $25 thing strikes again. I had read some raves about these Playstation 3 controller trigger attachments on various sites including NeoGaf so i figured I would drop the $4.99 and give it shot since shipping would be free. The PS3 Real Triggers are essentially plastic attachment...[Read More]
