MVP goes out with style. You know what really irks me about the recent exclusivity licenses given to EA (Football) and Take Two (Baseball)? It's the fact that the licenses had been taken away from the games I liked (NFL 2K5 and MVP Baseball) and got awarded to their statistically worse opponents, Madden and MLB 2K5 (at...

Nothing Special. After having the same two controllers since the Xbox 360 launched in 2005, I finally decided to take the plunge on this new one with the transforming D-pad. Long story short, it's really nothing new or special at all. The main feature of the controller is the transforming directional pad. With a simpl...

this is fine, but if you do not have access to . This Xbox One comes with the digital download versions of the game, this is fine, but if you do not have access to the internet, good luck downloading them.

Slow loading between levels and buggy but also nice graphics and fun albeit basic gameplay. The visuals are beautiful for this game, as many of the reviews on the web mention. Five stars for that. The storyline/gameplay is pretty much linear, which is understandable but feels a bit constraining after playing lots of ...

it went platinum for a REASON. oh my god where to begin! alright, let me say this, this game is like metal gear solid but without the plotline that makes you question the meaning of purpose, hence it's FUN. use tactics like car bombs, poison, sniper rifles and piano wire to kill your enemies, and that's only the stuff ...

Great potential, but frustrating gameplay. I played this game on normal difficulty, and have a considerable amount of gaming experience.

Second Grader Approved. I'm a gamer from way back, and when I had kids, I knew I wanted to let them game, but in controlled amounts. Then we got a Kinect. When I saw how much jumping around my rather sedentary eight-year-old daughter does when she plays it, I was sold. In fact, she gets such good exercise when she p...

Interesting, but has its flaws. I just finished a stealth playthrough of the game. To me, it was a somewhat frustrating experience, but still fun. I wanted the good ending, so I killed as few people as possible, but I did resort to direct combat at times. Attacking people directly is not only quicker, but there is als...

Amazing graphics and fighting styles. Sure, we've been spoiled recently with incredible graphics in fighting games. Tekken, on the Playstation 2, is one of my favorites, with its shimmering waters and floating leaves. It's pretty amazing that barely a year later, it's been blown out of the water! First, I have to admit...

The Zenith of Role Playing Games. After playing this game for over one hundred hours I believe I have an adequate amount of time spent for an accurate review.

Sid Meier's Pirates. This game isn't Sid Meier's Ninjas! I just have to accept that and review that game I actually played instead the potential awesomeness I could've played.

Hate yourself, not the game. I can't understand why people are being so negative towards this game.

Respect the Game. Movie tie-ins are usually a rather tiresome affair. They sell bundles of units and are more often than not a large pile of mediocrity. The Godfather game is different.

One-player review (stick to what you are good at. Left 4 Dead 2 has to be one of the best improvements in a game that I have seen in a long time.

It's 100% worth 15 bucks especially when the servers don't work. I am torn on how I really feel about this game. Much of it has to do with the fact that no matter which way you decide to buy this game, you are only getting a portion at a time and much of the replayability relies on your online connection. In a sense, ...

I went on an Easter Egg Hunt and a War Broke Out.

95 hours. Yes, 95 fulfilling hours... That is how much time I have into this game. Even so, I am only about halfway through it.

An exceptional fighting game. Prior to the release of Street Fighter IV, part of me was wondering why I even wanted to buy this.

Definitely NOT for adults, but not intolerable for them, either. . I got this game because I have an eight year old kid who I also took to the movies to see "The Smurfs 2".

Feels unfinished. I'm a very big fan of RE and have been excited about this game for years. I wanted to like it, even when I felt the temptation to turn it off after an hour I kept going.

Fantastic gameplay and little else. As always let's start with positive because everyone likes good news. The core gameplay is phenomenal. Phenomenal.

Fingerprints of a Masterpiece. Greetings Amazonites. Alan Wake has the fingerprints of a masterpiece on it, but the game itself falls short of such a title.

Great Game. Being a fan of Romero's original Dawn of the Dead, I was hot to buy this game when it came out, even to the point of buying a whole new system (the 360), but hesitated because of reviews that warned that you don't have time to explore the mall and have fun on your own, you have to do the 'cases'.
