Puzzle Dimension is a puzzle game (no way!) that has you rolling around 3D levels as a metallic ball on a grid, looking to collect all the sunflowers in the area. Simple enough, right? Well, there’s a bunch of stuff in your way, of course! The traps in this game are what make it interesting. There are many different kinds of trap squares; from squares that just crumble after you roll off of them to squares that catch fire after you’ve... Read→
Red Dead Redemption was a widely-anticipated Rockstar game that hit shelves May 18th this year. Rockstar are the same guys that brought us the hugely popular Grand Theft Auto series, as well as Max Payne, the Midnight Club series, and others. Although it is a spiritual successor to 2004′s Red Dead Revolver, not much relates back to it, other than the western setting. You play as John Marston, an ex-gangster in the early 1900′s who is...

“Skate” is the skateboarding series that overtook the subgenre of sports games, knocking Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater out of the public eye. (They also helped to do that themselves with their latest failure of a rebuttal, Tony Hawk: Ride.) With its very advanced and refined Flick-It control scheme, it eliminates the button-mashing trickgasm that once was skateboarding video games. Precision and skill overtaking randomness and luck, it... Read→
Plants vs. Zombies currently is the most popular download at the Itunes store and for good reason. The game was released in February of this year, and in this short period of time became the number one downloaded App in the App store, the number one downloaded game at the Itunes store and is the number one paid application on average. In other words; the game is Apple’s top item and bestseller all around! This being said, I think the popular... Read→
13 more days in Hell is the sequel to the popular 13 days in Hell arcade shooting game. The first was a quite impressive shooting game, where the player had to survive wave after wave of lost souls out for blood. This new installment in what will become an excellent franchise, no doubt, is something quite different, and improves upon many aspects the original was lacking. However, this new installment is not without its flaws either, but overall... Read→
Uncharted 2: One of the most linear, scripted, predetermined games I’ve ever played in my life. Oh, and one of the best. Normally, these qualities hit below the belt, decreasing the overall fun factor of a game. The same cannot be said for Uncharted 2. This game takes linear gameplay, mixes in lots of scripted events that happen around you to make the world come to life, and, with all of this, tells a great story that is very gripping and has...

It took 3 years of developing, and for the fans 3 long years waiting on the end, but now the wait is over, and God of War III has arrived, bringing us the grand finale to Kratos and his relentless quest for revenge. God of War III may not be the last installment of the series that continuously hovered in the top 3 on many gaming fans wish lists, it does bring the final part to this story. There aren’t many changes made to the game play, just a... Read→
As one of the greatest shooting games ever made, Call of Duty Modern Warfare seemed to have it all; great graphics, an exciting story line, awesome gameplay, and cool multiplayer features. Now after high anticipation and much excitement Activision has finally brought us Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 which has completely blown away the original Modern Warfare game. Modern Warfare was full of dramatic moments, action packed scenes, and intense game... Read→
Now, I know that this is just a demo, so it doesn’t really deserve a review, but it’s a pretty hyped-up game, so I figured I’d give it one anyway. The demo hit the Playstation Network today, and I grabbed it as soon as I could. After the long download, and the short-but-seemingly-endless installation, I jumped right on in. I’m actually playing as I type this up… Taking breaks in-between sentences. I can’t put... Read→
James Cameron’s Avatar Game was one of the games I had to buy after I had seen the outstanding movie, 5* rating on the movie. The game was a big let down considering the movie was amazing, I mean overall the game looked really good visually but the game play itself was not as good as it could of been had they had put more thought into it. This game really reminds me of Prince of Persia but in the way that Assassins Creed doesn’t, the... Read→
