Transformers: The Game – Game Review

Posted by in Games

There is a new Transformers Movie and a Game released to go along with it.  This is not the review of that game, this is the review of the game that came out with the first movie, which I think was last year? I don’t know, anyway long story short the game blows.  I started as an autobot, which means you play as Bumblebee (fail already).  Literally within 5 seconds of playing the game, all the cars in town got into a huge pile up, and I was no where…read more

Prince of Persia – Game Review

Posted by in Games

I just finished the Prince of Persia game for PS3, it was a fantastic game, right up my alley. The game is basically a platformer/puzzle solving game, with a little battle thrown in to add some variety, and the free running and platforming play really well and are forgiving enough to not be annoying.  For instance when you run past a ring, you can press O before, during or after it and it will not penalize you, but if you don’t press it at all, you will falll down.

Resistance: Fall of Man – Game Review

Posted by in Games

Since I never bought my PS3 at launch, I easily skipped over this launch title which already has a sequel available.  Natalie was nice enough to let me borrow her copy and I beat the game over the last week.  I wasn’t expecting to like it, it’s basically a first person shooter like Gears of War or Halo, but then as I started playing it I remembered that I loved those games.

Star Wars Force Unleashed – Game Review

Posted by in Games

I literally (at 3:46 AM) finished Star Wars Force Unleashed.  It’s pretty fun running around as an all-powerful Jedi, you don’t really fear anything you come up against and you have all the coolest powers.  What I did come to hate were the so called “quick-time events”, this is the first game I’ve played with this mechanic since Dragonlance and I don’t care for it.  The character is doing some amazing combo that the developers feel the player wouldn’t be able to do themselves, but the whole time I am…read more
