  • MX vs ATV Reflex - Review
    MX vs ATV Reflex is the latest title in the long running MX vs ATV series and it is a whole lot of fun.

  • Tony Hawk RIDE - Review
    It has been many years since a Tony Hawk game has been relevant and, sadly, that doesn’t look like it is going to change this year. Activision and Robomodo took a year off last year to try and reinvigorate the Tony Hawk brand and came back with Tony Hawk RIDE, a game where you control the action yourself on a skateboard peripheral. In theory this should work and...

  • Rogue Warrior - Review
    Rogue Warrior is the latest first person shooter title to hit the market. It is set during the Cold War, a setting that most shooters neglect. There really isn’t much story in the game with the basic premise simply being to prevent Russia from winning the Cold War. Your team is taken out early so you are left to accomplish this objective by yourself. Bethesda aimed...

  • Assassin’s Creed II - Review
    Following up on the success of the original title, Ubisoft has released Assassin’s Creed II and, quite frankly, it is what all sequels should aspire to. The original Assassin’s Creed was very devisive with some people loving it and others complaining about the repetitiveness. While I was on the side that really enjoyed the original title, Assassin’s Creed...

  • Left 4 Dead 2 - Review
    At E3 this past June when Valve announced that we would be seeing Left 4 Dead 2 this year everyone was surprised. Some people were even angry which I never quite understood. Valve promised a more complete experience in Left 4 Dead 2 and they delivered in a big way. There are now five campaigns for you to fight through with an entirely new cast of characters. The enemies...

    The LEGO franchise is one of the most popular and well known in the world. In the past few years that popularity has extended into the digital realm with titles such as Lego Star Wars, Lego Batman and Lego Indiana Jones.
