The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Review

By Chris Watters
Posted Jan 14, 2009 6:51 pm PT

The Lord of the Rings: Conquest is an exciting and action-packed way to experience Middle-earth, provided that you have the patience and fortitude to shoulder a few frustrating burdens.

The Lord of the Rings universe is full of memorable battles. No matter whether they are staged in a [...]

Rock Band 2 Review

By Aaron Thomas
Posted Nov 12, 2008 4:14 pm PT

Even though Rock Band 2 plays it safe with only minor improvements and additions, it still rocks.

The first Rock Band revolutionized the way music games were played; however, its sequel is more of an evolutionary step forward. A huge song list and the ability to play World [...]

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Review

By Justin Calvert
Posted Nov 10, 2008 10:33 pm PT

This enjoyable anime-inspired fighter nails the look and feel of the source material but places too much importance on mediocre minigames.

Naruto Uzumaki is a colorful ninja who excels in combat but can be kind of annoying. It’s therefore fitting (if unfortunate) that while Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm [...]

Vampire Rain: Altered Species Review

By Brett Todd
Posted Sep 8, 2008 6:31 pm PT

A year after its disastrous debut on the Xbox 360, Vampire Rain is still a pain in the neck.

Vampire games apparently can’t be staked. If they could be finished off a la Van Helsing, you can bet that Vampire Rain: Altered Species would never have made it [...]

Monster Madness: Grave Danger Review

By Carolyn Petit
Posted Aug 27, 2008 5:39 pm PT

An improved control scheme and online campaign support aren’t enough to save Monster Madness from mediocrity.

Released last year for the PC and Xbox 360, Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia tried to dress up the fun of classic top-down arcade games such as Gauntlet in the [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Review

By Randolph Ramsay
Posted Aug 27, 2008 5:46 pm PT

Exciting for Ferrari fans, but take away the licence and you’re left with a competent racer with only average looks, poor AI opponents, and not enough variety.

A racing game focused entirely on one car manufacturer seems like a bit of an anachronism nowadays, and System [...]

N+ Review

By Don Francis
Posted Aug 26, 2008 6:54 pm PT

The addictive gameplay and stylish design of N+ fit almost perfectly into the tight confines of today’s handhelds.

Not too long ago, an aspiring designer created a series of death traps for ninjas. These traps were not merely cunning mazes or killing-machine-filled rooms, but also a downloadable [...]

Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice Review

By Lark Anderson
Posted Aug 26, 2008 6:55 pm PT

Pure, unadulterated fan service for the Nippon Ichi faithful and strategy RPG enthusiasts, though outsiders may find it incomprehensible.

The Disgaea series has long been a bastion of excellence in the realm of strategy role-playing games, and though Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice is no exception, it’s [...]

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 Review

By Aaron Thomas
Posted Aug 26, 2008 6:57 pm PT

Friendlier controls and a host of other improvements make Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 great.

Tiger Woods 08’s touchy controls, iffy online play, and a general lack of new content made for one disappointing game. But just as Tiger didn’t let torn ligaments and a broken leg [...]

Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy

By Chris Watters

Since the release of The Bourne Identity in 2002, Robert Ludlum’s titular amnesiac spy has thrilled movie audiences with fast, brutal combat and tense action sequences. When developer High Moon Studios set out to create a game starring Jason Bourne, it drew on the electric choreography of the movies as well as the [...]
