Curing the Infection - One Bullet At a Time ! by bigtruckseries Pros: 28 DAYS LATER THE GAME !
Excellent game design Cons: No Chainsaws???? LEFT 4 DEAD is a perfect example of why VALVE software will go down in history as one of the most important companies in game development. Rather than try and wow us with sophisticated graphics or attempt to recreate the wheel, what Valve does is ...

A great workout - if you can figure out how to play by ldon526 Pros: A good workout once you figure out the instructions
Cons: Completely inadequate instructions, avatar doesn't sync with players movements In September I was on Amazon.com and I found the game Jillian Michael's Fitness Ultimatum 2009. It was on pre-order for its release in October. I have Wii Fit and Active Life Outdoor Challenge, and ...

A "T" rating? Why so serious? by bigtruckseries Pros: Test your Might and Freefall Kombat
Cons: Recycled Mortal Kombat feels incomplete. "T" rating? WTF? When I heard that the first Mortal Kombat game on the Xbox360/PS3 was going to consist of Mortal Kombat’s character fighting against the characters of DC comics, I thought it was a joke. Honestly, I’ve never been a major fan of DC comics ...

Geared Toward Kids, But I Like It Too!: I Spy: Fun House for DS by moonsista Pros: All ten games are fun; for all ages; neat carnival theme; easy to learn; colorful
Cons: No multi-player ability; most adults will not find it "deep" enough Since I got my Nintendo DS, I've been collecting an ever-growing library of DS games. I now have well over 40 games. I don't like fighting or racing games or anything that is aimed right at children, like children's movie-themed ...

Me Braid Runnah! by booknerd85 Pros: The graphics are still stunning. Immersive, film-accurate settings. Some interesting plot elements.
Cons: There's not much "game" here, and what's here is often simplistic and unnecessarily frustrating. Los Angeles, November 2019. A glorious utopia where global warming*, traffic congestion**, housing and labor shortages***, hunger****, drought*****, and brownouts******, are all a thing of the past. You're Ray McCoy, a rookie cop who owns a flying car, ...

"Uwee-hee-hee, good, good, burn them all to a crisp!" by thewisefool Pros: The GBA port of the classic RPG has all the elements making this game great.
Cons: Cons for Final Fantasy VI are so minuscule they aren't worth mentioning here. Many Americans were introduced to RPG video games by way of Final Fantasy VII in 1997, but for a significant portion of gamers of similar age, the first excitement of the Final Fantasy series (and RPGs in general) actually came from either ...

Run Faith, Run. by chrisell Pros: Wide-open game areas, clever story, great graphics and sound. First of a kind.
Cons: Clumsy fight mechanics. Style is different enough that some gamers might not take to it. Mirror's Edge is an unique game, and I like unique games. It's always difficult for publishers to come up with a new idea and make it into a game that works, but with Mirror's Edge, EA / Dice seem to have managed it.The basic premise is simple - ...

They're Still Trapped On The Ferris Wheel by Dbbum Pros: Brand new rides, scenery, scenarios, custom creation utilities

RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 was released in 2002 and is the sequel to the original RollerCoaster Tycoon back in 1999. This time around Hasbro is ...

Vacation Mario by BaronSamedi3 Pros: Despite all the water, few actual water levels
Cons: The feeling of intentional sadism you'll get after repeatedly failing sometimes Poor Mario! He just can't seem to escape trouble, even when he flees his home in the Mushroom Kingdom for a much-deserved holiday at the beautiful resort of Isle Delfino. As Mario, Peach, and an army of Toads large enough to take over Belgium fly toward ...

High Adventure Awaits in Azeroth's Frozen North by mickp Pros: Tweaked graphics, gorgeous areas, fun quests. Wonderful new features and rich storytelling.

gamer humour site purepwnage.com features lyrics proclaiming World of Warcraft to be “The best game (they) ever played”. ...

Things that make you go BOOM - Gears of War by Rock_On Pros: Fast action, active reload, interesting weapons, cooperative play
Cons: Cover controls has some bugs, campaign incredibly short With the excitement and major hype surrounding the release of Gears of War 2, the few people left that hadn't played its 2006 Game of the Year predecessor were left wondering what was so great about it. A lot along the lines of the success that ...

From Cult to Mainstream - The "Modernization" of a Classic. by mickp Pros: Lovely graphics, excellent sound. A nice voice acting cast. Decent enough game.
Cons: Making a completely different game and attaching themes and objects doesn't make a Fallout sequel. Anticipation turns to trepidation:Fallout 3 would have to be one of the top ten games I have "most anticipated" in my lifetime. For better than a decade the previous entries in the series kept me coming back. Technically superior games ...

Trapped in Time by onionhead2001 Pros: Long quest, for those inclined. Fun "VATS" combat system. Solid RPG elements.
Cons: Horrible character graphics and voice acting. Tedious quest structure. Crippling bugs. Maybe I'm just missing something. Now, really... don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this game. I did. I spent 50 hours exploring the nuclear wasteland that was once Washington DC, and I consdier this to be a decent addition to ...

Cons: Lacking much of what I liked from previous Bond games. If you liked the cool gadgets like the Q spider, laser watch, briefcase turret, and so forth from previous Bond games. Also if you liked the cool cars with the cool gadgets and multipleplayer mode Quantum of Solace may not be for you. Maybe ...

A Review of Sonic CD by BaronSamedi3 Pros: It's fast!
Cons: Doesn't live up to its own hype. Note: This is a review of Sonic CD and Sonic CD ONLY. Epinions is crap. When I searched for Sonic CD, it actually did come up with a link, but that link was strictly to Amazon, where I could compare prices. For whatever dumb reason, Epinions won't let me ...

Kevlog and the Bandit....I can finally drive a big rig! by kevlog Pros: Nice graphics for the money.
Cons: Control of the steering isn't as great as with real steering wheel. Sometimes, after a long day sitting at my desk job in corporate America, I feel the need to head out onto the open road. Of course the wife and kids and responsibilities of my home life (somebody has to take out the trash) usually keep me from doing ...

Great as a fun game, Mediocre or still ok if taken seriously. by sp3ctre18 Pros: Creators can make awesome creations; fun; experience of cell to space-faring beings; for all ages
Cons: Creators need more simple shapes, gameplay not deep, evil DRM; customers pay pirates' deeds. Spore was one of most anticipated games of this year. It was meant to be something like a Sim-Everything, 5 games in one. And anyone who's like me knew the proper reaction to the idea they could pull it off, well, was something like "yeah right" and ...

Mirror's Edge - All Hype, No Edge by t13monkeys Pros: premise is cool

Does Activision's First 007 Title Live Or (Let) Die? by Shaunpm60 Pros: Good use of Call Of Duty 4 engine, good presentation. Not a failure.
Cons: More Casino than Quantum, no driving segments, short, lacks variety. As you may have figured out by now, Activision is the new publisher/holder of the 007 franchise. The first game to be released from the company isn't by any means bad, but if they were ever thinking of differentiating themselves from what EA has produced ...

Despite some issues, this is an ambitious game by garethvk Pros: Weapons degrade, malaria, open maps and missions.
Cons: can be repetitive, A.I. is just ok. In Far Cry 2, the new first person shooter from Ubisoft players get immersed into an open world environment that is utterly beautiful as it is deadly. As the game opens, players select the character they wish to play and are treated to a lavish ...

Surrounded by hordes of zombies, will you be Left 4 Dead or will you survive? by jbrd Pros: Excellent premise and brilliant execution, graphics.

Run and don't look back or would we be like the four survivors in Left 4 Dead and fight? I, for one, would like to just run and get the hell out, but whats the fun in that ...

Welcome To Post-Apocalyptia - Fallout 3 by awoolcott Pros: Another huge world, numerous great quests
Cons: The main quest is pretty meh-tastic In some circles, Fallout 3 is one of the most controversial games ever. Not for what you think; instead, it's a battle between old-school Fallout players whom were into the series when it was PC-only, and new owner Bethesda, who acquired the rights a few ...
