When Halo 3 dropped, I was sucked into the hype machine along with everyone else.  Having been a huge fan of the franchise since the first game convinced me to buy the original xbox, I had high hopes for Halo 3. The game’s campaign was barely above average but the game’s multiplayer was...

Batman: Arkham Asylum (Xbox 360, PS3)

Superhero games are similar to games based on popular movies: both take well established and marketable franchises and churn out pure crap in video game form.   I honestly can’t remember the last time there was a good video game based on a super hero franchise. The only decent one that comes...

inFAMOUS (PS3)

I didn’t know much about Infamous leading up to the game’s release, but once I saw a few gameplay videos and read a little about it, I was hooked.  The game is a mix between Crackdown, GTA, and Assassin’s Creed, combining the best elements of all three.  You play as Cole, a bike messenger...

UFC: Undisputed (Xbox 360, PS3)

MMA fans have been waiting for a game that would capture the excitement and depth of the sport they love.   Although PRIDE FC had released an MMA game a few years back, it didn’t even come close to capturing the details of such an intricate sport as mixed martial arts. UFC: Undisputed is the...
