Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (9.9/10)

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune

I didn’t’ even notice this game in the flurry of new titles during the holiday season, but man am I glad I rented it. This title is a spectacular spin on games like Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia, with perhaps a little GTA thrown in, albeit without the extensive sandbox feel of titles like GTA and Tomb Raider. The graphics are some of the most jaw dropping I’ve seen in the next-gen consoles, and I’m sure the fact that they are running on the PS3 over the Xbox 360 doesn’t hurt either. I’m not sure, but I think that they are only at 720p, which, if so, is a sweet indicator of what these new consoles can do. Read more »

Soldier of Fortune: Payback (4/10)

Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back

This game is a fundamental reason why I rent. I would have been sorely disappointed if I had rented it, but I was stupid and bought it with a gift card I had, which is the only reason I didn’t feel as much of the pain of not even receiving the value of the plastic the packaging came in. Any shooter aficionados out there don’t even bother playing this piece of garbage even if someone PAYS you. (Or pays you back…. ok sorry bad joke). Allow me to give this game some further, but short abuse, as it isn’t even worth the time to spend too long reviewing. Read more »

Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction (9.5/10)

Tools of Destruction

I usually stay away from kid oriented games, but every once in a while I just have to play a few. I was sorely disappointed with the new Sonic for example; it was so bad it didn’t deserve a review. This game looked silly at the beginning but once you play it for awhile you really get into it. I have never seen so many weapons, and new stuff that is very innovative. Granted I haven’t played the earlier versions so I have no idea what is new to this game. Read more »

Xbox 360 Instant Messenger Kit

Messenger Kit

The Messenger kit has been in stores for a couple of months now and I have given it a good run. This kit has been anticipated for release sometime before hand because of the spring 2007 update which added the ability for instant messaging with Microsoft MSN/Windows Live messenger application. Only problem is, using a joystick to type IM messages were far from intuitive or instant. Read more »
