Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2: Not Revolutionary
January 7, 2008 | Filed Under Game Reviews | No Comments
Evidently the creators of the Dance Dance Revolution Universe don’t feel the need to change the mechanics of the game, but rather believe that changing track listings will suffice.
For some dancers, this may be just the ticket to hours more enjoyment, shaking their groove thang, but the same game has been sold for the last ten years with little or no upgrades. The burnout factor grows with each new reissue.
CSI: Hard Evidence—Playing to the Choir
January 7, 2008 | Filed Under Game Reviews | No Comments
As anyone who watches the TV show CSI knows, the attraction is in the oddities of crime the team encounters added to the quirky CSI cast of characters.
CSI: Hard Evidence does just enough with both of these features to make the video game appealing, but if you are one of the few hermits out there who does not watch the show, you will not like this game.
Crash of the Titans: How the Mighty Have Fallen
January 7, 2008 | Filed Under Game Reviews | No Comments
Crash Bandicoot reappears in this game and his past history dictates the story line to the detriment of the entire game. The cast of characters hasn’t moved the action forward in the least. Dr. Neo Cortex is the villain again and this fact only makes the engagements less interesting because you are acquainted with him from previous versions. Cortex again has megalomaniacal plans to conquer the world and you must take arms to prevent him.
Crackdown: Addicts Only
January 7, 2008 | Filed Under Game Reviews | No Comments
Missions in Crackdown are comprised of collecting two types of orbs from the gang leaders of the three separate gang factions in this open world game. Where is the fun in that, you ask? The adventure is in the exploration of what initially seems like a limited world to move in but you soon find that your power-ups propel you to the tops of buildings where you can jump around exponentially like Spiderman.

Virtua Fighter 5 is a release by Sega of America Inc for the Xbox 360. A new copy will set you back by $57.99 on Amazon. This is the latest in the line of offline games that have gone online. It does a remarkable job of it.

Gotham Racing 4 has been created by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 and is available on Amazon at a price of $59.99. This game comes after 2005’s Project Gotham Racing 3. The quality of the Project Gotham series continues with this latest offering featuring amazing graphics and great online options.
The PGR formula that has been so successful is continued in this series with brilliant visuals and enticing gameplay. There are great weather effects and new rides in this one. In addition there are also motorcycles in this game. You can find yourself driving through fog, rain and snow in this one.
ArKadian Warriors For the Xbox 360 Game Review
January 1, 2008 | Filed Under Game Reviews | No Comments
One of the issues I had with Arcadian Warriors is its predictability and the fact that it follows formula too strictly. The game is full of hack-slash and little imagination. Those who are used to the genre of action role playing games will find this to be pretty familiar turf.
There isn’t much choice in characters here. You can choose to be either a sorceress, a soldier or an archer. You can’t customize the characters much either.
