Crime Scene Review
It’s not often that I find myself having to look through the instruction booklet of a game just to learn how to play it. Most games these days offer in game tutorials, and start off basic enough that even the most moderate of gamers won’t have much trouble quickly catching on to the mechanics.

9. March 2010
The newest batch of Resident Evil 5 DLC was just released this past Thursday for PSN and Tuesday for XBL. This time around, you play as Josh Stone and Jill Valentine after her liberation from Wesker's grasp at the hands of Chris and Sheva. It details their escape from the harbor area and shows their epic battle against the countless number of Majini.

8. March 2010
Since playing and watching how God of War II ended, I couldn’t wait for the last game in the series that will put an end to Kratos’ journey. With God of War III finally here, there are a lot of things to talk about as to why game could potentially be a contender for Game of the Year. The game has indeed nice graphics but what else is there to look forward to?

8. March 2010
DICE has released their sequel to their well received game Battlefield: Bad Company in 2008. The game takes everything it excelled at such as tactical decisions, addictive multiplayer, and amazing destruction and improves on them all while correcting its weak points to make this a true contender for the #1 spot for the FPS genre. Welcome back to Bad Company! Marlowe, Sweetwater, Sarge, and Haggard are taking charge once again in the infamous B-Company.

8. March 2010
Ah, the good old days. Nothing was better than waking up on a Saturday morning, and after cereal and cartoons, going to the grocery store and begging your mom for a bag of those artificial chemical smelling, shiny green plastic army men. There’s something delightfully nostalgic about Signal Studio’s Toy Soldiers, and that quality alone sets it apart from other one-off’s that have flooded the so-called “tower defense” genre.

4. March 2010
Many Mega Man fans will remember how Mega Man 9's difficulty and cheap deaths made it a game that only appealed to seasoned veterans who had been with the series from the beginning. A year and a half later Mega Man 10 has been released and it looks to gain a wider audience by toning it down a bit in certain areas while still pleasing its loyal followers. The story here is simple.

2. March 2010
Lunar Silver Star Harmony is a remake of the classic PS1 RPG Lunar: Silver Star Story. The PSP sees a lot of ports and remakes, some good and some bad. Being a part of the PlayStation family, it seems obvious to use the handheld to bring some of the RPGs of days gone by back to life, in the form of an updated remake. Meaning it will bring an entirely new audience to the series.

28. February 2010
Fans of Borderlands rejoice; the game’s third downloadable content package, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, delivers more of what you’ve come to know and love from this sleeper hit. With new areas to explore, new foes to fight and (even more exciting) a new level cap, what’s not to love about this expansion?

28. February 2010
When it comes to movie-based games, I try to get away from them as much as possible due to the fact that most of them suck. The last movie-based title that I played was Toy Story 2 and that was released on the PSOne back in 1999. Sure, I loved it because I was a fan of Buzz Lightyear during those years. Now that I'm in my twenties, I gave myself a try for another Disney movie based game; this time it's Alice in Wonderland.

26. February 2010
Since Deadly Premonition was first announced during E3, I already have a premonition on how this game will turn out. I was intrigued by the trailers that were shown to me and quite honestly, it was one of the games I've been anticipating the most. From the looks of the trailer, the game seems to be very mysterious due to some scary scenes. With Deadly Premonition finally out in stores, how does a low budget game stand out with all the other survival-horror games out there?

The fourth game however, the Last Hope, was an exclusive on the XBOX 360 but later, Square-Enix decided to bring Last Hope on the PlayStation 3 with goodies of course.

RISEN for the XBOX 360 is one of the RPGs that every RPG gamer has been waiting for to come out to North America ever since it was first released in Europe, Australia and New Zealand back in October 2009. Developed by Piranha Bytes, the makers of the Gothic Series, RISEN is another RPG game that will consume a lot of your time.

20. February 2010
For years now, the Aliens and Predator movies have been a staple to every sci-fi fanatics collection. You can't even mention Predator today without someone yelling GET TO THE CHOPPAAAA!!! in their best impression of Arnold. Aliens and Predators first met on the battlefield was in the February 1990 issue of Dark Horse Comics Presents #36.

18. February 2010
It’s probably been a while since you’ve played Resident Evil 5. After beating the game on Professional, acquiring all of the figurines and maxing out all of your favorite weapons, it’s finally time to open that game case up and pop in the disk… for old time’s sake. Lost In Nightmares is the [...]

18. February 2010
The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, released by developers The Odd Gentlemen and 2KPlay, is a mind challenging, brain busting test for the mind with unique and dazzling visuals. The Xbox Live Arcade Library is home to many quirky and hard-to-market games, and this game is no exception. Part Shel Silverstein, part 1920’s Charlie Chaplin movie and part M.C. Escher painting, this puzzler follows Mr. Winterbottom, a sniveling pie thief, in his quest to capture every last morsel of pastry goodness.
