Review: Modern Warfare 3

January 9, 2012 danbenson One comment

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the latest installment of the Modern Warfare series produced by Infinity Ward and newcomer Sledgehammer Games. The series seems to have a relatively simple formula for success; provide a fairly entertaining single player game and attach it to a revolutionary multiplayer system that sucks grown men (and women) from their real-life duties for hours/days/months on end. This formula has produced mind boggling results in revenue, and it has done so once again with Modern Warfare 3. However, do we get our money’s worth in entertainment?

Review: Battlefield 3 (Single Player)

November 2, 2011 Tristan Rendo Leave a comment

You know it’s November when the Battlefields and Call of Duty’s are migrating to store shelves around the world. For the past couple of years EA has been making some rather serious attempts to steal some of Call of Duty’s thunder, mostly by trying to emulate Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’s success. There have been some interesting attempts along […]

Reviews from the Clearance Bin: NBA Jam (Xbox 360, PS3)

September 7, 2011 Tristan Rendo Leave a comment

Like many others my age, I wasted plenty of time and quarters on the classic NBA Jam back in the days of Super Nintendo and local arcades. As a result, I was excited to hear that EA Sports intended to bring the game to the modern console era. The classic gameplay was, simply put, a total blast and I figured […]

Review: Wet

August 13, 2011 Tristan Rendo Leave a comment

Do you like gritty mobster flicks? Is a B-movie more like an A-movie to you? Wet is a game designed for you then. Ruby, the protagonist of Wet, is one of the most skilled guns for hire in the world and she has just been double-crossed. You will fight through various groups of petty thugs in an attempt to uncover […]

Review: Singularity

August 12, 2011 Tristan Rendo Leave a comment

Singularity is a FPS with a twist; that twist is time travel and manipulation. The hero of the game is a Special Forces soldier sent to an abandoned soviet era research facility located on an isolated island. What he finds is an anomaly caused by the research materials used there that sends him back in time. Unknowingly he saves a […]

Review: Naughty Bear

August 11, 2011 Tristan Rendo Leave a comment

Naughty Bear puts you in the shoes, or paws rather, of a murderous, conniving, brutally violent but simply misunderstood over-sized teddy bear called Naughty. Over the course of a couple of missions, Naughty will fight and frighten the other bears on Perfection island for his own survival, to lash out at a society that has rejected him and of course […]

Review: Boulder Dash XL (XBLA)

July 20, 2011 Tristan Rendo Leave a comment

It’s possible that Boulder Dash XL’s release on Xbox Live passed by completely under your radar. With the release of Twisted Pixel’s Ms. Splosion Man and the upcoming Summer of Arcade promotion, this sequel/update of a classic 8-bit adventure didn’t take much effort to overlook. As is often the case though, the game with the least amount of hype can […]

Review: Transformers: Dark of the Moon

July 6, 2011 Tristan Rendo Leave a comment

As I stared at the RedBox kiosk outside my local Walgreens, I glanced back down at my phone. The promotional code sent to me would be good for a free DVD rental, or as I have learned from past experience, a dollar off of a game rental. I glanced back up at the kiosk and thought to myself, “Well… it […]

Review: Monopoly Streets (Xbox 360)

June 30, 2011 Tristan Rendo Leave a comment

Board games made into video games are a weird breed. Often we play video games alone, even when we play with other people (that is to say we are alone in the room). Meanwhile, board games are typically social experiences, played with family and friends on a rainy day or as just a good old-fashioned time waster. As a result, […]
