R.U.S.E. Review
One of my favorite video game genres is Real Time Strategy and these games are primarily available for PC’s. With me being a console gamer most of the time, I don’t get to enjoy the RTS games like I want to. I was searching around for a decent RTS console game and came across R.U.S.E. The game received some decent reviews and recommendations and I decided to snag a copy off eBay. R.U.S.E. is set during WWII and features a wide variety of game modes. Before I discuss the modes and story in detail, I want to cover my favorite part about the game, the zoom in/out battlefield. Zoom all the way out and you see a table top map with blue and red markings for troops. Zoom all the way in and you see actual soldiers, tanks, artillery, buildings, ... Read More »
Transformers: War for Cybertron Review
I’ve always been a Transformers fan. I enjoyed the cartoons as a child, played with the toys, and I’ve watched the live action movies several times. The one thing that I’ve always wanted from Transformers, was a good video game. When I first heard that High Moon Studios had begun work on a Transformers game, I had low expectations. My first concern was that the game would be a movie based game. As most gamers know, almost all movie based games suffer from low budgets, rushed deadlines and horrible results. Once I learned that the game was going to have it’s own story and not be tied to any movie, I was relieved. Transformers: War for Cybertron was released in June 2010. I purchased the game the week it came out and couldn’t wait to play it. WFC is an ... Read More »
Medal of Honor Review
Medal of Honor is one of the most famous and successful video game franchises of all time. When you think of MoH, you think World War 2. For the 13th edition in the long running series, you experience for the first time a non WW2 setting. Simply titled Medal of Honor, this title is a reboot and takes place during the War in Afghanistan. MoH was released in October 2010 by Danger Close who are affiliated with Electronics Arts and DICE who are famous for Battlefield. The title is the first in the series to feature a Mature rating. I originally passed on the game as I was too focused on Call of Duty at the time. After picking the title up for $20, I was pleasantly surprised. The single player campaign mode takes place in 2002 in Afghanistan. You ... Read More »

G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra Game Review
I was a child of the 80’s and like most kids I fell in love with G.I. Joe. As the years went on and I got into video games, I’ve always dreamed of a good G.I. Joe video game. I’ve played the few games that have come out and haven’t been impressed. When the Rise of Cobra movie was announced I was excited for the release of the video game. It’s frustrating that most movie based video games have a reputation of being low budget, rushed and frankly just not very good. This game is no exception. After reading some previews and early reviews on Rise of Cobra I had made the decision that I wouldn’t purchase this game right away. It didn’t matter how much of Joe fan that I was, I wasn’t spending $50 for a disappointing ... Read More »
