XCOM: Enemy Within Game
Is it possible to improve an almost perfect game? As strange as it sounds nowadays such a statement - the answer is actually yes. And the Firaxis product “Enemy Within” is the best proof of that statement.
As many people no doubt know, this is a standalone expansion pack for …

London Taxi Rush Hour (Nintendo Wii)
London Taxi Rush Hour (Nintendo Wii) is a game that I really would like to toss out into rush hour. It is a real mess of a video game that could have been at least mildly entertaining had the developers put forth some effort and taken their time. The …
Marvel vs. Capcom Helper Characters: Iceman
Although Iceman can hold his own fighting against an opponent one on one in other games, in the Marvel vs. Capcom game he is featured as a helper character which you can only summon for a limited amount of times during that particular stage of the game.

Crazy Penguin for mobile devices
Developed by Digital Chocolate, the same guys responsible for the awesome BrainEnergy, this is yet another simple yet highly creative mobile game. Moreover, the whole concept of penguins rescuing their monochromatic fellows from the evil paws of sadistic polar bears is one of the funnier ideas put to practice …
Game : Lara Croft And The Guardian Of Light (PC)
What do you do as a game designer when you have a much favored character but your games featuring them are slowly declining and people are noticing? Well, you take everything right back to the drawing board and see what comes up. That’s exactly what has happened with Lara …
Civet’s Odyssey adventure game
This is a somewhat long adventure game about a raccoon out to help his friends. It’s drawn in a bright cartoon style and has many puzzles for you to figure out. While it looks simple, I admit it took me awhile to figure some of the puzzles out! I’m …
RuneScape Dharok’s armor
Dharoks is a very powerful armour normally used in maxing damage, and PKing. Let’s see, is Dharok’s armor worth getting for over 9,000,000GP? I will be showing the pros and cons of this armor.

Studio Liverpool’s new formula one game ‘Formula one 2005′ is a massive improvement from 2004. But there are still a few problems, And Studio Liverpool are yet to make a perfect formula one game. Still this is a very good game and is great fun.

COD4 is rated Mature for its strong language and gore. However, …
Prince of Persia 3: Two Thrones
Great game! I loved this series overall but I would have to say that the 1st and the 3rd were the best. In Two Thrones I loved the puzzles, the pace, the action, the controls, the camera angles, the graphics, and the gameplay period. The length …
Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands
Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands is fun. I like all the other Prince of Persia games. And this one was definitely not a disappointment. The only thing is that the game is no a continuation of the previous games.
In this game the Prince finds the royal palace …
My Vineyard On Facebook
My Vineyard is one of the ever-popular farming games found on Facebook. There are so many now that it’s hard to care about any of the new ones. My Vineyard has kept my attention for a while now, so even though I feel like it’s not the best game …
City of Wonder Facebook Game
This is the game that I’ve been playing for weeks now but still keeps me wondering. I love the concept of evolving through time, from the egyptian setting slowly transcending into the modern times but I couldn’t quite pinpoint if the game is too complex for me to be …
Halo ODST
A trend in gaming seems to be to take what would’ve been a downloadable expansion, and release it as it’s own game. They did it with Left 4 Dead 2 and they’re doing it here.
There’s a campaign mode, but it only lasts about three hours. Nowadays, that …
Medal Of Honor: Airborne for Xbox 360

Roller Rush
If you liked the “tycoon type” game, Diner Dash you will love Roller Rush. There is a 50’s style theme to this game that is set in a Drive In Diner. The background 50’s music was enjoyable and mad the game feel more authentic. However, if …
Flyff
Flyff is a MMORPG, and is free to play, like most other online RPG games. Unlike some of the other, simpler online games on the net, this is not a game for beginners or people who aren’t familiar with the MMORPG style game. The controls are not easy to …
Call Of Duty: World At War for XBox 360
I have to say that I was a little bit disappointed with the new Call of Duty game, Call of Duty: World At War. It takes place during WWII. You play as the United States Marines and the Russian military against the Japanese and Germans. While …
Sudoku
I think that just about any adult who enjoys puzzles, numbers, and problem solving would be a sure bet for readily enjoying the game of Sudoku. In recent years, this game of suspense and mathmatical problem solving has been foreign to most people. Now, however, the puzzles …
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii is an exciting and visually stunning adventure, but sadly it doesn’t require very much motion sensor movement with the exception of a handful of levels. Basically, the game could have been designed to play using the Nintendo Gamecube controller or any other …
Wii Sports
A lot of nice things have been written about the game Wii Sports. Let me be the next to add my compliments.

Guitar Hero 2
Guitar Hero 2, if you haven’t heard of it already, is a wonderfully addictive sequel to the first. I’ll leave the description of how the game works to its manual. Basically, all you need is the game, the guitar controller, and a PS2. There! Look! You’re a rockstar!
I love …
Mirror’s Edge XBOX360
In Mirror’s Edge you play as a ‘runner’ named Faith. The whole story involves government taking too much control and you’re part of the group of people that didn’t conform.
The game plays like a first person shooter, but it’s different than many first person shooters in which it is …
Wario World (Nintendo Gamecube)
Wario World is a video game for the Nintendo Gamecube. I find this video game to be a great deal of fun to play because it incorporates the following three elements into the gameplay: action in the form of fighting, platforming in the form of avoiding falls and jumping …
OMG 26 Mini Games for Nintendo DS
I’ve always loved gaming and immersive fantasy themed games because it’s like a vacation from my normal world. But some like the RPGs are time consuming and I can no longer devote much time to them. I plan to get back into them at some point. In the meantime, …
Civilization 4 Game
Released in the summer of 2005, ‘Civilization 4′ is new version of an age old classic; while much of things are the same as they have always been, there are some differences and improvements that I really like. The new graphical interface looks a lot better than the old …

Cruis’n USA (Nintendo 64)
“Cruis’n USA” for the Nintendo 64 is a racer that was difficult to play through even just once. The reason it was difficult to play through is because the game is just not a whole lot of fun to play. Let me first by saying despite the visuals being …
Grand Theft Auto 4: The Lost and Damned
I am a huge fan of Grand Theft Auto 4, despite a lot of people’s problems with it. The Lost and Damned continues the tradition of well thought out characters, plot devices, and dialogue that the Grand Theft Auto series has become famous for in the industry. Following the …
Fallout: New Vegas PS3 Version
Fallout: New Vegas is an RPG that takes place in the post apocalyptic United States. The Main story line in Fallout: New Vegas is easy to follow and gives plenty of incentive to see the story to the end ( however the game gives a lot of references …
Soul Calibur Legends, Wii Game
Soul Calibur Legends has everything you’d expect from the Soul Calibur series, but it doesn’t have the same controls that we feel in love with. What this game does succeed in is having a dumb downed character selection screen, a boring fighting system, bad AI and about three other …
Runescape
My little brother introduced me to this game a few months back. It is an MMORPG and a very popular at that. At any point there are always 150′000++ people playing. I have to say that this particular genre of game is extremely addictive …
Spiderman: Web of Shadows
Over the many years of Spiderman video games, we’ve been equally thrilled and disappointed. Whether a new title will successfully convert the sensation of speed and agility that is Spiderman’s legacy is always in question until we get to play it.
The most recent years have seen several 3D Spiderman …
Mario Party 6 (Nintendo Gamecube)
Mario Party 6 is a video game for the Nintendo Gamecube, and the third in the series of Mario Party games for the Nintendo Gamecube. Mario Party 6 is the kind of video game that I feel had potential, but didn’t live up to its full potential because it …
Evony
“Evony: Age 1” is an online gaming community like no other. I compared my initial experience to a “sim-city” like environment but soon found that it was much much more. The setting is in midievel times and your city starts out as a small village. You are initially provided …
Mirror’s Edge (Game/PS3)
I have always been a rather large fan of the first person perspective in game. In my opinion, it is the only way to truly grasp the scale of the world around you, and makes creating a more moving scene all that much easier. It is this love for …
FPS Kontrol Freeks by TheGamingFreek
The FPS Kontrol Freeks are essentially Xbox 360 or PS3 controller thumb stick extenders. They are put on your controller to help improve accuracy in first person shooters, especially games like Call of Duty.

EA Sports Cricket 2005
Sometimes I think that i should have been bought any other game from the store instead of this game. I wonder why EA made such a game which can effect their reputation because we all know that EA is making wonderful games for many years!!!. This time the …
Armoured Core 4 for Xbox 360
Armored Core is mech combat game set in the near future. The plot is somewhat clichéd and generic but while not particularly note worthy it does it’s job as vehicle to the action and the voice acting is very competent.
The story is a little lacking and could have …
The Sims Game
Even though EA Games has released “The Sims 2,” the first game is still well worth playing. I personally like the PC version: even without any of the expansion packs, the core game is fun, entertaining, and absorbing.
The game installs, and runs, without any problems on my two-year-old laptop. …
Bomberman Land Touch!
In some ways, this game exceeding my expectations, but in other ways, it proved to be disappointing. This is the first Bomberman game that has an option to play online, and I must say that I am very impressed with the online battle play mode. I can play against …

Stratego Board Game
I tried this game for the first time today. There are several versions of this game, but they’re all basically the same game, it’s just that there are different names to the pieces and pictures for the pieces. The original version had an army theme. The version I played …
