Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies (Nintendo DS)
With each new addition to the Dragon Quest catalogue, nothing really noticeable seems to change. The battle sequences are the same, as are the game mechanics. Undoubtably a successful combination, especially in Japan, where I was able to witness first hand the pandemonium of this title’s release.
However, for die-hard …

Xbox 360 250GB (Slim)

Resident Evil 5
Resident Evil is one of the most groundbreaking video game series to date, but its latest release, Resident Evil 5 doesn’t quite live up to those claims. The game, while intensely fun and engaging, is a familiar plot loaded with familiar faces.
