Call of Duty 3
Call of Duty 3 is obviously the third in the series, yet it is the first to appear as a PlayStation 3 Game. It is set during the second World War, following what is known as the “Normandy Breakout”. Personally, I found the campaign fairly short, yet still quite …
Shadowalker Mobile Game
Shadowalker is a game that, in despite of a few minor flaws, emanates the aura of the 16-bit golden era of the SEGA Genesis and the SNES. The platformer gameplay is highly reminiscent of the classic Castlevania series, as are the vampiric theme and overall horror movie atmosphere. Unfortunately, …
Need For Speed Most Wanted (Xbox 360)
I have been playing video games for as long as I can remember, and I have never enjoyed a racing game. That is, until Need for Speed Most Wanted fell into my hands. A friend of mine brought it over one night so I could see “how cool” the …
Final Fantasy XIII
This was a case of re-inventing the wheel that went pretty bad. I’ve played every game in the Final Fantasy series and if not for the title I’d have never known this was one of them. The plot of games in the series don’t connect, so the …

Phoenix Wright: Justice for All for Nintendo DS and Wii-Ware
Phoenix Wright: Justice for All is a direct sequel to the original Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. If you haven’t played the original Phoenix Wright game, it’s highly recommend that you do before playing the second games as they are both very much so connected to each other. Now to …
Alice: Madness Returns (American McGee PC game)
I’m the kind of person who loves to play video games, but sadly doesn’t have an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. I stick with an oldschool PC for my games. When I saw that Alice: Madness returns was coming out, I was so excited. About a decade ago, the …

Luxor mobile phone game
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Zuma or Luxor? It doesn’t matter, actually. A lot of clones are emerging; a lot of piracy and copying is happening all around but it really doesn’t matter anymore. Not to the customers anyway. As long as one product or thing …

You play it like regular …
World of Warcraft
You may think World of Warcraft is a game for no-life losers (I have seen this stated in many places on many websites), but you might want to give it a try nevertheless. Let me tell you a few things about it:
The game is a massive-multiplayer-online game — meaning …
XBox One Console
The XBox 360 had been my core entertainment piece for several years since it first launched. I enjoyed gaming and using apps such as Netflix and Youtube on that platform. After all those years, I could hardly contain myself when Microsoft announced the new XBox One. It was time …
Super Smash Bros Brawl

The Sims 2
Ever wondered what it would be like if The Sims became more 3D? As in, zoom in to the slightest detail, and rotate 360 degrees? Well, you just got your wish. The Sims 2 is just around the corner, and trust me, it’s way better than The Sims 1. …
Safari Bucket Playset (with mountain and huge play mat)

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
Uncharted: Drakes fortune is without a doubt one of the best games ever. If you own a PS3 then you MUST own this game. It didn’t win all those awards for nothing.
First up, what is Uncharted? Well if your reading this you probably already know its …
Chenille Kraft WonderFoam 68 Piece Blocks Set

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance
Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance is ostensibly a continuation of the Baldur’s Gate series for the playstation, though I honestly think it doesn’t have much to do with that classic game. Never the less it’s a great game in its own right. Where the original two Baldur’s Gate games were …

Tekken 6 Arcade
Tekken 6 is the best fighting game yet, not because I’m a fan of the Tekken series, but because it’s actually, the best. I’ve played many fighting games before, DoA, Mortal Combat, Street Fighters, Virtual Fighters etc, but none of them last long, except for Tekken.
Gameplay: Tekken 6 …
Farkle application on Facebook

Football Manager 2005
As the release date of the 2006 version is getting close I thought it was about time to summarize the impact of the first Football Manager game, very similar to Championship Manager for obvious reasons since the same company stands behind.
For those of you who don’t know what I …
Spiderman 3 : Nintendo Wii
Since I liked the Spiderman 2 game for the Playstation 2 I decided to get this Spiderman 3 for the Nintendo Wii because of this but I was very dissapointed in what I got. The controls are a bit complicated and they require you to use both the nunchuck …

Playstation 3 online
Now, I have already talked about Xbox Live’s services, and it would only be fair to review Playstation 3’s online services also, so here it is.
