This is a good game, and I've been playing this series (although admittedly with huge gaps of no play throughout) since I was a kid. I gotta say though, besides some minor advances in graphics over the years this series has not seemed to evolve much. I still need to check out...

Nothing too incredible about this remaster, besides of course bringing one of the most beloved entries in the series into the modern age. I played the hell out of this game back when the original version came out along with many of my friends. So, of course it'll be super nice...

This was actually the first game I got for my Xbox 360 and it was originally just to gain entry into the Halo 3 Beta, as I'm sure was the reasoning for many other owners.
Despite this, I still played the game for quite some time and bought all the DLC and all that fun stuff....

When I first started playing this game, I was aware that the learning curve was quite difficult. It didn't deter me though, and I kept persevering....until eventually it did indeed deter me. I set the game down for more than a year.
Then I picked it up again.
After...

I've been a pretty big fan of the DiRT series since Colin McRae: DiRT, so I was pretty excited when this came out. It was important I understood what I was getting into: this is not just a typical DiRT arcade/simulator hybrid, but rather a full fledged rally sim.
I really...

Actually ended up burning through the story missions within about a day and a half of playing this. It's about what I expected; Destiny 1's first two expansions weren't exactly game changers but did add plenty of content. This one is about the same.
Just as I was with the...

This was my introduction to the Battlefield series. I had many friends who were already playing Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 before it, but alas, here I was.
One thing that stood out to me right away was the use of humor in the single player campaign. All of the...

So far I am quite pleased with this game. I played the hell out of the first one, so I knew far in advance that I would be wanting to try this one out. Despite all of the controversy around the in-game credits, I didn't feel I was affected by it in any way shape or...

When this game came out I had never been a fan of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series, but I still needed to give Red Dead a try. I am definitely glad I did!
First of all, the graphics were great to look at. Rockstar usually makes nice graphical leaps in between games and this...

Harmonix brought the Guitar Hero series to life in 2005.
I played this game when I was younger a lot. I enjoyed Guitar Hero 1, 2, and 3 quite a bit and was very excited to see a multi-instrumental game on the horizon, rather than just a guitar-based game. Despite...

Still working on this game (it's quite a long one), but so far I'm very impressed. I will continually update this review as I progress through the game. At the moment, no complaints...
The graphics are amazing, even almost three years later. Still very impressed with how...

I was so thrilled when this game was originally announced. I loved the concept of the first game quite a bit, but I knew the game didn't sell super well so I never really expected a sequel, as much as I would've liked one. Well, this ended up being a pleasant surprise for me....

After pouring many hours of my life into the first Destiny, I was pretty excited for Destiny 2 to come out. I had a lot of expectations for the game...mostly, more content! I was hardly a critic of the first game; I simply wanted more! Most of us can agree that the mechanics of...

I fell in love with this game when it came out. I was slightly nervous about it because it was a little different than most of the stuff around then, but that was also what drew me in. That, and DICE was making some really great games like Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2: Modern...

This "system seller" is what really got me and many others into the original Xbox. I still remember the day my parents brought it home with a new Xbox console. It came out a little too early to be released with Xbox Live functionality, but it didn't matter to me. I...
