Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (360) by Tan (25-Oct-12)
This is a hard game to review because I both love it and find some parts of it really crappy at the same time. On the one hand, you have a sprawling open world that’s ripe with history and a life of its own. On the other, you feel like a disjointed character, never taken [...]
Review: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (360) by Tan (11-Oct-12)
The worst thing that could happen while playing an RPG happened to me. I stopped caring about the story. Worse still, it happened so early on that it tainted the fifty hours or so of gameplay after it happened. I don’t think I can really blame R.A. Salvatore for that.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning – Demo by Tan (26-Jan-12)
With all of the media surrounding this game, you’d think I’d have a better idea of what it’s all about. Truth is, screenshots and videos just don’t do this title justice. Here’s a few points I wanted to jot down for future consideration: While the videos seem to indicate a cartoonish look, I find it’s [...]
Review: LEGO Star Wars III: Clone Wars (360) by Tan (04-Jan-12)
When I had first seen gameplay videos of III, I had mixed feelings. By this time, I had already been disappointed with LEGO Batman and the LEGO Indiana Jones series so my expectations were a bit low. Perhaps the very nature of the material lends itself to a better game or a better design philosophy. [...]
MG’s Take: Fable III (360) by Marriott_Guy (21-Apr-11)
Having been a fan of the first two installments in the series, I was thoroughly pumped to dive right into this latest release. In Fable III, your Hero is once again pitted against the throes of evil, but this time you are tasked with both saving your beloved kingdom of Albion as well as becoming [...]
MG’s Take: Sacred 2: Fallen Angel (360) by Marriott_Guy (04-Jul-09)
Work has been a bit brutal as of late, so I scheduled a three day weekend for myself to recharge the internal battery a bit. What better way to do this? Pick up a new game, score some beverages and a big handful of those monster-sized Slim Jims and dig in for some gaming. Being [...]
MG’s Take: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 (360) by Marriott_Guy (29-Aug-08)
Tiger Woods 2008, released on multiple platforms in September, 2007 by EA Sports, has endured a beating normally reserved for farm animals on most forums. Most of the complaints revolve around game freezes, instable EA (Electronic Arts) online servers, lack of character clothing options and most importantly the hair-trigger analog controls. To the delight of [...]
MG’s Take: Shivering Isles (360) by Marriott_Guy (29-Aug-08)
Being a hardcore RPG gamer and a huge fan of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, I have to admit I was a bit reluctant to make this purchase after being disappointed in the previous downloadable content offered by Bethesda. Sure, The Knights of the Nine did satiate my Oblivion appetite for a little while, but [...]
