Madden NFL 10 Review (PS3)
Less over the top, more realistic, and slightly evil, Madden 10 is a double sided coin. It's a mature, much welcomed version of the game, but folks are scratching their head over why they are paying extra for things already on the disc.
Logitech Harmony 700 Universal Remote PlayStation 3 (PS3) Review
The Logitech Harmony 700 Universal Remote is an impressive addition to any home theater system, but how well does it work with the PS3? This review takes an in-depth look at how well the Logitech Harmony 700 Universal Remote plays with the PlayStation 3.
Fight Night Round 4 Review (PS3)
Boxing returns in a big way with incredible graphics and gameplay. The sport is well represented, but the game is not without its flaws.
Resident Evil 5: Collector's Edition Review (PS3)
Resident Evil 5 is an amazing game that continues all that is great about the series and pushes it forward. It's not without it's faults, but Resident Evil 5 is still one of the finest games on the PS3.
Resistance 2 Review (PS3)
Resistance 2 is a superb shooter which features amazing, lag-free, 60 (sixty!) player online matches and an 8 player co-op campaign. This game shines in more than its online offerings, and is an excellent shooter in every respect.
Little Big Planet Review (PS3)
Gaming 3.0 has finally come to life. Little Big Planet is not only a peek at the future of gaming, but a darn fun title and, perhaps, the single hottest PS3 game this holiday season. Little Big Planet is truly a must-play PlayStation title.
Buzz! Quiz TV (PS3) Review
Buzz! Quiz TV is the latest (and greatest) offering in the "popular in Europe, just made it to America" trivia franchise. Unlike many games out there today, Buzz! is not only great, but generous. When you've had your fun with the 5,000 plus questions just hop online and download more made by other Buzz! players. While not perfect, Buzz! is literally a party in a box.
Video Games Live CD Review, Volume One
Having gone to the Video Games Live concert in Salt Lake City, I had mixed feelings about reviewing the CD. The concert was full of interesting music, but was disorganized thematically and was less about the music than it was about Tommy Tallarico pandering to a teenaged crowd. There was no denying the potential of the show, but it just missed the mark. Luckily the Video Games Live CD fared slightly better.
Madden NFL 09 20th Anniversary Review (PS3)
I really do love Madden, but this game fumbles too many times for me to fawn over it, despite the warm fuzzies a "20th anniversary" game should bring. Madden NFL 09 is like your favorite injured player, you know they'd be great if only they could...
Metal Gear Solid 4 (MGS4): Guns of the Patriots Review (PS3)
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is simply a stunning videogame. Clever, beautiful, and fun beyond compare, MGS4 is one of the best games of the year, if not the best.
Battlefield: Bad Company Review (PS3)
Who decided shooters should be fun, again? From the sandbox gameplay and witty banter of the single player campaign to the all out madness of its multiplayer side, Battlefield: Bad Company is an honest to goodness fun shooter that shows excellence without taking itself too seriously.
Army of Two Review (PS3)
Please don't call this the "PS3 Gears of War Game." Army of Two is a solid start on a brand new property for EA. It's got some issues, but it's also a very good time, and a very different experience from Gears of War.
Half-Life 2: The Orange Box Review (PS3)
Hands down, this is one of the greatest videogame values of all time. You get Half-Life 2, HL2 Episode 1, HL2 Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2 all for the price of one. Any of these games could have been a stand-alone title (albeit perhaps a download) and many were, but value aside, how does this PC classic franchise fare on the PS3? Well, that's what this review is here to answer.
Rock Band PlayStation 3 (PS3) Review
Rock Band, the greatest game to ever be held back by iffy hardware and bad politics. As a game, Rock Band is the zenith of rock games, but the hardware seems to constantly be breaking down and unlike the Xbox 360 version, you can't use your Guitar Hero guitar as a bass. Great game, but too many issues for a $170 title.
Guitar Hero III: (3) Legends of Rock Review (PS3)
Guitar Hero III (3) not only has a new developer in Neversoft, but all sorts of new gameplay modes, including boss battles and battle modes bring a much needed twist to the falling pucks game. Despite some graphics issues GH3 is a blast to play with a great song list to boot. Only time will tell how well Guitar Hero III (3) stands up against Rock Band. This is one PS3 game you don't want to miss.
Logitech PlayGear Mod Review - PSP Headphones
As the iPod's white earbuds have proven, these days headphones are as much about style as sound, fortunately the PlayGear Mod PSP earphones deliver both.
Audio Xtreme 360 (AX360) Surround Sound Gaming Headset
The Audio Xtreme 360 (AX360) Surround Sound Gaming Headset is the ultimate Dolby Digital 5.1 solution for those who can't have, or afford a surround sound system. It also provides a much needed boom mix 5.1 surround sound headset for online gaming.
LoSt-CaUzE Noise Canceling Gaming Headphones by AblePlanet Review
The LoSt-CaUzE noise canceling gaming headphones sound superb. Surprisingly deep bass and excellent noise cancellation make this a hard set of ear cans to beat. Now if they only has a mic...
Logitech Cordless Mediaboard Review (PS3 Wireless Keyboard)
Was it evil for Sony to lock the PS3's Bluetooth system, effectively not allowing 3rd party accessories access? Sure. But that's not stopping companies like Logitech from creating accessories like its wireless keyboard the Cordless Mediaboard.
Logitech Cordless Precision Review (PS3 Controller)
Based on the excellent Sony PlayStation 2 Cordless Action Controller, Logitech's Cordless Precision for the PS3 uses the same body, but with PS3 twists. Customers interested in the Logitech Cordless Precision will have to decide if the $10 savings over the PS3's Sixaxis is worth the missing features.
Gamebox 1.0 Review (DVD)
Convergence seems to be the name of the game in Hollywood. Movies based on games, and games based on movies, have proven themselves to be big moneymakers. Gamebox 1.0 continues the trend, but rather than licensing one specific game, the movie creates its own universe similar to movies like eXistenZ.
Madden NFL 08 Review (PS3)
Madden NFL 08 on the PS3 is actually different this year, and different, this time, means better.
The Bigs Review (PS3)
Yes, The Bigs is more arcadey than the true baseball sims out there, but not by much. With defense being so broken in the baseball sims, and steroid accusations in the MLB, The Bigs may not be all that far off.
Medal of Honor Vanguard Review (PS2)
Medal of Honor Vanguard is the latest WWII shooter brought to us by EA. In it, you fight members of the Axis of Evil (the old school one that is), blow up tanks, so on and so forth. Sound familiar? Well, it should, as Vanguard does so little to change a diluted genre, sticking to tried a true mechanics that are starting to come off as lazy and boring.
The Darkness Review (PS3)
The Darkness is one of the most cinematic FPS games I think I've ever seen. Yes, the graphics and art direction are superb, but the storytelling in The Darkness is second to none. The Darkness is truly a next-gen game, both in terms of tech and design.
