Featured Review - Bioshock 2
If you've enjoyed the first BioShock, then you will most likely enjoy its sequel. It doesn't have the same overall twist and freshness as the first title but the plot is enjoyable and actually gives you even more of a moral dilemma since you take the role of a Big Daddy and not Jack exploring rapture with no original purpose and killing indiscriminately. The multiplayer is a welcoming surprise to what many thought would be a tacked on extra - it's most definitely not.

Mass Effect 2 is an almost flawless experience. While almost everything about the game is an improvement over the original title, the emotional story, the unforgettable cast of characters, and the overall presentation are what earns Mass Effect 2 a solid Game of the Year nomination. To be quite honest, I'm not sure if any other game this year will be better than Mass Effect 2. Although that may...

In the end, Divinity 2 just seems to be too rough around the edges to be considered good, heck it even barely makes it to the OK rating I'm giving it. What it does have going for it is an extreme amount of exploration, creative writing and quest trees, and an addictive style of gameplay. The fact that I was able to put up with all of its shortcomings and actually enjoy most of it is a positive in...

Darksiders is by no mean original. The game draws from a lot of other well-known games like Zelda and God of War. However, Darksiders shows respect to each game that it draws from. Even though Darksiders draws from a lot of sources, it maintains one important item, its soul. After finishing the game, which will take around 15 hours, the only thing you will think about is hoping that Darksiders...

At $59.99, Guitar Hero Van Halen just does not provide enough quality music and gameplay features to warrant a purchase unless you are a hardcore Van Halen fan that can enjoy even the less famous singles. With only 47 songs, nothing new as far as gameplay, and the only real appeal being the inclusion of Van Halen songs and onstage partying, just try to find this one on the cheap if you really...

If you enjoy the movie, or enjoy games where you have to collect a lot of things and complete a lot of side missions, then you should definitely give this a rental. It fully envelopes you in the world of Pandora and will give you a good 5-7 hours (times two for each faction) of enjoyment. Gameplay is varied and the storyline is well-paced. The world alone is enough reason to check out this more...

No doubt the goal of this game was to get something dinosaur-related out before Christmas at a lower price to get all those moms and dads who know their boys are crazy about dinosaurs to buy this game. While younger gamers might really get into Jurassic: The Hunted, more serious gamers should only rent this title for the easy achievements or trophies. While plowing through this game, I found...

Rogue Warrior is a game that should remain out of your library and your life. Even if you plan on renting the game, know someone else that is planning on renting it to so that you can get the achievements for online mode, and so you can express your frustration with the game with a fellow player who can console you. It's too buggy, short, and lacking of features to warrant even a bargain bin...

Assassin's Creed II certainly isn't perfect and has several annoyances that need to be fixed, but the game succeeds at involving the player and never letting him go. In fact, the game may already be done, but its sheer excellence warrants another playthrough or two. And I'm still surprised that Assassin's Creed II is such an amazing improvement over the first game. You may downright loathe the...

The final factor for anyone looking to pick up the game would be the amount of replay the game provides. With the game's massive amount of customization to the cars when it comes down to tuning it just right, upgrading the cars drivetrain and look with the improved amount of layers allowed to create the art people can make, it's clear that the game was pretty much knocked out of the park in this...

By now, you probably already guessed (or simply looked at the large number at the top of this review) that I'm giving a 10 to Modern Warfare 2. It's definitely the best Call of Duty to date by a country mile, and everyone who enjoys gaming in general regardless of your genre preferences should get this game. No game is perfect, but Modern Warfare 2 is pretty damn close to achieving that title....

When it comes right down to it, LEGO Rock Band is a sign of better things to come and is a true music experience the whole family can enjoy, not matter the age. Inclusions such as Rock Band Challenges and the ability to hire multiple staff members are features that should stay. Also, after completing a song in a setlist with multiple players, your individual note streak is shown for every song...

Honestly, although I can probably crap on Borderlands for a number of things, it's undeniable that Borderlands is a fun and addictive game that will steal hundreds of hours away from your schedule. It has its flaws, and Gearbox really missed out on plenty of opportunities that could have easily made Borderlands a contender for 2009's Game of the Year. However, I simply cannot deny the fact that...

Dragon Rising is no doubt a flawed game. The multiplayer is a disappointment, and the game comes with its fair share of annoying technical problems. However, when you get through the nonsense and to the core of what Dragon Rising is, you will experience a brilliant game unlike any other. With its freedom of choice, its amazing sense of realism, and its awesome co-op function, Dragon Rising is a...

With a solid campaign and a a multiplayer package that has something for everyone, it’s nearly impossible not to recommend Halo 3: ODST. The game is clearly an effort on Bungie’s part to give the fans more of what they love. But it’s sure to draw in at least some new converts to the Halo flock along the way. LoadingReality strongly recommends this game for hardcore Halo fans, and encourages...

It might seem like I’m disappointed by NHL 10, but that’s really not the case at all. Just because I’m not a fan of many of the tweaks they’ve made doesn’t mean the game doesn’t retain its core value and fun factor. The minor changes made to the dynasty *ahem*, “Be A GM,” mode are critical in my eyes and it’s a full blown simulation with no stone left unturned. Be A Pro has been...

I know, I hear ya. Most of us who were excited for Guitar Hero 3 have burned out a bit on the franchise; this is evident by how many people on my friends list are playing GH5. But this is the reboot we have been waiting for, and those that pick up the game before October 1st do land Guitar Hero: Van Halen for free when it is released. This year's game is full of fresh ideas and an entirely new...

24 hours into my career and I can not wait to get back to racing. Once again we have the most complete rally package we have seen since RSC2. If DiRT 2 had included a few more rally stages and hill climbs I could say without a doubt that this is the best rally game in history. As it stands now it is a sliver behind RSC2, but this game does so many things right. If you are a fan of rally or any...

Unless you hate Batman there’s certainly more reasons to play this game than to not. The production values are very, very high, and despite a handful of imperfections this game turned out very well. Maybe for the first time the Batman license was handled with care and respect by a video game developer. You’ll have to decide for yourself if any of those flaws would hinder your experience, but...

BlazBlue has easily set the milestone for all fighting games. BlazBlue does nearly everything with genius, from its gameplay to its audio. The amount of love and effort that had been poured into this game has made BlazBlue as close to flawless as possible. This is the best fighting game that has ever been developed, and it’s the best game that has graced this generation. Simply put, this game...

0.5/5 - This game has nothing to offer; think about E.T. The Extra Terrestrial game.
1/5 - Stay as far away as possible from this title. This game does not have redeeming qualities. 
1.5/5 - This game is bad and bordering on terrible. There are few, if any, aspects of the game worth experiencing. 
2/5 - This game has a few key things that are well done, but the numerous faults overtake the overall. Possibly worth a rent for franchise fans.
2.5/5 - This game is flatly average. There's nothing very unique about the game, but it shouldn't be ignored and isn't utterly bad.
3/5 - This game is slightly above average. There is nothing incredibly special about it, but the game is worth a look for fans of the genre.
3.5/5 - An above average, teetering on "good" game. This title has some great ideas and ambitions, along with redeeming qualities that outweigh the handfuls of negative aspects, making it worth a play.
4/5 - A very good game - probably worth owning. Most gamers, regardless of genre preference, will be able to look past small issues and enjoy it.
4.5/5 - Fantastic game! In spite of small flaws, this game brings something different to the table and executes incredibly well. Any game receiving this score is a contender for game of the year.
5/5 - This game is as close to perfect as a game can be: an industry-changing masterpiece. Few and far between, any game receiving this score should be owned by everyone. ever.
