Enslaved – Odyssey To The West Review

Gary Smith5 Comments

Enslaved is a rarity in this day and age. It's a new IP, it completely leaves out any form of multiplayer, and it's strictly a linear experience. This all results in one of the best single player games out there thanks to a masterfully crafted story, beautiful cinematics and atmosphere, some really exciting sequences of gameplay, and some well developed combat. You play as Monkey, and you have a sidekick whose abilities you can control named Trip. In the beginning, it seems like it is going to…

Mass Effect Review

Gary Smith3 Comments

What can I say about Mass Effect?  For those that haven’t played it before, it is one of the best gaming experiences you can have.  For those that have played it, it’s still one of the best gaming experiences you can have. Our journey begins as Commander Shephard, or your own custom made character if you choose to go that route, and the crew of the Normandy being sent to Eden Prime to assist in securing and recovering an artifact of an ancient, extinct alien race, the Protheans.  As you can…

Portal 2 Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

Reviewer's Note: I am reviewing the Playstation 3 version of the game, which I got after the attack on the Playstation Network. As such, I have been unable to link the game to my Steam account or connect to PSN to play the online co-op. Therefore, this review does not factor any of the Steam features or the online play. This review is purely based on the single player campaign.  Once PSN service is restored and I spend enough time testing the online features, I may revise and update the review…

InFamous Review

Gary Smith11 Comments

I'm not a comic book fan and don't particularly care for superhero stuff at all. Despite hearing great things about InFamous, it never really appealed to me as something I'd want to buy. When I finally got a Playstation 3, it came bundled with two games: Killzone 2 and InFamous. In addition to those two games, I also got plenty of other PS3 games at the same time. I played InFamous very little; I tried it out and was routinely getting killed without even seeing where the enemies were at. It was…

The Saboteur Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

The Saboteur is a World War 2 game, yet one that isn't boring and worn out. Instead of being a first person shooter reliving the same battles again and again, Saboteur is a third person shooter taking place in Nazi occupied Paris, France. Instead of being a member of one of the Allied military's, you play as a mechanic turned race car driver named Sean Devlin, who joins the resistance against the Nazi's for reasons motivated by revenge. During the course of exacting your revenge against the evil…

Mafia II Review

Gary Smith3 Comments

Mafia II has a great story and impressive attention to detail, but a hollow open world, weak melee, and PS3 freezing issues keep it from being more. Three out of five.

3:10 to Yuma Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

Daniel Evans (Bale) is a poor rancher trying to make it out West with his wife and two sons, and having a hard time making it work. Evans is figuratively and almost literally a one legged man in an ass-kicking contest (he lost one of his feet in the Civil War). His youngest boy has tuberculosis, and in order to pay for medicine, he had to take loans that he can’t make enough money to repay, as it’s not easy to raise good cattle with a drought. About to lose his small ranch and become homeless…

Just Cause 2 has a terrible story and a lifeless world, but none of that matters when blowing stuff up is this much fun. Here's our PS3 review.

The Green Mile Review (1999)

Gary Smith2 Comments

Frank Darabont's The Green Mile is one of the finest films of the 1990s. Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan deliver performances that follow you home and sit down at the kitchen table.

WWE All Stars Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

THQ's arcade-style WWE All Stars is the best wrestling game since WWF No Mercy, with a loaded roster, tight controls, and online play that actually works.
