Grand Theft Auto V (PS4) Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

Rockstar wowed the majority of us a year ago when they released Grand Theft Auto V on PS3 and Xbox 360. Even on old hardware, it was an excellent looking game that still looks better than some games released on the new systems. Now that Rockstar has released the game for PS4 and Xbox One, it looks even better. For starters, there's increased detail for everything. Textures are better, overall image quality is greatly improved thanks to anti-aliasing. There's greater draw distance, and even…

Grand Theft Auto V Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

This has proven a hard review to even begin. Not because I don’t have anything to say about Grand Theft Auto V, as a matter of fact I could say plenty about the game, but rather because I haven’t wanted to stop playing it. We’ve seen some truly amazing games this year: BioShock Infinite and The Last of Us standing out for most folks (myself included), and I’d personally add Saints Row and LEGO City: Undercover to the list as well while others would include Tomb Raider, Splinter Cell, and Rayman…

Max Payne 3 Review

Gary Smith8 Comments

It's been over a decade since the first Max Payne game hit the market, and if you played it way back then odds are you still remember it.

The game received a sequel about two years later in 2003, but Max Payne fans have been left waiting for more Max ever since. Six…

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Review

Gary Smith5 Comments

Undead Nightmare really is something special. Priced at $10, or 800 Microsoft Points, on PSN and Xbox LIVE, it's the kind of DLC that even the most anti-DLC person can get behind. It features additional multiplayer modes, but even more importantly a stand-alone single player campaign that will last you roughly six to eight hours depending on your play style. It's so well done and so well polished, that Rockstar released it as a retail game packed with the other DLC content for Red Dead…

L.A. Noire Review

This review may contain spoilers. This is going to be a hard review to write, especially with trying not to include spoilers (the warning is there for a reason though). If you read my quick thoughts on the game after spending a few hours with it Tuesday, then you know what I initially thought of the game. I loved it; it was fresh and different, and the world was beautiful. Now that I've finished the main story, I'm not exactly feeling the same way. Exploring 1947 Los Angeles is still an absolute…

Red Dead Redemption Review

Red Dead Redemption is the best open-world game ever made. Here's why it's still a five out of five exalted masterpiece more than a decade later.
