I do not have an extensive history with the Halo series. The first I had played was Halo: Reach. That title impressed both my son and I enough that we went out and grabbed the rest of the Halo titles that had released. He has played more of them than I have, but I finally sat down and decided to...

Another quick review for the middle of the week. What's in a name? In this case, a lot of seemingly random words. Not only did the team try to cram as many syllables as they could into the title of this game, but a bunch of different ideas too. This is a game that flew under my radar when it...

Enchanting. That is really the primary adjective I came away with after spending about eighty hours with Level-5's Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch for the PlayStation 3. This is a game I have been watching for a long time. Something about the art just caught my eye way back when Namco...

Tomb Raider has been around for a decade and a half now, and the series has seen a bunch of high and low points over that time. Still, excitement has been building for this latest title, a reboot of the series, for quite some time now. Last year at E3, I came away more excited for this game than...

I recently posted a review about Bionic Command Rearmed. This was an HD remake (not just a visual glossing over - but with lots of new content) of the Capcom classic Bionic Commando. Apparently this was an arcade title at one time, but my first brush with the series was on my NES. This was one...

Capcom was without a doubt one of my favorite game companies for years. I loved all things Street Fighter II, but even before that I sunk a ton of time into some of their action platforming titles like Mega Man 2 and Bionic Commando. That is not to say that Bionic Commando was perfect. It came...

I really was not planning on playing Assassin's Creed III. I played and mostly enjoyed the first entry on the Xbox 360 several years ago, and my son has played and generally enjoyed later iterations - but I have not gotten around to trying those ones yet. However, a buddy of mine got this game...

Just a quickie for this Wed... Now that the Wii is basically on its last legs as a system (some would probably argue it lost its legs two years ago and has been on the ground dead ever since), I thought it might be interesting to take a quick look back at one of the earliest titles that released...

I had heard of To the Moon, but never really looked into it much. I recalled a couple of friends stating that they thought it was a different, unique game - but given my usual backlog of titles, I never got around to picking it up and trying it. Then, just before the holidays ol' 8-Bit Nick (I'm...

Dead or Alive was one of those fighting franchises that always looked nice, but I never got around to playing early on. My first brush with the series was Dead or Alive 4 on the Xbox 360. I liked both Dead or Alive 4 and Dead or Alive Dimensions - having reviewed both on here. The series is...
