Dead Space

Platforms: Xbox360, PS3, PC Release Date: 2008-10-13 Regions: USA Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★★☆ A high-end combination of Resident Evil 4 and Event Horizon that is technically excellent but ultimately unsatisfying. Usually when I finish a game I try to write a review for it as quickly as possible, while the experience is still fresh in […]

Silent Hill 5

Platforms: Xbox360, PS3 Release Date: 2008-09-30 Regions: USA Japan Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★★☆ A game that can’t make up its mind which of the previous Silent Hill games it would like to emulate more, and suffers as a result. Silent Hill Homecoming is the latest in a series of not-very-Silent-Hill-like Silent Hill games. I guess […]

Condemned 2: Bloodshot

Platforms: Xbox360, PS3 Release Date: 2008-03-11 Regions: USA Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★★☆ A sequel that hits all the right notes but can’t quite follow the tune. Condemned 2 is sort of a hard game to write a review for. On the one hand, it’s clearly been designed to address the shortcomings of the original Condemned […]

Alone in the Dark 5

Platforms: Xbox360, PS3, Wii Release Date: 2008-06-23 Regions: USA Japan Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★☆☆ Mixing procedural mechanics with traditional linear game play proves mediocre. Alone in the Dark 5 is an interesting game because it tries so hard to be so many different things at once. It’s got elements of all sorts of other games, […]

Resident Evil 5

Also known as: Biohazard 5 Platforms: PS3, Xbox360 Release Date: 2009-03-13 Regions: USA Japan Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★★☆ Lack of scares can’t keep this action-oriented game from being loads of fun. Resident Evil 5 is a great game. The art is beautiful, the control is dead-on, the challenges are well designed and the difficulty curve […]

Condemned

Platforms: Xbox360, PC Release Date: 2005-11-16 Regions: USA Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★★★ Condemned is in many ways a classic horror game dressed up as a first person next-gen launch title. A gem! Condemned was one of the first titles released for Microsoft’s Xbox360 platform. As a launch title, I expected that it would be pretty […]
