Supreme Commander Review (Xbox 360)
If you’re a PC gamer, you’re probably already well aware of Supreme Commander. It was a long-anticipated real-time strategy from the fertile mind of Chris Taylor, who called it the “spiritual successor” to his Total Annihilation (released in 1997 by the now-defunct publisher, GT Interactive).
The gaming press seemed to take to Supreme Commander when it [...]
Hellboy: The Science of Evil Review (Xbox 360)
At first glance, Mike Mignola’s popular creation Hellboy seems perfectly suited for a video game. All of the elements are there for sure. You’ve got hero with a demonic heritage using his special abilities to defend the innocent from supernatural forces of evil. You’ve got a support cast that includes a pyrokinetic hottie (pun intended) [...]
Top Spin 3 Review (Xbox 360)
There is a gradient of developmental complexity when it comes to sports video games.
Take a big team sport such as American football or world football (soccer) for example. The developer needs to coordinate eleven players per side– each with their own A.I. rules. Sports of the motor variety are equally complex, as multiple cars must [...]
Alone in the Dark Review (Xbox 360)
Not to be overly reductive, but every video game can be reduced to two basic elements: presentation and gameplay. Presentation includes everything from graphics and sound down to the interface and save system. Gameplay is just that – the way the game plays. Reducing Alone in the Dark down to these two elements makes it [...]

Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath Review (Xbox 360)
Many own computers, but few play video games on them. This is especially true with console owners, as an odd church-and-state-like separation seems to keep the games on the game machine and, well, the viruses on the virus machine.
If your Gamertag is Console4Life, then there is a good chance that you have little clue about [...]

Battlefield: Bad Company Review (Xbox 360)
It’s not like Battlefield: Bad Company is everything to everyone. It’s not the best first person shooter you’ll ever play; there’s basically only one mode to multiplayer, its got some really corny writing, the color palette is sort of bland, etc., etc. But I’ll be damned if it isn’t one of the best games I’ve [...]
