Review: Dead Space 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
The original Dead Space is one of my favorite games to be released this generation, for good reason. It was a unique IP with an the interesting concept. Strategic dismemberment. The best way to kill Dead Space’s grisly, blades-for-arms space monsters was to shoot their limbs off.
It was gory, violent, and a hell of a lot of fun. Coupled the dark, foreboding corridors of the Ishimura and deadly, upgradable arsenal of industrial tools, everything came together perfectly to form a spine-chilling, adrenaline-fueled ride like no other.
Dead Space 2 sets out to build on all of this and manages to improve just about everything in the process. On top of that adds online multiplayer.
Review: God of War III (PS3)
I finished God of War III a couple of days ago and I have been trying to come to grips with the game. In many ways, it is the best in the series and in others it is the tiniest bit of a letdown.
If you were expecting a revolution in terms of gameplay you’ll be disappointed. You still don’t have control of the camera, you’ll still be doing quick time events, and you’ll still be abusing the Square, Square, Triangle combo.
Even with all that God of War III stands tall as an amazing game and a climactic conclusion to Kratos’ tale of revenge.
Review: Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future (Dreamcast)
There are few games as unique and downright strange as the original “Ecco the Dolphin”. It was really hard, it had a very eerie atmosphere and most of all, it had an insanely weird story. “Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future”, the fourth and final title in the Ecco series, manages to retain all of the difficulty and eeriness of the original series and makes a perfect transition from 2d to 3d.
