Mass Effect

I'm a huge fan of the orginal KOTOR and this game takes it to the next level. Mass Effect is basically virtual heroine. I even found myself waking up at 8 o'clock in the morning to get some hours in before work. Now this game isn't set up exactly like the KOTOR series. Its like a 3rd person shooter with RPG commands and elements (very cool combination). The only thing that is holding it back from true greatness is the tutorials or the "lack of understanding" feeling. You constantly find yourself searching the manual and gameguides to understand exactly how things work. I still don't understand everything about the game but that little annoyance is crushed by the sure awesomeness that is Mass Effect. If you own a 360 (or a PC), BUY THIS GAME!

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Xbox 360

Pros Cons
Intense action Poor storytelling
Just plain fun Doesn't live up to expectations
  Repetitive gameplay
  Unresponsive controls
  Lousy camera/viewpoint
A little disappointing

I was disappointed in The Force Unleashed. There are plenty of bugs and glitches in the game. I had to restart my PS3 one time because the jedi I was facing simply disappeared. Her health bar was still active but she was gone. The camera can get stuck some times, which causes me to restart my PS3 also.

If you've played the demo, then you know exactly what to expect. Nonetheless, the game is still fun to play, just not exactly what it was hyped up to be.

F-Zero GX - GameCube

F-Zero GX is spectacular

If you are prone to seizures, stay away from F-Zero GX. If not, then you're in luck because this game rocks!!! If you enjoyed F-Zero X for the N64, then you'll love this GC installment. The level designs are very creative and insane. The controls are very similar to the N64 predecessor; making the game easy to pick-up and play. The graphics are jaw dropping and caused me to black out every once in awhile. This title is very fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat. A must buy for the Nintendo GC and Wii

Mario Kart Wii - Wii

Mario Kart Wii

As expected, Mario Kart Wii is loads of fun. The online multiplayer was long overdue.

I'll start with the cons. The graphics in MKW are very disappointing. Look at games like Galaxy and SSBB, and then check out the MKW character selection screen; Mario hasn't had a square nose since the SNES days. Some of the powerups seem way to powerful and unnecessary.

Now the pros...ITS FREAKIN' MARIO KART, DUDE!!! Its endless fun. One of my favorite features is the retro stage collection from the SNES, N64, GC, GBA and DS. Another favorite would be the online multiplayer; very simple, fast and lag free. The Wii stages are a lot of fun and very creative (except the new Luigi's Circuit).

In conclusion, buy this game...ITS MARIO KART!!!

Call of Duty 3 - Wii

This game sucks.

Horrible, terrible, no good, very bad game. Don't even rent. The controls hurt the game more than anything (besides it being the worst out of the series). If you want a good FPS, I recommend Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, which is an awesome game
