Just plain fun  
Simply Amazing

The first thing that happens when you pop in motorstorm is an opening cutscene. Now I remember the scene from the original so I hunker down and wait for my breath to be taken away. I was not dissapointed. The amazing visuals literally melted my eyeballs. So after the initial oooing and ahhhing (I'm a sucker for water graphics) my buddy and I got ready for some split screen action. The first thing I noticed was the astounding number of tracks right from the get go. There are over a dozen tracks and neat thing is that each track, depending on what vehicle you drive, actually becomes 3 - 4 different tracks because there are more byways and shortcuts then you can imagine. Each track has its own unique flavor and it never seems repetive. The thing that most impressed me was the feel of the game. The entire time you are playing you have the feeling of flying by the seat of your pants. The audio tracks are enough to keep me entertained but don't really get you "pumped" like burnout paradise. All in all I have to say this is an amazing game and is a must play for any racing fan.

Soul Calibur III - PS2

Nicely done

I have to say that sould calibur three really ets it done. There is enough single player action to keep me going for sometime. The multiplayer is what brings out the best in a game. The only place it loses points is lack of an online multiplayer. The thing that realy shines is the create a character. You can really customise your character to the max and have stunning battles without using any dev created character.

MotorStorm - PS3

Best graphics to date

Goldeneye for n64 was the best game graphics wise for a number of years. This is rare for a launch title. I just hope that isnt the same with motorstorm. Motorstorm has the most rediculous graphics I have ever seen, and is really the only game I have bought for ps3 where the graphics are as good as I have expected. The only real fault I have with this game is a lack of local multiplayer. Other than that the game is fun and grity and really gives a good sense of speed and roughneck racing.

Skate - PS3

NEw age of skateboarding

I feel that skate brings a new level of control and feel to the skateboarding game. Instead of little lines that show your balance you can just look at the board and see where you are. Another improvement over tony hawk is the grinding system. Which ever way your board hits the grind is the grind you do. All in all this game feels more intuitive and feels better than tony hawk.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin - DS

Just because I can't use the whip doesnt mean I don't rock

I love this new castlevania. The best part about it is the feel of the game. When I am running through the level with a big stick whacking bad guys i get all warm and fuzzy inside. I think the best part of the game is the way they integrated the use of playiong two characters at once. It is painless to switch back and forth between characters or use both. The graphics aren't the greatest but at the same time they are better than i could expect and adds to the whole nes feel. Everything about the game is as good as you can expect except maybe the amount of time it takes to actually reload the game when you die. Even at that the game over screen has that element of finality that all games had back then. There were no save points so it keeps with the whole spirit of old time gameplay. A+
