Ear Force X41 Review [Review]

19 Nov 2009 08:00:00 PST

Written by Mark Wilson
As a wireless, surround sound headset for the Xbox 360, the X41 is at the top of its class (at least partially because it's still the only product in its class). If you're willing to go wired, you can save about $100+ on a cheaper version of the Ear Force, or you can take a look at the even more expe...

Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel for Xbox 360 review

18 Nov 2009 21:02:00 PST

Written by Tim Stevens
To celebrate the release of Forza Motorsport 2, Microsoft made a big deal about its Wireless Racing Wheel, a cable-free force-feedback controller for racers that was only really wireless if you didn't want force-feedback. It was a reasonable compromise and a reasonably good wheel, but...

Opinion: Modern Warfare 2: PC Versus 360

18 Nov 2009 14:30:00 PST

Written by Mike Fahey
This having been said, the PC version loses a point to the Xbox 360 as far as local multiplayer options go, with the ability to network multiple 360 consoles together via System Link. There are no LAN options for Modern Warfare 2, and of course no split-screen multiplayer either, so the cons...

'Assassin's Creed 2' Review - Once More For Good Measure

17 Nov 2009 09:00:46 PST

Written by Adam Rosenberg
When Ubisoft dropped "Assassin's Creed" in late 2007, people were confused. On the one hand, here was this stunningly gorgeous open world with nooks and crannies galore, a cast of thousands and simple controls that made both exploration and combat a joy to experience. On the other hand, yo...

Review: My Life As A Dark Lord

16 Nov 2009 14:53:34 PST

Written by Bradamantium
The story is the biggest incentive to buying the game but it might only be for fans of both the Crystal Chronicles universe and cutesy girly humor. I honestly found myself laughing at it more frequently than I laughed during Bowser's Inside Story. It's definitely cute and funny but it requir...

New Super Mario Bros. Wii review: impressive, and then some

15 Nov 2009 19:07:02 PST

Ars Technica New Super Mario Bros. Wii feels like a return to form for Nintendo, and the game certainly plays it safe with familiar graphics and gameplay. Buried inside the game is a deep, rich experience in both single- and multiplayer, however, and the amount of things to see and do is disar...

PES 2010 PSP Review

12 Nov 2009 19:20:28 PST

Written by Kitana Media
The thought of PES ‘on the move’ sounded an awesome prospect when the PSP was first being unveiled in 2004. Anytime/anywhere Master League? Yes please we giddily replied. However, when PES on PSP finally hit in the guise of PES5 the anticipation turned out to be better than the moment. This wa...

Written by Kevin Kelly
Even if your willpower or geography has kept you from picking up Modern Warfare 2, you're probably reading this as you drive to go do just that. Activision's marketing people like to call this one the most anticipated game of the decade, and there's no doubt it will sell oodles of copies from...

DJ Hero Review: You Spin Me Right Round

Written by Mike Fahey
I've been growing increasingly disillusioned with rhythm games over the past year. It seems like the two major players - Rock Band and Guitar Hero - are doing the exact same thing, only with different music, and let's be completely honest here - the music isn't all that different. New titles...

Review: Guitar Hero 5 (Xbox360)

27 Oct 2009 07:40:47 PDT

Claiming that this is the 5th Guitar Hero game is as preposterous as claiming Windows 7 is the 7th edition of Windows. We have multiple sequels to different versions, with single band spin-offs and portable versions. We are also soon to get Band Hero, DJ Hero and who knows: maybe MC Hero and Tr...

Review - The Beatles: Rock Band

I have now played TB:RB with quite a few people who have never had an interest in video games or Rock Band up until now.
