RAGE iPhone Review

This game could’ve been a very good entry in the on rails shooter sub-genre and might have warranted the highest praise available on GameBlurb. With so much missing, be it game length, a leaderboard, or other standard extras, this title doesn’t just miss the mark it misses the house where the board holding said mark is located. Read on to see more.

Street Fighter IV iPhone Review

With all of the new content that’s been added to this title since its release, Street Fighter IV is no longer the same game, be it the subtle (I can play a black dressed Chun-Li) to the more overt (Street Fighter II title screen and music). Beyond just the characters, find out why this is still the premier fighter on your choice i-device.

Mirror’s Edge iPhone Review

On a whole Mirror’s Edge does what it sets out to do and offers its fair share of fun moments though problems do keep this game from realizing its true potential. As a note to those who don’t like platforming games let me save you some time and just tell you not to buy Mirror’s Edge. That is all there is to this title and you won’t enjoy it if you are such a person. For everyone else, read on.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed iPhone Review

Brilliant graphics that are even better than what Project Sword proposes to deliver. Gameplay that’s both as novel as in :Shift: and as fun and easy to pick up and play as in Street Fighter IV. A sweeping soundtrack that rivals the very best from John Williams. A story that would make J.R.R. Tolkien say “Wow”. These few sentences describe the exact opposite of what this game is…

UFC 2010 for the PSP is the latest game from the UFC series and coming out after its bigger brothers have already set their mark on the console game scene.

Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 Impression Review

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 was off my radar up until last week, but when I heard it was being released soon I did some light research. What little I read got me excited. It was to be a throwback to the old games with HD graphics. As a fan of the Sonic franchise, I saw this as a chance to win back some followers. It’s my opinion that the home consoles haven’t seen a Sonic game worth mentioning since Sonic Adventure 2 on the Dreamcast.

Hot Shots Tennis: Get A Grip Review

Hot Shots Tennis: Get A Grip is a relatively new sports game out on the PSP. The first iteration of the game was released on the PlayStation 2 a few years back. Can the inclusion of a plethora of unlockables and the newer level-up system help the game score an Roddick style ace? Or will it be as disappointing as Roddick’s recent career?
