I think it’s time Ubisoft stopped making movie-based video games. Does that mean I’m about to call the Tintin movie-based game awful and not worth touching with a 10-foot pole? No, actually. It has its graphical issues in the cutscenes and an aggravating lack of camera control in the free-roaming 3D sections (specifically, none), however [...]

Michel Ancel and team have done it again, by going in reverse (sort of). Rayman Origins is an absolute blast from the past as far as the platforming elements are concerned, but there is so much more happening in this game, with its hand-drawn characters, and environments, its wonderfully oddball musical score, and its surprisingly [...]

I wish the Wii was able to output better graphics. I feel that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword would’ve gained a few extra points had it had sharper textures, and richer environments. However, that is not a flaw with the game itself. In fact, there is only one fault I found; there’s a considerable [...]

I’ve played a handful of Kirby games in my day, and I think it’s safe to say that Kirby is not synonymous with difficult. In fact, it’s actually closely related to easy. But easy doesn’t mean bad. Sure Kirby’s Return to Dream Land doesn’t offer a challenging experience, but it’s not meant to be. It’s [...]

I really didn’t like Tron: Legacy. I found it to be a shallow, uninspired bore and a half. However, if there was one thing I thought about aside from the fact that I didn’t like it, was, how much better would this movie be in video game form? Well, after playing Tron: Evolution for a [...]

Metroid: Other M follows Samus Aran in her first completely character-driven title, as she investigates a mysterious distress call from a seemingly empty bottle ship in the middle of nowhere. It’s the first title in the franchise in which Samus speaks, and features Ninja Gaiden-style gameplay, mixing 2D/3D side-scrolling, third-person shooters and first-person shooters. That [...]

NBA 2K11 would’ve been more appropriately titled Michael Jordan: The Game. This is not a bad thing. As a basketball game, it continues the series’ tradition as the most accurate sports simulation on the market. But the game really shines when it puts you in the shoes of the greatest to ever play (pre-LeBron, at [...]

When a group of strange musical creatures appear from an erupting volcano on Donkey Kong Island and hypnotize the island’s creatures to make them steal Donkey Kong’s banana stash, the tie-wearing primate and sidekick, Diddy Kong, spring into action. Donkey Kong Country Returns takes players all over the Island to recover DK’s bananas and fight [...]

Kirby’s Epic Yarn is not a standard Kirby game. Trapped inside a world made from yarn and cloth, the pink puffball has no sucking power but, instead, can transform into various creatures and objects, and he must help stitch the world back together to return to Dream Land. You’d think that without Kirby’s staple power [...]

Much like the original Donkey Kong Country on the SNES, Donkey Kong Country Returns is fun, but I don’t love it, for a few reasons. First, the controls are satisfactory, but they aren’t amazing. I really don’t enjoy waggling as a gameplay element! Also, though the game wasn’t all that challenging, it was extremely frustrating [...]
