Review: Mario Kart (Wii)

Tuesday, May 6, 2008

Friday, March 28, 2008

It's a good thing God of War: Chains of Olympus turned out as well as it did, because the last thing Sony would want to do is tarnish the name of their biggest new IP in years. Thankfully, this is a true God of War game, and does the series' name justice (although on a smaller scale). Read story.

Review: Lost: Via Domus (360)

Wednesday, March 12, 2008

It's definitely cool to experience these familiar locations in an interactive environment, but it's unfortunately not up-to-date. You're pretty much playing through the first two seasons of the show, so don't expect to run into Otherville or try to activate the underwater radio signal from the season 3 finale. Read story.

Review: Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
