Tony Hawk Ride (X360) – 2010 Review

Bobby — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 22:25:46 +0000

$129.00? I think not.

When I first heard about Tony Hawk Ride before its release, I was kind of excited yet as skeptical as everyone else was especially with the Skateboard controller concept. I thought it was just another plastic peripheral that would break after a few uses or not work properly like the [...]

Mass Effect (X360, PC) – 2010 Review

Bobby — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 09:40:35 +0000

Thats what he refers to as his "Little Sheppard"

Before you say anything, yes I know this is a game from 2007, and I realize this is 2010. I also realize the sequel was already released earlier in the year making this review seem even more dated. As the PlayStation 3 is my primary console [...]

Killzone 2 (Single Player/2010) – Review

Bobby — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:40:55 +0000

Space Nazi!

So here at BN-Games.com me and Louis are known as the “360 guys”, which makes sense seeing how we own only Xbox 360s. But lately I have started to venture into the world of the Playstation 3, a system which I have never said I hated or disliked in any way. I’ve made [...]

Skate 3: Danny Way’s Hawaiian Dream DLC (PSN,PS3)

Bobby — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 16:01:03 +0000

I doubt Hawaii has room for this.

If you are a regular of the site, then you will know that I was very critical about the last DLC pack for Skate 3, the Maloof Money Cup NYC. You may be surprised to find my view for this DLC map varies quite differently, as out of [...]

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and the Damned (PS3, DLC)

Bobby — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 16:46:59 +0000

A.K.A. Let a Cocaine Freak Lead your Possee to Doom

It has been nearly two years since the release of the truly epic Rockstar Masterpiece, Grand Theft Auto IV. At the time of its release, Rockstar let slip that there would eventually be downloadable episodes for GTA 4, exclusive to the Xbox 360 platform, but [...]

ModNation Racers (PS3) – Review

Bobby — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 07:36:48 +0000

Karting with Attitude.

“Little Big Kart” is a perfect phrase to define what ModNation Racers aspires to be. No, this is not a Mario Kart clone in high definition; it in many ways is much more than that. Kart racers in a by-the-design-doc sense are mini cars that race along a track with power ups [...]

Gears of War 2 (X360)

I know what you might be saying; “Wait a minute, Marco wrote a review?” Yes, yes I did. But to be honest these past few months have had very few games that I have [...]

Skate 3: Maloof Money Cup DLC (PS3) – Review

Bobby — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 07:06:08 +0000

Overpriced.

The Skate series is no stranger to DLC parks, neither is the Maloof Money Cup, which was a downloadable level in Skate 2. Skate 3’s Maloof Money Cup is based off the real park where the competition was held in New York City. The real Maloof Money Cup competition will be aired on FOX [...]

Bobby — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 00:27:47 +0000

This guy has Anger issues...

ZEUS YOUR SON HAS RETURNED!!! God of war 3 starts off with a bang and doesn’t hold anything back. The game takes off right where it left off and doesn’t disappoint at all, if you have been waiting to play as Kratos and take out revenge on [...]

Red Dead Redemption (PS3) – Review

Bobby — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 20:30:24 +0000

This doesnt look right without his hat....

For the majority of my experience with Red Dead Redemption, while using critical thinking, and imaging how I would write this review, I was totally thrown for a loop toward the end of the main story. It seems, from forum’s opinions that I have read, the conclusion really [...]

Three was Tony Hawk's last good title.....

It is a bit difficult to define the audience EA’s BlackBox is hoping to entice specifically. On one hand they have severely tuned down the difficulty to attract more players with the intention they complete all of the challenges. However Skate 3′s most notable improvements are [...]

Reimaged, same hardware. Nothin wrong with that.

This particular review has become a supplement to my original review for the originally released Mad Catz Street Fighter IV Fight Pad’s because as it turns out, the newly released models are just reskined and are nearly identical in every way. Please read my [...]

Hardware: Sony PSP Go (PlayStation Portable Go) – Review

Bobby — Mon, 10 May 2010 19:04:44 +0000

PSP Go

I was very disappointed with the Original PSP. Its launching game library was kind of dry with very few games that caught my interest, with the exception of a lot of the import titles you can get from Japan like Initial D Street Stage. So you could ask me why then [...]

FEATURE: Halo Reach – First Beta Impression (X360)

Bobby — Mon, 10 May 2010 17:38:16 +0000

2010

There are many things to be said about the Halo franchise as of late. There are many mixed opinions about the last entries in the franchise (Halo 3, Halo Wars, Halo 3: ODST). Personally I have liked every entry in the series thus far, however I will say that some are definitely better than [...]

Super Street Fighter IV (PS3) – Review

Bobby — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 03:52:32 +0000

Great Game, Bad Box Art

Turn back the clocks to 1991, with the release of Street Fighter II. Not only was it a masterpiece in its own right, it technically needed no improvements to its design and formula. Within the span of a year a new version of the game was released with vast improvements [...]

Wakeboarding HD (PS3) – Review

Bobby — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 03:29:49 +0000

Cowabunga?

Wakeboarding HD heralds back to a different area of gaming, most notably the original Playstation and possibly Dreamcast Era’s. I imagine if this game was released back in 1996-1999 it would have retailed for fifty bucks and would have been put on a disc. It really is telling of today’s technology when [...]

Angry Southener's Head West: Prequel

Bobby — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 18:55:52 +0000

Rigo, Tim, and I (Bobby) attended the Capcom SSF4 Launch event, which the three of us would whole wholeheartedly agree was a complete bust. Capcom, how did you not expect thousands of people to show up? Why didn’t your representatives tell the crowd of 2000+ that they may not get in and to go home? [...]

Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe (PS3) – Review

Bobby — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 17:38:23 +0000

Theyve got the rivalries all wrong on the box

Mortal Kombat was the game that, at least when I was younger, made parents afraid of video games. It pushed the boundaries and crossed the lines when it came to how violent a video game could be. As the years went on and Mortal Kombat went [...]

The Greatest Game of ALL Time.

Bioshock 2 (PS3) – Review

Bobby — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 07:11:36 +0000

"uuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh" - Hi

I was not a huge fan of the first Bioshock, on any given platform. Sure it had an inspired story and engaging atmosphere, but as a shooter I always felt it lacked in both precision and fun factor. Bioshock 2 returns us to Rapture with proper dual wielding and shooting mechanics with [...]

Bobby — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 08:14:55 +0000

Origami, yet no Asian's to be found....

The title “Heavy Rain” perfectly embodies Quantic Dream’s interactive drama masterpiece. The title is literal and symbolic in more ways than one, all of which you will discover rather quickly over the course of the eight to ten hours it will take you to complete [...]

Modern Warfare Half/Ass 2

When Sony unveiled the Massive Action Game at E3, permanently associated with the acronym “MAG”, I was skeptical if a 256 player online shooting gallery could ever be pulled off well. Aside from some obvious logistical problems with unit size, balance, and connection issues, just making something that large and complex [...]

Furry Metal N Grease

I have personally never been a huge fan of Insomniac’s Ratchet and Clank series, not because they are not good games, but based on the premise that they tend to get boring rather quickly. Ive delved in more than one of the original Playstation 2 titles and never found the series [...]

Dont go it alone

After playing through Capcom’s revamped continuation of their smash [...]

Capcom FTW

I’m not the biggest fan of fighting games, and when I heard that this was a title that was going to be exclusive to the Wii I had some serious doubts. Now I have played this game about 7 months ago when Capcom was demoing it at Anime Expo 2009, and I tried [...]

There is so much to like about Fable II from a design aspect. The quirky world of Peter Molyneux is rich with little details that make it an interesting one to explore, but the story completely falls flat remaining uninteresting throughout the course [...]

This is the face of dissapointment

When I heard that Konami was making a game based on the Saw movie series I thought “I see how that could be cool, play as a victim and try and escape from Jigsaw’s game, I’m interested.” Yet of course, being a movie based game, I was very wrong.
